All Smart Security
AI-driven security and attendance infrastructure that sees, verifies, and responds in real time.
ExploreFace Recognition-Based Attendance
Contactless face recognition attendance for events and workplaces — sub-second verification, anti-spoofing, and audit-ready records.
Transform attendance from queues into seamless walk-throughs. ZebIQ's contactless face recognition systems verify identity in under a second—no cards to forget, no badges to share, no surfaces to touch. Deploy across events and workplaces with active liveness detection that defeats spoofing, consent-first privacy design, and audit-ready records that integrate with HR and compliance systems.
Why Face Recognition Attendance Matters
Manual attendance creates friction, invites fraud, and scales poorly. Face recognition removes the human bottleneck:
- No queuing. People walk through at normal pace; identity is confirmed in real time.
- No buddy punching. One-to-one or one-to-many verification with encrypted templates prevents proxy marking.
- Built-in audit trails. Every entry is timestamped, location-tagged, and exportable to HR, payroll, and compliance systems.
- Privacy by design. Explicit consent, encrypted storage, defined retention, and a non-biometric fallback lane for everyone.
Core Capabilities
Sub-Second Verification
Identity confirmed as people approach at walking pace, sustaining high throughput without queues or congestion.
Active Liveness & Anti-Spoofing
Photo, video, and mask presentation attacks are detected and rejected. Liveness checks analyse depth and response cues that static images cannot reproduce.
Consent-First Enrolment
Explicit opt-in at event registration or HR onboarding. Non-biometric fallback lanes ensure no one is locked out.
Encrypted Template Storage
Biometric data stored as encrypted mathematical templates, not photos. Role-restricted access, defined retention, and scheduled deletion.
Audit-Ready Integration
Timestamped, location-tagged attendance logs that export to HR systems, payroll, event platforms, and compliance reporting.
Privacy and Consent Built In
Face recognition can feel invasive if deployed carelessly. We embed consent and data protection from the design phase:
Policy & Privacy Alignment. We define consent flow, retention policy, fallback lanes, and verification mode with your legal and security teams before deployment.
No Photo Gallery. Faces are converted to encrypted mathematical templates. The system does not store or browse face photographs.
Explicit Opt-In. Every participant or employee consents during enrolment. Declining biometrics triggers the fallback lane—they check in via QR, card, or staffed verification instead.
Audit and Purge. Access is logged and role-restricted. Data is purged on your defined schedule, typically immediately after an event concludes.
Deployment Workflow
1. Policy & Privacy Design
Define consent flow, retention policy, fallback lanes, and verification mode (one-to-one or one-to-many) with legal and security stakeholders.
2. Enrolment Integration
Enrolment is woven into event registration or HR onboarding, with quality checks ensuring reliable facial templates.
3. Hardware Setup & Calibration
Cameras and edge devices are installed at entry points and calibrated for site lighting, angles, and natural walking paths.
4. Live Operation & Reporting
The system runs with real-time dashboards, exception handling, and scheduled attendance reports delivered to your chosen platforms.
Proven Use Cases
Conferences & Summits Delegates enrolled at registration walk straight into sessions. Per-session attendance is accurate for organisers, and CPD records are automatically generated.
Corporate Workforce Attendance Contactless daily attendance across offices and plants eliminates proxy punching and feeds payroll automatically.
Educational Institutions & Exams Verified candidate identity at examination entry and automated classroom attendance with full audit trails for institutional compliance.
Contactless attendance systems that combine speed, security, and privacy aren't just convenience—they're essential for modern events and workplaces where trust, efficiency, and compliance all matter.
Common Questions
What happens if someone declines to use face recognition?
A fallback lane is part of every deployment. Attendees or employees who decline biometrics check in via QR code, card, or staffed verification instead. Consent is explicit at enrolment, and declining never blocks legitimate entry.
Can the system be fooled by a photo or video?
No. Active liveness detection analyses depth and response cues that flat images and screens cannot reproduce, rejecting photo, video, and mask presentation attacks. Anti-spoofing performance is validated during acceptance testing.
How is biometric data stored and who accesses it?
Faces are converted to encrypted mathematical templates—the system does not keep a browsable photo gallery. Access is role-restricted and logged, retention and deletion policies are agreed before go-live, and data is purged on the defined schedule.
Does face recognition work with glasses, in poor lighting, or at walking speed?
Yes. Modern deep-learning models perform reliably across lighting conditions, with accessories like glasses, and at the walking speeds real entrances demand. Calibration during hardware setup optimises for your specific site conditions.
Can I use one-to-one verification instead of one-to-many?
Absolutely. For privacy-sensitive deployments, the system can run in one-to-one mode, verifying identity against a presented credential rather than searching a database. This is configured during the policy-design phase.
