Access control

Work attendance control 
OnlineCameraShop, wholesale distributor of all types of attendance control, offers a wide catalog of terminals for employee time control. Within our brands you can choose between clock machines with fingerprint reader, card, PIN code or even facial recognition. 

Since the publication of Royal Legislative Decree 8/2019, it is mandatory for all companies to implement attendance control systems so that their employees can clock in and out of the company or business. In this way, an attempt is made to combat job insecurity at work, for example as a result of the amount of overtime that employees work and are not paid. Furthermore, this will significantly reduce the fraud that exists when it comes to non-payment of overtime.

These types of devices are of great help to the human resources department. These terminals allow them to monitor and manage the working day of each employee in the simplest and most organized way. These terminals also allow you to check entry and exit times, overtime, incidents, delays, doctor visits, absences, holidays, etc.

In addition, depending on the needs of each company, we have presence control terminals that allow you to log in using biometric readers, read Mifare or RFID cards or with a keyboard for entering passwords and/or combinations.

In our catalog you will also find access and presence controls, for when, in addition to registering the day, you need or do not authorize the opening of doors, garages or turnstiles for certain people at certain times.

Attendance Checking Brands 
Some of the best-known workplace attendance checking brands that we offer offer quite complete free software, such as Safire, Anviz and Hysoon. These adapt perfectly to the needs of small and medium-sized companies that simply want to register the inflow and outflow of their employees in the simplest possible way, while respecting regulations. In addition, ZKTeco SmallBusiness and Enterprise software with a multitude of presence functionalities is available for demanding installations. 

On the other hand, for other types of businesses that require terminals that enable mobile clocking, it will be necessary to purchase workplace attendance control software at an affordable monthly cost, such as the EasyClocking platform. This type of software allows you to manage the logins remotely through the mobile APP, so you can log in from your PC or from the biometric attendance terminal.

Types of work attendance control cards
This type of attendance controls allows clocking in through the use of radio frequency cards, which can be of different technologies: EM, Mifare, Desfire on frequencies of 125 KHz and 13.56 MHz. In addition, in this type of terminal you can select different registration statuses, such as entry, departure, overtime or rest.
Biometric terminal: in this case, signatures can be performed using biometric technology, the most common of which is the fingerprint, although registrations using facial recognition, palm or iris recognition are becoming more common over time. In addition, these types of biometric devices can read cards and are usually connected via USB or IP to control users, schedules, etc.
Cloud systems: It is becoming increasingly common to find cloud services that enable attendance control. This allows employees to clock in from a computer or smartphone. Geolocation and security photos can be added to these types of documents and they are also fully compatible with mapping devices and biometric terminals.

When choosing between one system and another, we will have to take into account several factors, such as cost, the level of security required and the type of installation desired. Currently, logging in with cards is the cheapest, but it is more uncertain than the rest that we have presented, because the cards can be exchanged or abandoned and would therefore facilitate possible fraud or deception. 

This is why biometrics is starting to gain ground compared to the rest of the attendance control systems, it also has increasingly competitive prices and is one of the systems that offers more security in the registration procedure. 

As for cloud systems, they offer great flexibility in recording schedules and are most effective in enabling registration for certain types of employees, such as salespeople, carriers or companies with different headquarters. Even small and medium-sized companies implement it because of its ease of use and operation for employees, in addition to its ease of management by the departments responsible for it.

In summary, each business, store or enterprise will need to decide which type of system or attendance control best suits their needs and budget. This will also depend on the configuration required for the software to meet the company's timekeeping expectations. 

If you are still in doubt about which type of attendance control to choose, we leave you with this course in which we talk about the new legislation, show our brands and delve deeper into attendance control software.
