Hi everyone, we are planning to distribute some paxcounters around the city to measure the people flow. Now the question is what the mac queue is for or how does it work if the paxcounter counts 50+ unique mac addresses...

will it count duplicate devices since the queue of the stored mac queue is full or anything other :D

You don't need to worry of the MAC queue, it's only for buffering peaks. 50 is more than enough, even in crowded areas.

Tip: Use the software in development branch. It features a much more efficient method to avoid duplicates. The dev branch is stable, the current version will be released as v2.5.0 in master soon.
