1
Does the HPC168 bus passenger counter device support HTTP POST to a custom URL to send count data in real time?What is the data format sent - JSON or hexadecimal string?

The HPC168's RJ45 interface uses the HTTP POST method for uploading and retrieving data. The server response must specify UTF-8 encoding and disable the Accept-Charset response header. All POST field values ​​are hexadecimal strings of the actual data.

Please refer to HPC168 protocol document for details, which contains complete parameter introductions and practical transmission examples for your integration testing.

2
How do we integrate your HPC008 people counting camera?
There are two integration options for the HPC008 people counting camera.
1. If you use our software, you can actively retrieve all kinds of data via our provided API. Please refer to our API documentation for details.
2. If you do not use our software, you may refer to the communication protocol shown on the last three pages of the manual. You can connect directly to the device for integration and develop your own software.
3
Interference Handling: Since your ESL labels operate on Bluetooth 2.4GHz, how does your system handle potential interference with existing store Wi-Fi networks?

There will be no obvious signal interference between our 2.4GHz Bluetooth ESL system and the store’s existing Wi-Fi networks.

Our communication protocol sets independent, isolated frequency channels for Bluetooth data transmission, which effectively avoids signal overlap and conflict with nearby Wi-Fi signals.

Even in supermarkets dense with wireless devices, the tags maintain stable data synchronization with base stations without delays or failed updates caused by surrounding Wi-Fi signals.

4
Can the ESL price tags be managed easily in bulk through one management system?

Definitely. Our ESL management software is fully equipped with bulk operation functions to manage all ESL price tags efficiently in batches.

You can modify pricing information, switch display images or update product details for dozens or hundreds of labels at once instead of editing tags one by one. The intuitive interface cuts down repetitive manual work, making large-scale tag maintenance quick and hassle-free for supermarket daily management.

5
Does the HPC168 bus passenger counter system support HTTPS‑based monitoring access? If yes, can you provide a demo? Is there a software platform available for real‑time viewing of all data?
The HPC168 bus passenger counter system doesn't come with an out‑of‑the‑box software platform. We provide underlying RS485 protocol and HTTP protocol for data integration. You may integrate the data into your existing platform or develop a brand‑new customized software platform.
6
Can your technical team help us set up the ESL software and AP base station remotely by AnyDesk?

Sure, our technical team is able to assist with remote setup for both ESL management software and AP base stations via AnyDesk.

We will guide your on-site operators step by step during the remote session to finish configuration efficiently.

All routine debugging and basic troubleshooting can also be completed remotely through this tool.

7
Can the HPC168 bus passenger counter communicate with the customer's multimedia devices?
HPC168 bus passenger counter is a counting device, not a video‑recording device. The HPC168 passenger counter device itself performs image analysis and processing, and outputs passenger boarding and alighting data. This data can be integrated via the RS485 or HTTP protocols we provide.
8
Can the software allow us to manually upload JPG/PNG poster images and assign different posters to different ESL tag screens or groups? We do not need POS/ERP integration at this stage.

Absolutely, our software supports this operation perfectly. It comes with built-in template tools enabling you to manually import JPG and PNG poster files.

You can freely allocate distinct uploaded pictures to separate individual ESL tags or customized tag groups as needed.

As you don’t require POS or ERP system linkage for now, you can skip relevant integration settings entirely and focus on independent image editing and screen layout customization for your price labels.

9
Does the infrared people counter require good lighting conditions to work properly? Will dim or low‑light environments affect its counting accuracy?
The infrared people counter can work normally without ambient lighting. However, light sources such as sunlight and spotlights contain infrared components, which may interfere with counting accuracy. Turning off the lights only eliminates interference from indoor lamps, while sunlight causes particularly obvious interference.
10
Does the ESL electronic shelf labeling system work directly via Bluetooth from a mobile phone, or is a gateway / base station required?

Our ESL tags cannot run independently via direct Bluetooth connection from mobile phones, and a dedicated base station gateway is mandatory for full system operation.

All electronic shelf labels rely on the base station to receive data and synchronize display content from the management software. Without the supporting gateway, standalone price tags fail to receive update commands or function normally. This dedicated gateway design also stabilizes wireless communication across the whole supermarket environment.

11
Can a SIM card be inserted into the sensor of the HPC168 bus passenger counter?
The HPC168 passenger counter unit itself does not support SIM‑card functionality. It can connect to an external GPRS module via the RS485 protocol for network connectivity.
12
Can we order extra backup items together with the ESL price tag sample or future order?

Absolutely you can arrange extra backup items alongside your sample order or any subsequent formal bulk purchase of ESL price tags.

Please feel free to list required backup parts when confirming your order details. We will combine these spare goods into the same shipment to save extra delivery fees and streamline your receiving process efficiently.
