Face Recognition Attendance on the CCTV Cameras You Already Own
Staff walk past a camera — NexZig logs attendance and can control gate access with the same face. No badges, no fingerprints, no queues, no fraud.
Everything You Need for Attendance & Access Control
From walk-by check-in and gate access control to automated payroll sync — workforce entry and time, handled automatically.
Attendance & Time
The daily record — captured without anyone stopping at a device.
Walk-by Check-in & Check-out
Staff simply walk past a camera — NexZig identifies them and logs the time, gate, and shift automatically. No stopping, no tapping, no queues.
Real-time Shift & Overtime Tracking
Know exactly who clocked in late, who is still on-site, and who crossed into overtime — live, across every gate and location.
Late Arrival & Absence Alerts
Managers receive instant notifications when an employee is late, absent, or hasn't checked out. Configurable per department, shift, or individual.
Access & Security
The same recognised face controls who gets through the gate.
Face-Based Access Control
Use the same walk-by face for gate and entry access control. Authorised staff walk through; contractors and visitors get time-bounded face access with automatic entry/exit logs.
Anti-spoofing Liveness Detection
Passive liveness analysis rejects photos, videos, and masks in real time — preventing proxy attendance without any additional hardware.
Multi-site & Multi-gate Support
Manage attendance across unlimited sites, buildings, and gates from one dashboard. Employees enrolled once — recognised everywhere.
Data & Integration
Attendance data is only useful where payroll already lives. NexZig ships direct sync to Zoho HRMS and Frappe, plus a Swagger-documented REST API and webhooks for everything else.
Automated Timesheets & Payroll Sync
Payroll-ready timesheets generated every day — no manual data entry. Syncs directly with Zoho HRMS, Frappe, or your custom system via API.
Attendance Analytics & Reports
Daily, weekly, and monthly attendance summaries by department, shift, or individual. Export to CSV, PDF, or push to your HRMS on schedule.
Open REST API & Webhooks
Push attendance events to any system in real time via webhooks, or pull data via a comprehensive REST API. Full Swagger docs included.
How it compares to the alternatives
Five ways to record who turned up, side by side.
| Criterion | NexZig on existing CCTV | Face terminal at door | Fingerprint scanner | Card / RFID | Manual register |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware per door | None — uses existing camera | One terminal | One scanner | Reader + cards | None |
| Employee action | Walk past | Stop, face device | Stop, touch sensor | Stop, tap card | Sign |
| Queue at shift change | None | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Proxy attendance | Blocked by liveness | Not possible | Possible | Trivial — cards are shared | Trivial |
| Shared-surface contact | None | None | Yes | Minimal | Yes |
| Works from existing camera position | Often, if the view is right | No — new mount required | No | No | N/A |
| Where biometric data lives | On-premise | Terminal or vendor cloud | Terminal or vendor cloud | No biometric | None |
The honest read
If you have one entrance and thirty employees, a face terminal at the door is a reasonable purchase and probably cheaper than us. The economics change when you have multiple entrances, multiple sites, or shift changes where a crowd arrives in a few minutes and a queue forms at a single device. That queue is the real cost of terminal-based attendance, and it never appears on the invoice.
Will it work at your site?
Most sites qualify. The questions that actually determine it:
Do your cameras output a standard IP stream?
NexZig is camera-agnostic and works with the major IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, Axis and Honeywell. Analogue-only systems need an encoder or an upgrade.
Can a camera see approaching faces at each entry point you want to track?
This is the real constraint, and it is about position rather than camera quality. Many sites already have a suitable camera. Some need one repositioned. We assess this before quoting, not after.
Do you have somewhere on site to put a server?
All processing runs on your premises. A standard rack or cabinet is fine.
Where do attendance records need to go?
We sync to Zoho HRMS and Frappe directly, and to any other system via REST API or webhooks. Tell us what you run and we will confirm the path.
We survey your cameras before quoting.
A site visit tells you exactly which entry points work as they are, which need a camera moved, and which need a new one — before you commit to anything.

Getting Started
How it works
Four steps from an existing camera feed to a payroll-ready timesheet.
1
Connect your existing cameras
NexZig pulls video over RTSP from the cameras you already have. Nothing is installed on the camera, and your NVR recording continues untouched.
2
Enrol your staff once
Bulk-import from existing ID photos. Enrolled at one site, recognised at every site and gate.
3
Faces are matched on site
Detection, matching and liveness all run on your premises. No video leaves your network.
4
Attendance syncs automatically
Timestamped in/out records against the right gate and shift, synced to Zoho HRMS, Frappe, or your system via API.
Walk-by face recognition attendance marks staff present as they walk past a camera — no stopping, no tapping, no touching. NexZig reads your existing CCTV stream, matches faces on a server inside your premises, and writes a timestamped record straight to payroll.
Attendance questions, answered
Usually yes — any IP camera with a clear view of approaching faces. We confirm this in a site survey before you commit.
A terminal makes everyone stop and queue. NexZig recognises staff as they walk past at normal speed.
No. All processing runs on a server inside your premises.
High in live deployments, strongest when cameras are positioned to capture faces as people approach.
No. Passive liveness rejects photos and videos, and there's no card or PIN to share.
The pass is logged as unrecognised with a timestamp for supervisor review — never silently dropped.
Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, Axis, Honeywell and any other standard IP camera. Analogue systems need an encoder.
Direct sync to Zoho HRMS and Frappe. Any other system via REST API or webhooks.
Yes — unlimited sites and gates from one dashboard. Enrol once, recognised everywhere.
Yes, subject to DPDP Act obligations around consent, retention and deletion — all of which NexZig supports.
No hardware procurement and bulk enrolment mean most single sites go live fast. The camera survey sets the exact timeline.
