Wifi monitoring showing weird results

So,

I'm currently developing a indoor location based system based on wifi packets.

I have 4 Raspberry PIs on strategic points of my building working as wireless monitoring stations, the PIs capture 802.11 packets and store the relevant data (Origin MAC, Destination MAC, rssi and a timestamp) on a local storage.

The system appears to be working fine, but I'm collecting WAY to much unique Origin MAC addresses. Over the course of 1 month I've captured over 60k unique MACs (which is almost half of my city's population) and i have no idea how that can even be possible. Do you guys have any idea of what can be causing this?

Thanks in advance!
