Appendix B: Data Integration Report Diagnostic Guideline

1. From the left-hand side, go to Settings then Sites.

If there is high IN OUT discrepancy, investigate the reason with the below possibilities.

Reason Solution
When there is a device at the site which is offline, its data will not be uploaded to the server and thus the site data is incomplete, causing high IN OUT discrepancy. The data will be uploaded as soon as the device is connected back to the server.
If any of the device has been powered off during operating hours, the device will not be counting anymore and the data during those hours will be lost, thus the site data is incomplete and leads to high discrepancies Lost data cannot be retrieved. DO NOT power off any active device during operating hours in future to prevent this issue happening again
Entrances not fully covered. When not all entrances at the site is installed with FootfallCam device, visitors entering/ exiting through other entrance(s) will not be included into the counting and thus leading to high IN OUT discrepancy. This could be solved once all the entrances of the site have been installed with FootfallCam device and correctly allocated to the site by checking with the site manager.
Live view of any device installed at entrance which is in used is blocked or the tracking line has been changed not by FFC personnel. Ensure live views of all devices are not blocked.
Live view changed. When the device has been repositioned, the tracking zone may not fit the new position anymore. The device may not be counting accurately and leads to high IN OUT discrepancy. Raise a support ticket to FFC team to inform on the repositioning and request for reverification.

Check the Data Integrity Report

1. From the left-hand side, go to Site Reports then Data Integrity.

2. Click Options. Choose the store you want to access in the Site drop-down and the date in the Select Day then click Apply.

3. The Site Level is where we will see the overall data of the store.

4. The Device Level shows the data per device. We can distinguish it with the device name and serial number.

If the red and blue line has a huge misalignment, it means there is a huge discrepancy in the data.

5. The Device Power Log Hourly for the last 7 days shows what time the device was online. If there is a white gap in between, it means the device was power off during that time.

6. The Device Live View Photos is a snippet of what can be seen through the camera. It shows the latest view of the month. This will give us an idea if there were some changes or movements of the arrangements in the store which might be the reason of the discrepancy in the count.

Note: Zoom in the photo to see the date and time when the photo was taken.

  • If you could find any symptom of causing the data inaccuracy, raise a support ticket to FFC team. For re-tuning the device

Missing Data

Note

User must ensure the device have no health check issue (refer 8.1 Device Health Check), accuracy audit stage is '#3 Tuned' or '#4 Completed' (refer 7.1.1 Accuracy Audit Stages) and there is no issue with the device's live view before doubting on this.

From Analytics Center, users may encounter missing data issue. The data can either be missing during certain hours in a day up to a whole day, a few days or even more. Users are able to determine since when the missing data issue happen by extending the date range for viewing.

Example of missing data:

Missing data issue might be happening on site level or device level, which may have different causes for each.

Some of the common causes of site level missing data are as below:

  1. No device is allocated to the site
  2. Site is not operating
  3. Operating hours of the site have been set wrongly
  4. Site data aggregation failed
  5. All devices at the site have been deactivated
  6. All devices at the site are currently offline
  7. All devices at the site have been powered off during a certain period
  8. The accuracy audit stage of all devices at the site are not '#3 Tuned' or '#4 Completed'
  9. The usage of devices at the site is wrongly set
  10. No device at the site is chosen with 'Site Entrance' usage
  11. All devices at the site have been repositioned
  12. Tracking lines of all devices at the site have been changed unauthorized

Some of the common causes of device level missing data are as below:

  1. Device is currently offline
  2. Device is now online but has been powered off previously
  3. The device is not with the accuracy audit stage of '#3 Tuned' or '#4 Completed'
  4. Store layout has been changed or device has been repositioned after the device is tuned or certified and the tracking zone does not fit anymore

Abnormal Data/ Spike

Note

User must ensure the device have no health check issue (refer 8.1 Device Health Check), accuracy audit stage is '#3 Tuned' or '#4 Completed' (refer 7.1.1 Accuracy Audit Stages) and there is no issue with the device's live view before doubting on this.

While checking on the data, users might also come across abnormal data trend or spike issue. It might be happening on a particular day or at a particular hour every day.

