ID card check-in
Scan student ID cards, no phones needed
For schools and coaching centres where students don’t carry phones. A staff member opens the check-in station on any laptop or desktop, and students show the QR on their ID card to the webcam or a USB / Bluetooth barcode scanner.
See it in action
ID card check-in, day to day
Each scan marks the student present and shows their photo, name and class so the operator can check the face. When check-in ends, everyone who didn’t scan is marked absent in one step.

What you get
Everything inside ID card check-in
Photo on every scan
The student’s photo appears large on screen, so a borrowed card is easy to spot.
Lost cards stop working
Cancelled or expired cards are rejected, and a reissued card works straight away.
Works through Wi-Fi drops
Scans are kept on the device with their real time and sent when the connection returns.
One attendance record
Card scans and teachers’ corrections land in the same daily attendance; a later teacher mark always wins.
