Present by simply facing the device
Face recognition complements card taps: face data syncs to each device, and every check-in leaves a log
A card can be left at home; a face cannot. Face-recognition devices at the gate or kiosk identify arriving students and staff, record their attendance, and keep a log per device — running side by side with the card-tap attendance already in place.
- Face recognition on the school's attendance devices
- Face data synced from the system to every device
- Traceable attendance logs per device
What you get
Not dependent on a card in a pocket
A student whose card was left behind is still recorded present — a face is the one identity that always comes along.
Devices managed from the dashboard
Attendance devices are registered in the system, and face data syncs to them from there — no configuring each unit by hand.
Every recognition leaves a log
The face-device attendance log keeps who was recognised, on which device, and when — so anomalies are easy to trace.
One summary with card attendance
Face attendance results feed the same daily attendance summary, so form teachers read one report, not two.

FAQ
Questions about Face Attendance
- Does face attendance replace card taps?
- No — the two run side by side. A school can use cards, faces, or both, depending on the devices available at each point.
- How does face data reach the devices?
- Through synchronisation from the dashboard: members' face data is pushed to registered devices, so new students do not have to be enrolled manually at each unit.
- Can the logs be audited?
- Yes. The face-device attendance log records every recognition per device and can be traced from the dashboard.
