4 Ways Schools Can Mark Daily Student & Staff Attendance
Combine any combination of mobile face AI, RFID turnstiles, QR scans, and teacher roll calls across your school.
Mobile Face Recognition (AI Camera)
Use standard Android tablets or smartphones at school gates, reception, or classrooms. High-speed AI matching recognizes students and staff in under 0.5 seconds with zero touch.
- Runs on any budget tablet or phone
- Sub-second face matching speed
- Hygienic touch-free verification
Third-Party Biometric Machine & Turnstile Sync
Direct cloud and local push API integration for all major hardware manufacturers (eSSL, ZKTeco, Hikvision, Matrix). Connects seamlessly with turnstiles, flap barriers, and fingerprint readers.
- eSSL, ZKTeco & Hikvision ready
- Tripod turnstiles & flap barrier support
- Protects existing hardware investments
Secure Dynamic QR Code Scanning
Scan physical student ID cards, dynamic parent pickup badges, or staff digital ID cards using any mobile phone camera. Built-in tamper-proof timestamps prevent proxy attendance.
- Instant student ID card scanning
- Dynamic QR prevents proxy attendance
- Ideal for buses and event entries
30-Second Class Teacher Roll Call
Class teachers mark absent and late students in a single tap during morning assembly or 1st period. A full classroom of 40 students is completed in under 30 seconds with instant parent alerts.
- 1-tap absent toggle per student
- Subject & period-wise tracking
- Approved leave syncs automatically

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding mobile face AI, 3rd-party hardware integration (eSSL, ZKTeco), and school roll calls.
Does Classegy work with our school’s existing biometric machines like eSSL, ZKTeco, or Matrix?
Yes. Classegy includes native push APIs and cloud connectors that integrate directly with all leading biometric and RFID hardware brands (including eSSL, ZKTeco, Hikvision, Matrix, Mantra, and Realtime). You can continue using your existing gate turnstiles and wall machines without buying new hardware.
How does the hardware-free mobile face recognition attendance work?
If you do not want to purchase or maintain dedicated biometric machines, you can simply install the Classegy Mobile App on standard Android tablets or smartphones. The app uses on-device camera AI to detect and verify student or staff faces in under 0.5 seconds at the gate or in classrooms.
Can schools use both mobile attendance and third-party biometric hardware together?
Yes. Classegy supports a hybrid setup. For example, your school can use existing biometric turnstiles at the main gate for senior students, tablets for kindergarten entrance, and class teacher mobile roll calls for daily period tracking—all synchronizing to one unified attendance register.
How does Classegy reduce infrastructure costs compared to standalone hardware?
Traditional biometric wall devices cost ₹15,000 to ₹40,000 per unit plus AMC contracts, LAN cabling, and inverter backup. Classegy’s mobile solution allows schools to use standard tablets that are also used for library checkouts, bus boarding, and lab activities, reducing both capital and maintenance expenses.
How fast do parents receive absence alerts when attendance is recorded?
As soon as morning roll call closes or a gate scan is processed, automated SMS, WhatsApp, and push notifications are instantly dispatched to parents within 2 minutes of morning assembly.
How is student biometric data kept private and secure?
Classegy does not store raw unprotected facial images on unsecured local chips. Biometric data is converted into encrypted mathematical vectors stored securely with institution-level access control, meeting international data protection standards.
Can staff and teachers mark attendance using geofencing on their own phones?
Yes. Staff members can use the Classegy Employee Self-Service (ESS) mobile app to punch in using face verification or 1-tap check-in, validated within an administrator-defined GPS campus boundary (geofence).
