Types of attendance devices and their differences
In the previous article, we fully explained the difference between attendance and absence with a mobile phone and attendance and absence with an attendance device.
These attendance devices are important tools in time management and employee attendance in organizations. Using different technologies, these devices provide high accuracy and security in registering the entry and exit of employees.
In the following, we will introduce the types of attendance devices and their differences:

1-Card reader devices (RFID)
These devices use magnetic or smart cards (RFID) to record attendance.
Advantages of card reader devices (RFID) Disadvantages of card reader devices (RFID)
Simple and affordable, lower security
Easy application requires a card

These devices are relatively cheap and easy to use. Employees register their entry and exit by swiping or bringing the card close to the device. But there is a possibility that the cards are lost or stolen and the possibility of fraud is higher. Employees must always carry their card with them.

2-Fingerprint devices
These devices use fingerprint scanning to identify and record attendance.

Advantages of fingerprint devices Disadvantages of fingerprint devices
High security technical problems
No need to maintain a card or code

The use of fingerprints as a biometric feature provides high accuracy and security, and employees register their presence and absence just by placing their finger on the device. But fingerprints may not be recognized correctly in some cases, especially if the fingers are dirty or damaged and the devices require regular maintenance and cleaning.

1. Facial recognition devices
These devices use facial recognition technology to record the entry and exit of employees.

Advantages of facial recognition devices. Disadvantages of facial recognition devices
No physical contact high cost
High security requires proper light conditions

These devices work without the need for physical contact, which is better in terms of hygiene, and facial recognition is an advanced biometric method that is very difficult to cheat. Despite these advantages, these devices are usually more expensive than other types of devices. And for accurate face recognition, proper lighting conditions are required.

2. Iris devices
These devices use iris scanning to identify and register presence and absence.

Advantages of eye iris devices Disadvantages of eye iris devices
High accuracy and security, high cost
No need to contact special conditions

Iris scanning is one of the most accurate and secure biometric identification methods, and like facial recognition, this method also works without the need for physical contact. Iris devices are also very expensive, and for accurate identification, the device must be in a suitable light condition and distance. .

3. PIN devices
These devices use a PIN to register attendance.

These devices are relatively cheap and simple, requiring only one code to be entered, but there is a possibility of forgetting the password or sharing it with others, which can reduce security, and employees must manually enter the password, which may It is time consuming.

Advantages of PIN devices Disadvantages of PIN devices
Simple and affordable, lower security
No need for special equipment, no need for manual entry

Final summary
Biometric devices such as fingerprint, face and iris recognition offer higher accuracy and security, but they cost more. In contrast, card reader and password devices are less expensive but provide less security. By considering these differences, organizations can choose the best attendance device for their needs.
Time and attendance devices use biometric technologies or RFID cards to physically record the entry and exit of employees at the workplace and have high security, but are costly and require maintenance.
And mobile attendance uses mobile phone applications and GPS to record the entry and exit of employees from any location, is more flexible and cost-effective, but less secure and accurate than biometric devices.

Frequently asked questions about the difference between mobile attendance and attendance device
1. How does the accuracy and security in registering attendance and absence in biometric devices compare with mobile applications?
Answer: Biometric attendance devices use technologies such as fingerprint, face and iris recognition that provide high accuracy and security in employee identification and minimize fraud.
 On the other hand, mobile applications can also use face and fingerprint recognition technologies, but their accuracy depends on the accuracy of the mobile device and lighting conditions. Also, the security of mobile applications depends on the security capabilities of the mobile device, such as two-step authentication and data encryption.

2. How are the costs associated with using attendance devices and mobile attendance applications different?
A: Attendance devices usually have higher initial costs to purchase and install, and also require regular maintenance and servicing, which can add additional costs.
On the other hand, mobile attendance applications usually have lower costs because they do not require special physical equipment and only include the costs of software development, maintenance, and updates. In addition, the costs associated with Internet services and support should also be considered
