A computer-implemented method comprises detecting, with a presence detector such as a radar device, a presence of a person at a location such as an ATM vestibule. In response thereto, a timer is initiated. After initiating the timer, a portal sensor is used to detect a change in a status of a portal permitting access to the location. In response thereto, the timer is adjusted (for example the timer is reset). Thus, multiple consecutive normal usages of the vestibule do not unnecessarily trigger an alarm.

Presence detection and uses thereof

A computer-implemented method for detecting a person in a room using a sensor, such as a radar sensor or depth cameras is provided. The method can be used to detect sleeping persons in a publically accessible location to prevent loitering. Furthermore, the method can be used to identify which rooms amongst a plurality of rooms are occupied, for example changing rooms.
