Mobile App-Based Attendance Systems
- Employees check in via a mobile app with GPS tracking.
- Useful for remote workers and field employees.
- Can integrate with HR and payroll software.
Web-Based Attendance Systems
- Employees log in through an online portal.
- Suitable for hybrid or remote work environments.
- Provides real-time attendance data to managers.
Face Recognition Attendance Machines
- Uses AI-powered facial recognition for fast and contactless attendance.
- Highly secure and eliminates the need for physical touch.
- Works well in high-security environments.
Uses of Time Attendance Machines
- Employee Attendance Tracking – Monitors check-in and check-out times.
- Payroll Processing – Automates salary calculations based on work hours.
- Overtime Management – Tracks extra working hours accurately.
- Workplace Security – Prevents unauthorized access to office premises.
- Compliance & Legal Documentation – Ensures adherence to labor laws and company policies.
- Productivity Enhancement – Helps analyze employee punctuality and efficiency.
Integration with Other Systems
- HR & Payroll Software: Automates salary processing.
- Access Control Systems: Restricts entry to authorized personnel.
- Cloud & Mobile Apps: Enables remote monitoring of attendance data.
Access control devices
Access control devices regulate and restrict entry to buildings, rooms, or areas by verifying an individual’s identity. They enhance security, track access history, and prevent unauthorized entry.
Biometric Access Control Systems
- Uses fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scan, or palm vein recognition.
- Highly secure and prevents unauthorized access.
- Common in high-security areas like data centers and government buildings.
RFID/Proximity Card Readers
- Employees or visitors use an RFID card or key fob for access.
- Works with NFC (Near Field Communication) and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
- Common in offices, hotels, and residential complexes.
Keypad & PIN Code Entry Systems
- Users enter a PIN or passcode to gain access.
- Affordable and easy to use but less secure if codes are shared.
- Used in offices, homes, and warehouses.
Smart Locks
- Operated via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or mobile apps.
- Can be integrated with smart home systems like Alexa and Google Assistant.
- Suitable for homes, apartments, and Airbnbs.
Magnetic & Electric Door Locks
- Use electromagnets or electric strikes to lock/unlock doors.
- Often used with keycards, biometrics, or PIN-based access systems.
- Found in commercial buildings and secured facilities.
Turnstiles & Barrier Gates
- Control pedestrian and vehicle access at entry points.
- Used in stadiums, metro stations, and corporate offices.
- Can be integrated with biometric or RFID systems.
Mobile-Based Access Control
- Uses smartphone apps, QR codes, or Bluetooth for entry.
- Ideal for contactless access in offices and hotels.
- Works well in cloud-based access control systems.
Intercom Systems with Access Control
- Allows audio/video communication before granting access.
- Used at gated communities, apartment buildings, and offices.
- Can integrate with mobile apps for remote access approval.
License Plate Recognition (LPR) Systems
- Uses cameras to scan and verify vehicle license plates.
- Used in parking lots, toll booths, and gated communities.
- Can integrate with barrier gates for automatic entry.
