WinCounter is not only useful for business situations, it can be a useful addition to your home. It will take advantage of the power of your existing PC and help you monitor and count things in the background.
If you want to be warned in advance that someone has passed through your gate then you can mount an infra-red beam sensor over your gate that is connected to WinCounter. You can configure WinCounter to play any sound you want to alert you of approaching visitors. As well as alerting you at the time you can also use WinCounter's reporting module to view the history of coming and going from your property. You can see if people visited while you were away and find out the time they visited. You can find out what time your teenager got home on Saturday night or prove to the courier company that they were late delivering your package.
By connecting WinCounter to a doorbell switch you can play any sound you want when someone arrives at the door. Have some fun play themes or even random sounds. The added bonus is that you can also review the history of when people arrived at your door and rang the doorbell.
