Face recognition at the gate with an ordinary camera
The gate screen can now recognise learners by face, using a phone or webcam. No card and no terminal needed.
The office enrols each learner's face from the portal, after recording which parent agreed and when. At the gate, learners look at the camera one at a time and are checked in.
- Runs in the browser on a phone or laptop
- The portal keeps an encrypted face signature, not a photo
- Face data is deleted when a learner leaves, or when the school removes it
- If two learners look too alike to the camera, it asks for the card instead
Face data is personal data under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843). Schools should keep each parent's signed agreement on file.
