How is Store Dwell calculated?

Store Dwell time is the average time a customer spends in the store. 

In addition to product and service areas we map a dwell area across the shop floor so that we can calculate the average time customers spend in the store. We may create several of these areas depending on the size of the store and the number of camera views. For stores with multiple floors, for example,  we will map dwell sections for each floor.