Scenario 1 - When a user notices the counting is much higher/ lower on a particular day
STEP 1 Browse to Analytics Center and select the site/ device.
STEP 2 Choose the date range to be at least one week.
STEP 3 Select the related Metric and Day to view daily data.
STEP 4 Make comparison if user wish to view several Metric or Site at once.
STEP 5 Click Apply.
STEP 6 Compare the data from day to day, ideally to compare it with the same day (e.g. compare this Monday with past Mondays).
STEP 7 If the counting on a particular day is significantly higher/ lower than the other days, the counting on that day can be said to be abnormal.
Example

 

Scenario 2 - When a user notices the counting is much higher/ lower than the actual visitor counts everyday
STEP 1 Browse to Analytics Center and select the site/ device.
STEP 2 Choose a date.
STEP 3 Select the related Metric and Hour to view hourly data.
STEP 4 Make comparison between Dates.
STEP 5 Click Apply.
STEP 6 Check on the data to see if there is any spike at a particular hour.
STEP 7 If there is usual traffic at the site/ device's entrance at a particular hour, user can conclude the site's/ device's data at the hour to be abnormal.
Example

Listed below are some common causes of abnormal data/ spike issue:

for an Online and accuracy audit stage is '#4 Completed' device:

  1. One or more devices are offline/ powered off
  2. Store layout has been changed after the device is verified and the tracking zone does not fit anymore
  3. Early closing of store which the door triggers noise when it is in tracking zone when it is closed
  4. A sudden light change, either turning on of light when the environment is dark or it can be triggered by a flash of sunlight reflection too
  5. Staff restocking while pushing a trolley with tall goods across the tracking lines

Compare the data after reset the Data Range to longer date in order to have a clearer view on the data trend. If a device is properly configured from user's side, online and verified but abnormal data/ spike is observed during operating hours, please raise a support ticket to FootfallCam regarding this Abnormal Data issue as this can be due to different causes and requires investigation.

(Info: For more information on Raising a Support Ticket, please refer to 24.3 Raising an Issue.)

Data Aggregation Troubleshooting

Data Aggregation is the aggregation of device minute data into site hourly or daily data. The process will automatically run but may failed due to some reasons.

When the process failed, the site will be tagged in orange with 'Data Aggregation' with the respective causes. There are 3 types of tags for 'Data Aggregation':

  1. Data Aggregation: Partial - Insufficient Hour Uploaded
    • Reason: There is offline device(s) at the site, causing the site data to be incomplete.
    • Solution: Ensure all the device(s) are online to obtain the complete data.
    • Checking: Please refer to 8.1.1.1 Current Network Status
  2. Data Aggregation: Partial - Power Off
    • Reason: One/ more device(s) is detected to be powered off during operating hours, causing the site data to be incomplete.
    • Solution: Ensure all device(s) are powered on in the future to prevent the issue from happening again.
    • Checking: 8.1.1.3 Power Status History
  3. Data Aggregation: Failed
    • Reason: This is probably due to the running of the aggregation script has failed.
    • Solution: Raise a support ticket to FootfallCam on this issue (refer to 24.3 Raising an Issue to create a support ticket to FootfallCam).

IN OUT Discrepancy Troubleshooting

IN OUT Discrepancy is the percentage of the difference between IN count and OUT count of a site. It is normal for a site to have a small discrepancy between the IN and OUT counting due to environmental issues. However, only a discrepancy of less than 10% can be tolerated.

When yesterday's IN OUT discrepancy of a site exceeds 10%, the site will be tagged in red with 'IN OUT Discrepancy' with the respective discrepancy percentage.

