IoT based smart attendance system using Fingerprint sensor

Abstract

      Attendance systems are commonly used in schools, colleges and offices etc. Manual attendance method only used in many places. It is quite boring and it takes much time for the staffs and they needs to take care of their records for long time. So we have developed a project on IoT based smart attendance system using Fingerprint sensor. By using finger print sensor, we can authenticate a person. First we need to enroll , all the information like student ID , class etc ,after pressing the fingerprint sensor. When student press a fingerprint sensor, it automatically stores the information in a IoT cloud . So the staffs can access these data’s at any time. Here we are using IFTTT, to store the students data’s. If unauthorized persons touch the senor, it will not taken as a valid ID.

Proposed system

• In this project, we are using fingerprint sensor to authenticate a person.
• The data’s of the each person will be stored in IoT cloud using NodeMCU ESP8266
• The users can access these data’s anywhere from the world using network connection.
