What is WinCounter?
WinCounter is software that counts occurrences of an event. It records
the date and time of every count and produces reports and graphs that
analyse the data.
The most common use for WinCounter is to count people as they walk
through a doorway. Just mount one of a number of sensors or switches by your
doorway and connect it to your computer WinCounter does the rest, counting people and logging every time the sensor
or switch is activated. You can also have it act like a door minder, playing
a chime or sound as people enter your door.
Use WinCounter's reporting module to
produce predefined reports and graphs that show details of your potential customers
as they come and go. The reports are flexible showing information ranging from
the exact time someone entered your premises to the trends over years.
WinCounter is not just a people counter. With the appropriate
switch or
sensor attached it can count almost anything.

Real-time Display
WinCounter can show a display on your computer screen
that shows the total number of
triggers on each sensor. This display can be reset at
appropriate times so you have an
indication of the current count in real-time through the
day.
Logging
WinCounter records all activations in a database for future analysis. The
information recorded is:
- The exact time of the activation down to one-minute intervals
- The times that the software has been running.
Reports
WinCounter produces a variety of different
reports
that can be configured to suit your
requirements. If you need a special report, registered users can do ad-hoc
analysis of
data using a product like Microsoft Access or Microsoft Excel. If you have a
special
requirement but don't want to build your own reports,
we
can build
customised reports that will allow you to use WinCounter in a special
situation.
Contact us if
you wish to discuss custom reports.

times etc.
- Reports can show a summary graph, and can include a table
showing
the raw
data as well.
- All the original data is retained so you can add on reports in
future.

Sounds
WinCounter can also play a sound every time the
counter is activated. This sound comes through you PC speakers. Using this
feature, WinCounter can double as a doorway minder or a doorbell.

every time
- Sounds can be organized in themes. e.g. chimes,
tunes
etc.
