Our patron counter comes with the security gates. Previously we used Check Point and now we have the 3M RFID security gates. I understand that 3M now owns Check Point as well. Our previous Check Point counter had a voice message that you can create to warn patrons when materials were not checked out. Both counters work fine for us. They record the number each time when a person walks through the gate. That means you have to divide the number by 2 for going in and out. One time after division we had an odd number. We decided that it could be a mom walk in with a child but put him in her arm when she left.
