Face-recognition attendance

Walk in. You're clocked in.

Contactless attendance from the cameras at your doors: employees are recognised as they walk through — check-in, check-out, shift and late tracking, a live headcount and automatic emails when someone doesn't show — with nothing to carry, tap or touch.

what you get

Everything the job needs, in one system

Walk-through check-in / out

Entrance cameras recognise employees in motion — no stopping, no queueing, no reader to tap. Check-out works the same way on exit.

Recognition built for doorways

Two independent face engines (ArcFace + AdaFace) score every face before a record is written — tuned for backlit entrances and people in motion, not passport photos.

Shifts & late detection

Define shift schedules per workplace with per-day patterns and a grace window; arrivals are matched against them and lateness is flagged at check-in, not compiled in a spreadsheet.

Live occupancy

Who is on site right now, per workplace — invaluable for daily operations and critical in an evacuation. Manual check-in covers the exceptions.

Live recognition feed

Every face the door sees, with its crop, its match percentage and the action it triggered — including the unknown ones, so gaps in enrolment are obvious.

Bulk enrolment

Onboard the whole workforce in an assembly line: pick a camera, type a name, capture — the AI keeps the clearest frames itself. New hire? One picture and they're active.

Workplaces & zones

Model offices, floors and sites; assign entrance, exit and overview cameras to each and get per-location attendance out of the box.

Late & absence emails

Draw the rule once: email the line manager when someone on the early shift hasn't been seen by 09:15 — nobody has to remember to check a report.

One camera, two jobs

A door camera can run a face-only vision profile for attendance while the same install keeps doing security — one stream, one licence, two outcomes.

Tracking & dashboards

Hours, punctuality and presence trends per person and per team — payroll-ready records with photo evidence behind every entry.

competitive edge

The advantages competitors can't copy overnight

  1. 01

    Recognition built for real doors

    Dual face engines (ArcFace + AdaFace) handle bad angles, backlight and motion blur — entrance footage, not passport photos, is what this was tuned for.

  2. 02

    Zero added hardware

    Every competitor sells you readers. MIT Attendance runs on the security cameras already pointed at your doors.

  3. 03

    Attendance that reports itself

    Late arrivals, no-shows and after-hours presence become email rules you draw once — HR stops chasing a report and starts receiving one.

  4. 04

    Evidence behind every record

    Each check-in stores the recognised face crop — disputes end with a picture, not a debate.

  5. 05

    One platform with security

    The same MIT Eyes install that guards the site runs attendance — one system, one enrolment, two payrolls' worth of value.

  6. 06

    Private by design

    Biometric data stays on your own servers, self-hosted — not in a badge vendor's cloud.

the platform play

Competitors sell four systems: four installs, four vendors, four invoices. MIT sells one platform where every module reuses the cameras, the AI and the data of the others — so each solution you add costs a fraction and returns in full.

  • One enrolment, everywhere — a face enrolled for security also powers attendance.
  • One plate database — investigations and parking sessions share the same ANPR.
  • One set of rules — the same workflow builder emails on a hazard, a watchlist plate, a no-show or an over-speed.
  • Software, not hardware — the next module is a licence, not a construction project.

Every buddy punch and badge reissue is payroll paid for time nobody worked.
