How biometric attendance works with a Realtime panel

A Realtime Mini (or similar) panel enrolls faces and thumbs, then streams punches into RaktHR through a local bridge.

Most Indian offices that want serious attendance start with a biometric panel — often a Realtime Mini or Pro running face (and optionally thumb) recognition.

The flow is simple:
1. Enroll each person once on the panel (face first; thumb as backup)
2. The panel sits on your office network and talks to a small bridge on a Mac or PC
3. Every punch is forwarded to RaktHR as a check-in or check-out

RaktHR is built around that panel — not as an optional add-on. When someone punches, the dashboard updates. When enrollment finishes, their staff profile reflects it.

If the internet drops, the local bridge can keep the floor moving and sync when connectivity returns. That reliability is why biometric hardware still beats phone-only apps for many workplaces.
