Smarter Staff Attendance & Campus Access

Teachers, admin teams and support staff work across different schedules, buildings and campuses. Timetera brings attendance, access control and reporting into one connected cloud system.

AI + Access

Attendance & door control
 

Timetera helps education institutions manage staff attendance and campus access from one system. AI face recognition terminals can verify teachers and employees at entrances, selected devices can support door access, and Timetera Cloud brings attendance from multiple devices or campuses into one real-time dashboard for HR and management.

Why school attendance management gets complicated

Education teams rarely follow one simple 9-to-5 pattern. Different staff groups, campuses and restricted areas create gaps that spreadsheets and standalone devices struggle to manage.

 
 

Different schedules for different staff

Teachers, administrators, cleaners, guards and part-time staff may all follow different start times, breaks and working days.

Attendance spread across buildings

Staff may enter through different blocks, offices or campus gates, making one fixed clock-in point inconvenient.

Manual lateness and overtime checks

HR loses time reconciling late arrivals, early departures, overtime and missing punches from separate records.

Restricted rooms need controlled access

Admin offices, staff rooms, labs, IT rooms and storage areas may need tighter access than public learning spaces.

Multiple campuses create data silos

When every branch runs its own attendance process, HQ has to wait for reports before seeing the full picture.

Payroll depends on clean attendance data

Manual re-entry and calculation increase the chance of errors before staff attendance reaches payroll.

TIMETERA FACE RECOGNITION

What Timetera solves for education institutions

A single system can cover staff attendance, multi-campus visibility, shift rules and controlled access without turning HR into a manual reporting hub.

 

Contactless face recognition

Verify staff quickly without shared punch cards or manual sign-in books, with supported AI models designed for low-light recognition and mask detection.

One dashboard for multiple campuses

Link devices from different branches or campuses back to one cloud account for central visibility.

Flexible shift management

Configure fixed or flexible schedules, breaks and overtime rules for different staff categories.

Attendance plus door access

Use supported terminals to record attendance and control entry to authorised rooms or staff-only areas.

Real-time attendance monitoring

HR and management can view clock-in and clock-out records live from a PC or mobile browser.

Payroll-ready exports

Move attendance data into payroll workflows with supported exports and integration options instead of retyping timesheets.

One system across the campus

Apply different verification and access rules depending on where staff are entering and what the area is used for.

STAFF ENTRY

Main staff entrance

Fast daily clock-in for teachers, admin and support teams using face recognition or other supported verification methods.

Attendance + identity verification

RESTRICTED AREA

Admin & staff offices

Use attendance-enabled access control to limit selected doors to authorised employees.

Staff-only door access

HQ / SECOND CAMPUS

Central cloud dashboard

Connect additional devices to the same cloud system so HQ can review attendance without manual branch consolidation.

All campuses → One account → Central reporting
