5.2 Clocking In/Out Methods

Figure 2: Multiple clock-in options including RFID and PIN codes.

Figure 3: Smartcard compatibility and hands-free Face ID recognition.
- Face ID Recognition: Employees stand in front of the device. The dual camera with 3D technology will scan their face. Upon successful recognition, the device will confirm the clock-in/out. This method is hands-free and secure.
- RFID Badge/Key Fob: Employees hold their personal RFID badge or key fob near the designated RFID reader area on the device. The device will register the clock-in/out.
- PIN-kode: Employees enter their unique 4-8 digit PIN code using the keypad on the device.
- Existing Smartcard Systems: The device is compatible with existing contactless smart card systems operating on a 13.56 MHz frequency and using ISO/IEC 14443A protocol. Employees can use their existing access cards to clock in/out.
The intelligent clocking system prevents accidental double clock-ins/outs.
5.3 Project Tracking
For project-based time tracking:
- After initiating a clock-in, employees can select a specific project or project code from the device menu.
- Optionally, they can add a comment related to the project.
- Confirm the entry to associate the work time with the selected project.
5.4 Offline Data Storage
In case of a lost network connection, the device securely stores up to 100,000 clocking records locally. Once the connection is restored, all stored data will automatically synchronize with the TimeMoto Cloud.
