RE: moving away from the remote-control paradigm

["Mick Furlong" <dorsai@xxxxxxx>]

Leaves the problem of people who slip though doors sideways unless you have
several beam breaks hmmm I guess horizonal ones leave themselves open to
abuse by limbo dancing conga chains;)

I really think that a combination of technologies is the only way to go.

I like PIR (or BIK when available) plus a mat plus a beam break. If you
can't
figure out occupancy and direction by that lot then the person you are
trying
to track is dead ;)
