06Frequently asked questions

What is the most important question?

Who installs, trains and supports it. A good terminal badly installed disappoints.

Should I buy the cheapest?

Cheap is fine if it fits your staff and has support.

How many staff can one terminal hold?

Models hold from hundreds to several thousand fingerprints or faces. We pick the size from your headcount on the survey.

Can staff cheat it?

A fingerprint or face belongs to one person, so nobody can clock in for a friend the way they can on paper.
