Magento Recently Viewed Products for non logged users

I'm using default magento 1.9.x Recently Viewed Products block on a CMS page 

{{block type="reports/product_viewed" template="reports/product_viewed.phtml"}}

But default magento Recently Viewed Products block only support for logged in users, so it only show when i logged in

I checked the file

/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Reports/Block/Product/Abstract.php

and It's line number 138 function set a customer id for product collection for filter the results.

But i think normal site visitors not have that kind of id.

if ($this->getCustomerId()) { 
                       $this->_collection->setCustomerId($this->getCustomerId());
 }

Anyone know how to get recently viewed products by setting an id to above or by using another way.

i also tried this answer but it didn't work at all
