Attendance you can verify, not just trust.
Time clocks record a badge; cameras record a person. Attendance monitoring compares what the schedule says against what the cameras show — late openings, early departures, buddy punching, unscheduled visitors — and reports exceptions, not every minute.
Exceptions against your roster.
You share the schedule; we watch the entrances and key work areas at the scheduled times. The report lists exceptions: a 20-minute late opening, a shift with one person instead of two, an unscheduled person behind the counter. Normal days produce a one-line confirmation.
- Opening and closing staff confirmed on camera against the roster
- Late arrivals, early departures and missed shifts flagged
- Unscheduled or unknown persons in staff areas noted
- Weekly attendance summary by location and shift
- Observations only — no facial recognition, no private areas

Where it is used
Retail & convenience
Opening on time matters when the first customers are at the door at 7 a.m.
Plants & warehouses
Shift coverage on the floor and at the dock, confirmed without walking the building.
Multi-site operators
One daily exception report across every location instead of a call to each manager.
Set up with your roster and your rules.
We agree which entrances and areas count, how late is “late”, and who receives the report. Operators observe at the scheduled times and on exceptions; the rest of the day is not watched unless you also have security monitoring.
About employee attendance monitoring
Workplace camera monitoring of non-private areas is lawful with notice to employees. We provide an employee monitoring notice template and never monitor restrooms, changing rooms or break areas designated private.
No. Operators match people to the roster by schedule and position, not by biometric recognition.
No — it verifies and complements it. Payroll remains based on your own system.
