A turnstile, also called a baffle gate, is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time. It can also be made so as to enforce one-way traffic of people, and in addition, it can restrict passage to people who insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or similar. Thus a turnstile can be used in the case of paid access (sometimes called a Faregate when used for this purpose), for example public transport or a pay toilet, or to restrict access to authorized people, for example in the lobby of an office building.

It is just called a 'people counter'. A turnstile is just a gate consisting of a post that acts as a pivot for rotating arms; set in a passageway for controlling the persons entering. A turnstile may or may not have a 'people counter'.

The three armed monster sticking out of the side of a metal box? It's called a turnstile. It isn't typically used specifically to count people. It is used to deter people from passing through without paying.
