4. Communication

Biometric system should be able to interact with other platforms such as attendance and payroll software via Internet or Wi-Fi. In addition, USB connectivity will enhance manual data transfer to computer or external storage devices incase you want data backup.

5. Precision

Make sure the biometric devices are durable and able to function in harsh environmental conditions specifically for outdoor installations.Advanced fingerprint technology such as Silk ID Sensor and 3D Neuron Fingerprint Algorithm will ensure accurate user identification even with wet, dry or rough fingers as well as with extreme light source.

6. Wide Pose Angle Tolerance

Certain biometric systems often fail to recognition individuals despite multiple attempts; this can be extremely stressful especially at the peak of office hours. Hence, look for devices that accept user-identification at a wide range of angles and distances.

7. Battery Backup

Biometric devices function based on two types of power supply via wired or wireless. Wired devices rely on direct power supply, whereas wireless devices consist of an internal battery. Regardless of the type, it is better to have a secondary battery backup for seamless performance even during power outage.

8. Easy Integration

Ultimately all the biometric attendance data need to be processed for payroll management. Hence, it is crucial to look for devices that can be easily integrated into payroll or time attendance software for effortless payroll calculations.
