TimeCap and face recognition

TimeCap™, time attendance system has facial recognition biometric ability which when used can have a dramatic effect on reducing buddy punching, without having to resort to cards or RF devices that could be loaned out or lost. Cards and devices can go wrong or wear out, if that happens the employee has a real problem booking in which can cause a nightmare when it comes to working out the employee hours.

When an employee books on with a PIN number the face is captured and compared against faces stored for that employee, if there is a failure the system books the person on but keeps a record of 'failed' faces for review by the administrator of the TimeCap™ machine, where approbate action can be taken.

The main advantage of a facial recognition biometrics over other biometric system (such as fingerprint or retina) is that it's easy to confirm if it really is the person from the snapshot or an irregularity has occurred and the possibility of identifying the guilty party.
