Time & Attendance

Time and attendance machines in Egypt

Attendance terminals replace paper sign-in sheets with a record nobody can complete on a colleague's behalf. For payroll, the value is an exportable log that matches hours actually worked.

The ZKTeco range is stocked, covering fingerprint, facial recognition, card and combined access-control terminals.

Choosing a terminal

• Fingerprint — lowest cost per user, but struggles with worn or damp fingers in manual trades.
• Facial recognition — contactless and faster at shift changes; needs consistent lighting.
• Card and proximity — quickest to enrol, though cards can be shared.
• Access control — models such as the MB2000 also drive a door lock, combining attendance with entry.

Consider user capacity and how the data reaches payroll — USB export, LAN or software integration. Priced in EGP with setup support.
