Office · Access Control & Time Attendance

Secure entry, automatic attendance

Ottica AI replaces cards and manual clock-ins with frictionless face-based access. Doors open for the right people and timesheets keep themselves — all processed securely on-site.

Access Control & Time Attendance
On-premise
The challenge

Cards get shared, logs get fudged

Access cards are lost, lent and tailgated, while manual clock-ins and paper sign-in sheets produce inaccurate records and recurring payroll disputes. Every misplaced credential is a security gap, and every rounded or estimated timesheet is a cost. Reconciling who was actually on-site, and when, becomes a manual chore that nobody enjoys.

Credentials are easy to misuse

Cards and fobs can be shared or cloned, letting unauthorised people through doors that should be secure.

Manual timekeeping is error-prone

Hand-written sign-ins and buddy-punching create inaccurate records that flow straight through to payroll.

Reconciliation eats time

Matching attendance to access events by hand is slow and frustrating for HR and operations teams.

Capabilities

One face, two jobs done

Access control and time attendance from a single, on-premise system.

01

Automated time attendance

Capture accurate arrival and departure times automatically, eliminating manual clock-ins and reducing payroll errors.

02

Permission-based access control

Grant or deny entry by role and permission level, and keep unauthorised individuals out of sensitive areas.

03

Frictionless, touchless entry

Staff are recognised as they approach, so there is no card to present, no PIN to remember and no queue at the door.

04

Local, secure processing

All facial matching happens on-premise. Employee biometric data stays within your building and is never sent to the cloud.

05

Accurate, auditable records

Reliable attendance data reduces disputes and gives HR a clean, defensible record of who was on-site and when.

06

Smart cameras at every door

Ottica supplies smart cameras and on-site hardware for your entry points, engineered to run access control and attendance as one integrated system.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Only enrolled staff are recognised, and enrolment is designed to be consent-based. Individuals who are not enrolled are not identified by the system.

Entirely on-premise, on a local server within your building. No biometric data is sent to the cloud, and records are deleted automatically after your configured retention period.

Because attendance is captured automatically and tied to verified identity, it removes manual clock-in errors and buddy-punching, producing accurate records that reduce payroll disputes.

Yes. Access is permission-based, so you can grant or restrict entry to specific zones by role, keeping sensitive areas limited to authorised staff.
