Cards get shared
When a colleague swipes someone else's card, the record stops reflecting reality. Cards get forgotten, lost and lent out — a face cannot be.
Time and attendance tracking
No cards, no fingerprints. A worker looks at the tablet and the shift is logged.
idarely turns a standard Android tablet mounted at your entrance into an attendance terminal. Face recognition and liveness detection run on the device's own processor; entries and exits flow into your management panel.
- Recognition runs on the device
- Raw face images are never stored
- Works without internet
Liveness verified

Where attendance tracking breaks down
Badge readers and paper sign-in sheets fail hardest on the busiest shift.
Dedicated terminals are expensive
Buying, wiring and maintaining a purpose-built attendance device for every door adds up. idarely runs on a standard Android tablet.
Records are scattered
Clock-in times spread across notebooks, spreadsheets and chat messages turn into arguments at the end of the month. There is no single source of truth.
QR codes get shared
QR check-in is everywhere, but the code travels in a screenshot and location-spoofing apps put the phone “at work”. A face cannot be shared, and the record comes from a tablet fixed at the door, not from a phone.
Attendance in four steps
All biometric processing finishes inside the tablet; only the event itself reaches the management panel.
The worker looks at the tablet
The mounted tablet detects the face and checks image quality. No touching, no card to swipe, no app to open.
Liveness is verified
Is this a real person, or a photo or video held up on a phone? The liveness check always runs BEFORE identity matching; if it fails, the process stops right there.
Identity is matched on the device
The face is converted into an irreversible mathematical template and compared against the tablet's encrypted local list. Whether it is an entry or an exit is decided from the person's last movement.
The event reaches your panel
The record syncs to your management panel. With no connection it waits on the tablet and is sent automatically, without duplicates, once the internet returns.
idarely is a time and attendance product — it does not control doors, locks or turnstiles.
Key features
Attendance infrastructure built to work on site, without depending on a connection.
Biometrics stay on the device
Face recognition and liveness detection run on the tablet's own processor. No cloud face recognition service is used.
Passive liveness detection
Protection against photos and videos shown on a screen. Workers do not need to blink or turn their head.
Fully functional offline
The tablet keeps working when the connection drops. Events queue on the device and are delivered without duplicates once it is back.
Encrypted server backup
Face templates are backed up encrypted on the server. If a tablet breaks or is factory reset, you do not have to enroll every worker again.
Shifts and tolerances
Overnight shifts, working days, entry and exit tolerances — every company configures its own rules.
Reports and Excel export
Expected days, days present, absences, late arrivals and average delay. Exported to an Excel file in one click.
Multi-company by design
One installation, fully isolated companies. Each company's workers, shifts and reports are visible only to that company.
Clock tampering protection
Event times are anchored to the server clock. If a tablet's clock has been tampered with, the record is flagged as suspicious in the panel.
How biometric data is protected
Face recognition is sensitive. idarely's data design started from that assumption.
Processing biometric data carries specific legal obligations in most countries. Check the regulations where you operate before rolling out.
- No photos are storedRaw face images are never recorded at any stage and are never sent to the server.
- Irreversible templateOnly a mathematical vector is derived from the face; a photo cannot be reconstructed from that vector.
- Encrypted storageTemplates sit in an encrypted database on the tablet and are encrypted at the application layer on the server.
- Revocable accessEvery tablet has its own access key; a lost or replaced device can be cut off instantly from the panel.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask most before rolling out.
Are our face photos kept on the server?
No. Raw face images are stored neither on the tablet nor on the server. Only an irreversible mathematical template is kept, and that template is encrypted both on the device and on the server.
Do we lose attendance records if the internet goes down?
No. The tablet is fully functional offline; recognition and logging happen on the device itself. Events queue on the device and are sent automatically, without creating duplicates, once the connection returns.
Can it be fooled with a photo or a video?
The system includes passive liveness detection that runs before identity matching, so photos and videos shown on a phone are rejected. The liveness threshold can be tuned per company. No system is perfect: idarely does not hold an independent liveness certification (iBeta, ISO/IEC 30107-3).
Do we need to buy special hardware?
No. A standard Android tablet with a front camera is enough. No dedicated attendance terminal, card reader or special wiring is required.
What happens if the tablet breaks or is reset?
Face templates are backed up encrypted on the server. Install the app on the new tablet, enter the terminal access key, and the records are restored — you do not need to enroll workers again.
Does it open doors or turnstiles?
No. idarely does time and attendance tracking; it does not control door, lock or turnstile hardware. Door release is out of scope for the product.
Can I manage multiple companies from one installation?
Yes. The platform is multi-tenant: each company manages its own workers, shifts and reports, and data is isolated between companies. The panel and the tablet are available in Turkish, Azerbaijani and English.
How is this different from QR code check-in?
QR check-in is quick to set up but has two holes: the code can be passed around as a screenshot, and a location-spoofing app can make a phone look like it is at the workplace. With idarely what gets read is a face, not a code, and the liveness check rejects photos and videos before any identity matching. The record comes from a specific tablet mounted at the door rather than the worker's phone, so there is no client to spoof. Note: idarely does NOT use GPS or location tracking — verification happens on the device itself, which is fixed in place.
