A complete system for your campus

Staff attendance

Teachers and staff clock in with face or fingerprint time attendance machines, and HR gets working hours, late arrivals and absences in Synktime attendance software.

Student attendance

Students can tap an ID card or use face recognition at the entrance, giving you an accurate daily attendance record without paper registers.

Student & staff ID cards

Print photo ID cards on your own ID card printer, with access cards, ribbons and blank PVC cards.

Access control & security

Control doors and gates with card readers such as the ZKTeco KR602E, and add walk-through metal detectors at main entrances.

Why schools choose biometric and card attendance

  • No more manual registers: attendance is recorded the moment staff or students arrive
  • Accurate staff reports for payroll, leave and late arrivals
  • One ID card can be used for attendance, door access and identification
  • Touch-free face recognition is fast at busy morning entry times
  • Reports for management at any time, across one or several campuses

Frequently asked questions

What is the best attendance system for a school?

Most schools use face or fingerprint terminals for staff, and ID cards or face recognition for students. A combined system gives you one set of reports for everyone.

Can we print student ID cards ourselves?

Yes. With a single or dual-sided ID card printer you can print photo ID cards on demand. See our ID card printer guide.

Can one card be used for attendance and doors?

Yes. Proximity or MIFARE cards can be used for attendance terminals and door access readers at the same time.

Do you support schools with several campuses?

Yes. Network-connected devices at each campus report to one Synktime attendance software system.

Do you offer a demo for schools?

Yes. Book a free demo and we'll show you staff attendance, student attendance and ID card printing.
