06Frequently asked questions

Can the same terminal do both?

Many terminals handle attendance and door access together.

Is it more expensive?

Often less than two separate systems.

Fingerprint or face recognition: which is better?

Both are accurate on good terminals. Fingerprint suits most offices and is familiar. Face suits gloves, hygiene areas and fast flows. Many terminals offer both, plus cards as a backup.

How much does a time attendance terminal cost?

It depends on the terminal type, the number of staff and the software. See our biometrics page; we quote after a free survey.
