What is a Facial Recognition Time Clock? 

A facial recognition time clock is a hardware clock that tracks employee time, identifying the employee by their facial features. The employee stands in front of the clock and faces the scanner. The time clock identifies the employee by scanning their face and measuring key landmarks between facial features. When the employee’s identity is authenticated, the time clock records their clock in/out for the shift.  (Please note that the system DOES NOT store an image of the employee’s face.)

What are the advantages of a facial recognition clock?

• Speed – These clocks identify an employee within 1-2 seconds.  This means less waiting to clock in/out for an employee, which is quite beneficial when multiple employees are clocking in/out at the same time.
• Accuracy – Identifies faces with 99.9% accuracy
• Environment – Regardless of your work environment, these clocks WILL recognize your employees to ensure proper timekeeping.  No hands to wash or gloves to remove, these clocks are not affected by dirty work conditions.
• No buddy punching – With facial recognition clocks, there is no way for a coworker to clock in another employee like they could with their PIN, FOB or badge.

Is it better than a fingerprint scanner clock?

In work environments where employees are working with their hands and become dirty, fingerprint scanners can oftentimes become unreliable.  No matter how dirty an employees fingers or face may be, a facial recognition clock will record a clock in/out since it’s based on an algorithm of their facial features.
