Wi-Fi Based Smart Attendance Monitoring System

Abstract

The attendance monitoring system provides a convenient way to track the presence of faculty members. In the past, faculty attendance was marked using traditional methods under the supervision of higher authorities such as the principal or department head. However, these methods were often outdated and prone to errors, leading to discrepancies in attendance records over the years. To address these issues, a new system was implemented using modern technology, specifically finger-punching and face recognition. This system replaced the old record books and other outdated methods, offering a more efficient and accurate way to manage faculty attendance. Additionally, a mobile application is developed for faculty or staff members to mark their attendance using their smartphones. This application utilizes Wi-Fi and location services to record attendance on campus. The recorded attendance data is securely stored in a database, allowing the administrator or main authority to access and modify the records as needed. This integrated system not only simplifies the attendance process but also ensures data integrity and provides real-time monitoring capabilities.