There are several reasons which may lead to high IN OUT discrepancy of a site:

  1. Low traffic
    • Reason: When the site traffic is low, a small difference between the IN OUT counting would easily lead to a high IN OUT discrepancy.
    • Therefore, when the site is having 'Low Traffic' tag at the same time, we should conclude the site is not having discrepancy issue even when there is 'IN OUT Discrepancy' tag.
  2. One/ more devices at the site is offline/ powered off (for multiple device sites)
    • Reason 1: When there is any device at the site which is offline, its data will not be uploaded to the server and thus the site data is incomplete, causing high IN OUT discrepancy.
    • Solution 1: The data will be uploaded as soon as the device is connected back to the server.
    • Reason 2: If any of the device has been powered off during operating hours, the device will not be counting anymore and the data during those hours will be lost, thus the site data is incomplete and leads to high IN OUT discrepancy.
    • Solution 2: Lost data cannot be retrieved. DO NOT power off any active device during operating hours in the future to prevent this issue from happening again.
    • Checking: Please refer to 8.1.1.3 Power Status History
  3. Entrances not fully covered
    • Reason: When not all entrances at the site is installed with FootfallCam device, visitors entering/ exiting through other entrance(s) will not be included into the counting and thus leading to high IN OUT discrepancy.
    • Solution: This could be solved once all the entrances of the site have been installed with FootfallCam device and correctly allocated to the site by checking with the site manager.
  4. Live view of any device installed at entrance which is in used is blocked or the tracking line has been changed not by FootfallCam personnel
    • Reason 1: When the live view of any device is blocked, the device may not be counting properly and thus the site data will be incomplete.
    • Solution 1: Ensure live views of all devices are not blocked.
    • Checking 1: Check device's live view by accessing the home page of the device or from data integrity report (refer 7.3.1.1 Live View Checking for live view checking details).
    • Reason 2: When tracking zone has been changed unauthorized for any device, it may not be the best settings for the device and hence the device may not be counting accurately anymore, leading to high IN OUT discrepancy.
    • Solution 2: DO NOT try to adjust the tracking lines unless it's approved by FootfallCam. Raise a support ticket if the IN OUT discrepancy issue
  5. Live view changed
    • Reason: When the device has been repositioned, the tracking zone may not fit the new position anymore. So the device may not be counting accurately and leads to high IN OUT discrepancy.
    • Solution: Raise a support ticket to FootfallCam to inform on the repositioning and request for reverification.

Raise a support ticket to FootfallCam if the IN OUT discrepancy issue is genuine (refer to 24.3 Raising an Issue to create a support ticket to FootfallCam).

Other Accuracy Issues

Whenever user is doubting the counting accuracy of any device but do not find any issue from Site Management & Health Check page or Analytics Center, before requesting for a reverification from FootfallCam, the user is expected to perform self-accuracy auditing to determine whether a verification request will be necessary, or whether it will be approved or not.

Note

For a guide on self-accuracy auditing, please refer to 7.2 Self Accuracy Auditing.

Once a user has scheduled a video and is ready to review the accuracy of the device, the user must bear the following in mind:

  1. Children are meant to be excluded from the counting by FootfallCam
  2. Individuals are only counted if they cross either the IN line, or the OUT line.
  3. Individuals are meant to be excluded if they cross the exclusion line.
  4. An individual is counted as soon as they exit the tracking zone.
  5. If multiple visitors are entering and have crossed the IN or OUT line, each of the user will be counted.
  6. Visitors that are hovering over an entrance will only be counted once.
  7. Each line drawn will have different accuracy. While we cannot guarantee that the accuracy for both lines will be the same, we can guarantee they will be above 90%.

When the user has scheduled the video and review its accuracy according to the specifications above, the user can request for a reverification by raising a support ticket to FootfallCam, attaching the date and time of the checked videos and the counting accuracy in the ticket. Please note that following circumstance when FootfallCam personnel will consider the reverification

  1. The reviewed accuracy is below 90%.
  2. The reviewed sample size is above 20.

If the sample size of the scheduled video is 2 and there is a miss count of 1, it will affect in an accuracy of 50%. Under this condition, FootfallCam will not perform the reverification as there is insufficient sample size to reach the conclusion that the counting is inaccurate. The following table highlights the conditions in which a reverification will be approved and whether a surcharge will be apply or not.

Approval Situations
Approve 1. Verification report video was detecting static objects
2. Device does not cover the whole entrance since the beginning
3. Device has been replaced or swapped, approved by FootfallCam
4. Change of store environment (Surcharge Applied)
5. Repositioning of device (Surcharge Applied)
Disapprove 1. Unsatisfied with the accuracy achieved but accuracy is above 90% with a sample size greater than 40
2. Compared to manual counting with another camera
