The system comprises a movement detection device (A;B;C;D) for detecting a movement of the object. The system further comprises an electronic processing device () for storing information relating to a position of the object in a zone-wise way, based on a detected movement of the object. The electronic processing device is configured for determining the presence of the object within the area based on a detected movement of the object and stored information relating to the position of the object. The system is highly sensitive and highly prevents false presence detections.
