Iris vs Face vs Fingerprint for Attendance

Share This Post

Face, fingerprint and iris each suit different conditions — the best attendance systems support more than one so identity capture works for everyone, everywhere.

Face

Fast and contactless, the everyday default; needs adequate lighting and an unobscured face.

Contactless fingerprint

Captured by the device camera; ideal where faces are covered or in PPE.

Iris

Highly accurate and contactless for sterile, gloved or high-security settings, though hardware is more specialised.

FAQ

Which should we choose? Most teams use face plus contactless fingerprint; multi-modal support means you’re covered when one method isn’t suitable.
