The old way is broken.
Walk into almost any mid-sized Indian office and you'll still find a biometric fingerprint scanner at the door, a visitor register on the front desk, and a CCTV camera that records everything but prevents nothing. Attendify, built by Bengaluru-based Techkshetra Info Solutions, was designed to fix exactly this — by turning passive surveillance hardware into an active, intelligent entry control layer.

What Attendify actually does
At its core, Attendify is a face recognition attendance system that runs on your existing IP cameras — no new hardware required (beyond an edge device). The moment someone walks through a door, the system scans their face, matches it against an authorised roster, and automatically logs their attendance and access event. The whole loop — scan, verify, log, alert — happens on-premises, in real time.
Crucially, none of this requires an internet connection once set up. The AI model runs locally on an edge device inside your building. This is a significant differentiator in a country where network reliability is still inconsistent across industrial campuses, hospitals, and tier-2 cities.
"Security begins when every entry is verified and controlled. Seeing is not securing."
Core features worth knowing
Edge AI processing
All biometric data stays inside your premises. No cloud upload, no third-party data exposure.
Mask & glasses-aware
Advanced models recognise faces with masks, glasses, or angled profiles — up to 99% accuracy.
Offline operation
Works without internet. Attendance records are still captured during network outages.
Real-time alerts
Security teams get instant dashboard or device alerts when an unknown person attempts entry.
Touchless walkthrough
Employees walk through entry points without pausing — no tap, swipe, or touch required.
HRMS & ERP integration
API-ready architecture connects to payroll, access control, and enterprise systems.
Who is this built for?
Attendify targets four main verticals with distinct configurations for each.
Corporate IT parks
Walk-through group recognition during peak hours eliminates morning queues and manual check-ins.
Manufacturing plants
Shift-wise workforce tracking and zone-based access control for production floors.
Hospitals
Attendance mapped to rotating medical shifts; controlled access to ICUs and labs.
Educational campuses
Automated faculty attendance plus exam hall identity verification to prevent impersonation.
The privacy angle — and why it matters
India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 places new obligations on organisations that process biometric data. Attendify's on-premise, edge-only architecture is explicitly positioned as DPDP-compliant — because facial data never leaves the building. That's a legitimate selling point for HR and legal teams wrestling with new compliance requirements.
That said, any biometric attendance system still requires meaningful employee consent and transparent communication. The technology handling the data is only part of the compliance story — the organisational policies around it matter just as much.
What sets it apart from competitors?
Most cloud-based attendance platforms (from Darwinbox's biometric plugins to standalone kiosk vendors) push facial data to remote servers for processing. Attendify's edge-first design inverts that model. The trade-off is a more hardware-involved deployment, but the payoff is data sovereignty, lower latency, and operation during internet outages.
The "turn your existing CCTV into AI" pitch is also genuinely useful. Organisations that have already invested in IP camera infrastructure can extend that investment rather than rip and replace.
