People counters
by Brandon D. Richards 03 May '16

03 May '16

Good afternoon! If anybody is willing, we're currently looking to gather recommendations for people counters. We're mostly concerned with getting an accurate count (people don't get counted twice, people walking side-by-side get accurately counted, etc) and having a simple way to retrieve and reset the data. Thanks! Brandon Richards Technology Coordinator/Trainer Houghton Lake Public Library 4431 W. Houghton Lake Dr. Houghton Lake, MI 48629 Phone: 989.366.9230 URL: www.hlpl.org

Looking at adding more games to our library but not sure how/if I want to set up multiple Steam accounts. If anyone has done this, were you able to shut off purchasing within the app?
