Multi-stage festival — Front-of-stage crowd density monitoring

Montreal • Summer 2026 (preliminary tests + 3-day festival)

Preliminary validation across two June outdoor shows, followed by instrumentation of the main stages of a three-day festival on downstage trusses, with an Orangead specialist stationed at the security command post.

Continuous pit density readout shared live with security teams across all three days, followed by a documented post-event report.

Capabilities & operating conditions

What Orangead measures — and under what conditions

Our sensors complement ticketing, field teams and existing systems across open perimeters. No facial recognition, no age or gender profiling, and no automated panic prediction.

Field-validated

Foot traffic & passage counting

Observed line or perimeter crossings by time interval at entrances, footbridges and corridors.

Conditions & limits: A passage is not a unique visitor. Human quality check prior to report delivery; no derived cameras.
Available under conditions

Zone crowd density & occupancy

Estimated people present divided by observed usable area (people/m²) and compared against an agreed reference capacity.

Conditions & limits: Recommended mount on downstage truss or high structure (~15 ft), wired LAN (15–30 Mbps/sensor) and an Orangead specialist at the security command post.
Available under conditions

Directional flows & zone transfers

Directional movement observation along instrumented corridors (stage exits, bridges, access lanes).

Conditions & limits: Measured per instrumented zone with no individual cross-camera tracking; overlapping sightlines are separated during planning.
Available under conditions

Zone presence duration (dwell)

Estimated duration of presence within a defined perimeter (fan zone, lobby, activation area).

Conditions & limits: Presence within a zone does not by itself prove queue waiting time; method specified per site geometry.
Available under conditions

Operational thresholds & command-post relay

Configuration of occupancy or density benchmarks agreed with the venue operator, monitored in Mission Control.

Conditions & limits: At major events, readings are qualified by an Orangead specialist at the security command post; operational decisions remain with the operator.
Quality review included

Post-event reports & verified exports

Structured post-event report (scope, definitions, per-zone findings, limitations, outage log) plus exports on request.

Conditions & limits: Every report undergoes human verification of calculations and sensor continuity prior to client delivery.

Front-of-stage pit01

Is front-of-stage concentration approaching the agreed threshold?

Measured signal: Density in people/m² and 15-minute trend (subject to wired network and truss mount).

Operator action: The specialist at the security command post informs operations, who open lateral relief lanes or redirect gates.

Conditional: wired network recommended (15–30 Mbps/sensor) and specialist at the security command post.

Inter-stage transfer02

How much crowd shifts toward Stage B after a headliner ends?

Measured signal: Passages per 5-minute interval across the connector corridor.

Operator action: Field teams pre-position marshals ahead of the exit wave.

An observed passage does not equal a unique visitor.

Main gates03

Which gate absorbs most arrivals between 6 PM and 8 PM?

Measured signal: Observed line crossings per gate and hourly pace.

Operator action: Rebalance gate staffing and directional signage.

Complements ticket scans (covers unticketed perimeters).

Post-event review04

Which hours and zones saw peak load across the 3 days?

Measured signal: Verified per-zone history, documented peaks and observations log.

Operator action: Adjust stage, concession and barrier layout for the next edition.

Human quality review performed prior to report delivery.

How a deployment works

Five steps from scoping to final debrief

At every stage, what Orangead delivers and what your site team provides are explicitly defined.

ÉTAPE 01

Operational scoping

Orangead : Qualify priority questions, candidate zones and genuinely measurable indicators.

Your venue: Share the site plan, dates, existing structures and operations / IT contacts.

ÉTAPE 02

Coverage plan

Orangead : Define Seetrus mount locations, usable areas (m²), reference capacities and per-point prerequisites.

Your venue: Confirm continuous 120 V power, local network (or VLAN) and rigging access.

ÉTAPE 03

Installation & verification

Orangead : Mount and safety-cable sensors (30–60 min/unit), calibrate zones and verify timestamps and feed before doors open.

Your venue: Provide site access, lift if needed, and sign off on operational benchmarks.

ÉTAPE 04

Live operations

Orangead : Monitor feeds as contracted, qualify agreed thresholds (with command-post specialist when included) and log any outage.

Your venue: Maintain agreed power/network and make all on-site operational decisions.

ÉTAPE 05

Post-event report & debrief

Orangead : Perform human quality review, document findings, limitations and any missing windows, then present the debrief.

Your venue: Share operational context so observed curves connect to real field events.

Commercial formats

Four ways to engage Orangead

Every proposal separates planning, hardware, rigging, live operations and post-event analysis.

1. Validation pilot

Answer a specific operational question across a targeted set of zones and an agreed window, with a documented debrief.

  • Question scoping and success criteria
  • Installation, field check and measurement readout
  • Comparative debrief and next-step recommendation

Scope, duration, structure/network access and deliverable agreed prior to load-in.

2. Single event or full season

Turnkey rental for an event or season: planning, agreed coverage, installation, Mission Control access, operational support and final report.

  • Per-zone coverage plan plus load-in / load-out
  • Platform access plus specialist at the security command post per agreement
  • Post-event report reviewed by the Orangead team

Dates and zones, hours, on-site technical presence and weather terms set in contract.

3. Multi-site or venue network

A repeatable measurement standard applied across simultaneous venues (games, city-wide events) or multiple dates for one operator.

  • Shared zone-naming, calibration and quality-control method
  • Per-venue dashboards and verified consolidated view
  • Cross-venue or edition-over-edition comparative report

Connectivity and 120 V power confirmed per venue; consolidation after per-venue validation.

4. Deployment partner

A method and technical kit enabling stage providers, AV integrators and production teams to integrate Seetrus into client deployments.

  • Truss/structure mounting sheets plus power/network prerequisites
  • Mounting training, remote calibration and clear role split
  • Joint quote preparation support

Exact split (who mounts, calibrates, monitors and bills) agreed per project.

What shapes a project quote

Number of zones to observe and site geometry (pit width, sightline obstacles, available heights)
Operating duration (weekend, 10-day run, seasonal series or permanent setup)
Rigging conditions: existing structure access, lift requirement, load-in/load-out windows
Availability of continuous 120 V power and wired LAN (15–30 Mbps/sensor) per mount
Live operational support level (Orangead specialist stationed at the security command post)
Deliverable depth: live dashboard, post-event report, multi-day or multi-venue comparison

DATA GOVERNANCE & QUEBEC LAW 25

Engineered to minimize personal information

Frames captured by Seetrus are processed locally in volatile memory (RAM) inside the sensor and are never written to disk. Only TLS-encrypted aggregated counts are transmitted — primarily locally on site or to external AWS Montreal (ca-central-1) servers, separate from the US-hosted Firebase infrastructure running this commercial website.
