Face recognition attendance — on the phone you already own
AI face scan attendance for schools, colleges and offices. Roughly 200–300 milliseconds per person, 60+ scans a minute, and no separate face enrolment drive — we map the photograph your institution has already uploaded.
One photo upload. Faces register themselves.
Ask any school that has installed a biometric face terminal what the worst part was, and the answer is rarely the device — it is the enrolment. Every student, one at a time, standing in front of a machine while somebody types their roll number. A week of lost periods, and then a repeat performance for the students who were absent that day.
Attendances removes that step entirely. Your school captures and uploads student images once — the same set used to print ID cards and populate the parent app — and the system automatically registers those images for face-based attendance. New admissions are mapped the moment their photo is added.
- No enrolment queue. No device-side registration session, ever.
- No re-enrolment. Change the phone, add a gate, replace a tablet — the face database is in the cloud, not in a box on the wall.
- No specialist operator. The office clerk who prepares the UDISE+ export can do everything needed.
Welcome, GATE DEVICE 01
Sample High School (H.S.)
Four steps, a third of a second
Detect
The student steps in front of the mounted phone. The app finds the face and locks on with an on-screen frame.
Match
The face is compared against the institution's pre-mapped image set on our AI engine — typically in 200–300 ms.
Mark
Name, class and roll appear with a confirmation tone. IN or OUT is stamped with the exact time.
Notify
A push notification reaches the parent through School eDiary — with the verification photo, in the Regular version.
| App-based face scan | Biometric face terminal | |
|---|---|---|
| Enrolment | Automatic, from existing photos | Person-by-person, at the device |
| Hardware | Existing Android phone | Terminal per gate, plus wiring |
| Add a second gate | Add a phone | Buy another terminal |
| Parent notification | Built in | Needs extra software |
| Device failure | Use any other phone | Gate is down until serviced |
Nothing to touch, nothing to lend, nothing to lose
A fingerprint reader is a shared surface and a queue. An RFID card can be handed to a friend at the gate. A face is neither. Add the fact that the Regular version sends the parent the photo captured at the moment of marking, and proxy attendance stops being worth attempting.
- Hygienic — no contact surface at the gate
- Nothing for a student to forget at home
- Optional live photo verification on every single punch
- Works for teaching and non-teaching staff on the same app
Face attendance, answered
Do students have to register their face separately, like on a biometric machine?
No — and this is the single biggest practical difference. Your school uploads one photograph per student to the system (the same image used for the ID card and the School eDiary profile). Our system maps that image for face recognition automatically. Nobody queues in front of a device, and nothing has to be re-enrolled if a phone is replaced.
How accurate is it? Twins, spectacles, growth spurts?
The engine is built on the Google Face SDK toolkit, which handles spectacles, haircuts and normal growth well. For genuinely difficult cases — identical twins, or a student whose appearance has changed sharply — the school refreshes the photo, or that student marks attendance with their QR card instead. Running both modes side by side means no one is ever stuck at the gate.
What about masks, or a student looking down at a phone?
The face must be visible to be matched, as with any face system. In practice the operator sees an on-screen prompt and the student looks up; it adds a second. Where masks are mandatory, QR card scanning is the sensible mode.
How many phones do we need for 1,500 students?
One phone clears 60+ people a minute, so a single scan point handles roughly 1,000 students within a 15-minute arrival window. Schools with wide gates or a tight assembly bell usually run two or three phones — which costs the price of two or three phones, not two or three biometric terminals.
Is the face image stored? Who can see it?
Face data is held securely in your institution's account and used only for attendance matching. In the Regular version the scan photo is shared with that student's own parent as verification; in the Lite version no image is shared outward at all. The institution owns the data and can export or request deletion.
See a face scan happen at your own gate
We will bring a phone, set it up at your entrance, and mark a class in front of you — with the parent notification landing live on a phone in the room.
