Biometric Attendance System for Security Companies: illustration
Quick answer

Prove your guards were on post, to your clients. A biometric attendance system (also called a fingerprint attendance machine or time attendance system) records who arrived, and when, with their own finger or face. For security companies, that means proof of attendance for each post, and clients see reliable reports.

02Why it matters

ImportantA security company sells reliability. Clients ask whether guards were really on post. A terminal at each post answers with a record, not a promise. Qyvea supplies and installs the terminals; it does not provide guards.

07Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for remote posts?

Yes. Terminals with battery and mobile data can report from remote posts.

Does Qyvea provide guards?

No. Qyvea supplies and installs attendance terminals and trains your team. Guard services are provided by your own company.

Can clients see the reports?

Reports can be exported and shared as you choose.

What is a time attendance system?

It is a terminal at the door plus software. Staff scan a finger, face or card, the terminal records who arrived and when, and the software totals hours, lateness and overtime for payroll.

Can a terminal stop buddy punching?

Yes. A finger or face belongs to one person, so nobody can clock in for a friend the way they can with a card, a PIN or a paper register.

How long does installation take?

One terminal is usually a few hours: mount, power, network, enrol staff and test. Larger sites take longer.

Do you deliver outside Nairobi?

Yes. We deliver countrywide and survey Nairobi and the surrounding counties for free.
