This is a basic visitor detector. It creates a list of everyone who visits within the range you specify*. The scan range can be set anywhere from just a few meters, all the way to the maximum distance possible - 2,147,483,647 meters. This list can then be later viewed privately by the owner. Although messages from the visitor detector are sent to the local chat window, these messages are only seen by you, the owner. You can also enable IM notifications to notify you when a new visitor has been added to the visitor list. Also, with Autohide enabled, the prim will automatically hide itself when the owner is more than 5 meters away. Simply click the visitor detector to make the menu appear.
Tip: After rezzing a visitor detector, rename it to describe the area it is in. For example, if you place it in your skybox, you could rename it to "Skybox Visitor Detector".
Note: The visitor detector will record a maximum of 150/300** visitors in the visitor list, depending on whether or not timestamps are enabled. With timestamps enabled, the limit is 150. With timestamps disabled, the limit is 300. Timestamps are disabled by default. Once this limit has been reached, the oldest entries will automatically be removed to make room for newer visitors. This is to prevent script crashes as well as to retain script performance.
************************************************************
TP Links(Version 1.6+):
With TP Links enabled, any time the visitor detector notifies you of a new visitor via IM, it will include a teleportation link which will teleport you directly to that visitor's location at the time they were detected.
Please be prompt when using this feature as the visitor may have already left the area by the time you click the link.
The message will also include how many meters away that avatar is from the visitor detector at the time they were detected, which is to give you an indication as to whether or not you should in fact teleport to them. Please be mindful of neighbors who might inadvertently come into range.
************************************************************
Multi-Visit Timer(Version 1.7+):
The Multi-Visit Timer, or "MV Timer" for short, is a timer which allows you to specify the minimum amount of time the visitor detector must wait before adding someone to the list again since their last visit. For example, if you have the timer set to 3 hours, and someone is added to the list, it will be at least another 3 hours before they can be added again. This allows the visitor detector to record multiple visits by the same person. By default, the MV Timer is off, which means that the visitor detector will not record subsequent visits by someone who is already in the list. This setting will vary depending on your own situation. If you start receiving too many notifications, try taking it up to the next level. For example, instead of 3 hours, try 6 hours, etc. You have 12 settings to choose from for the MV Timer: Off, 15 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 1 Hour, 2 Hours, 3 Hours, 6 Hours, 12 Hours, 24 Hours, 48 Hours, 72 Hours, and 1 Week.
************************************************************
Scan Mode(Version 1.9+):
The scan mode lets you determine what type of scan you want to perform when detecting visitors: Region or Parcel.
When set to Region(the default setting), all avatars within the region can be detected as a visitor so long as they are within the scan range.
Parcel mode allows you to further restrict detections not just based on distance, but whether or not avatars are on the same parcel as the visitor detector as well.
************************************************************
Time Zone(Version 2.0+):
The time zone option allows you to set the time zone, in number of hours, behind or ahead of the GMT/UTC time zone for which you want the timestamps displayed.
Version 2.5+: The time zone dialog now displays the current GMT/UTC timestamp to assist you in setting this value correctly.
************************************************************
Version 2.7: View List now outputs the timestamp before the avatar name so that all the timestamps are aligned in a column, making the output more elegant and easier to sort through.
************************************************************
Please feel free to copy the script into your inventory and place it into objects that suit your preference. You can place it in a wide range of objects: trees, plants, chairs, lamps, or any other object you can modify.
Prim is Copy/Mod/No Transfer, script is Copy/No Mod/No Transfer.

BEST VISITOR DETECTOR ON THE MARKET
ITS SIMPLE, EASY TO USE, AND DOES IT ALL... AMAZING PRICE ...
MUST HAVE PRODUCT ! ! ! !
Simple and Effective A+++++++
If only all tools were the well conceived and easy to use.
Excellent!
This does exactly what I was looking for, and it is so user friendly. Bonus is the low price. Thank you, Arron Rainfall.
Simple & clean. Works well, does as described.
Only two points that fell flat for me: (1) I wish that when receiving an IM notification of a new visitor or when checking the visitor list, the visitors' usernames linked to the respective user's profile, as is the case in some other visitor detectors/security devices. Also (2), I wish I could detect every single visit made from the same person (as opposed to having to choose between detecting multiple visits at a hour apart, which isn't useful to me, or not at all) although I get that maybe that wasn't the purpose you created this for (I'm using this for a personal residence, not a commercial or more public/high traffic use). Other than that, it works fine and isn't costly. It's a simple utility more than anything.
I won't be using this for the time being as it didn't fulfill my personal usage purposes. While I am disappointed, I wouldn't say that it takes away from the actual objective quality.
The menu is very clean, simple, and extremely easy to use. I really like that you can switch on and off the auto-hide and that you can easily put the script into any household item too.
Great detector!
The scripting of this is so clever and it's so simple to operate. One thing I love about it is that you don't have to be the landowner to use it (though of course you do need to have rezz rights). My land is owned by an alt, so this still works for me as the main avatar. Every feature is just amazingly simple and relevant. I am still working out Autohide - does this mean that the Detector can be hidden? But it doesn't disappear when I click it. But I am sure this is just a lack of my understanding! I probably need to re-read the notes that came with it. Anyway, this is a great little script! Thank you!
Great price, great product
I use this gadget at home but it would also work great for a small store.
Good functionality and configurability. Never had problems with the product.
