Biometric Facial Recognition Time Clock System with Synchronized Bells – TimeGuardian Software
Description
This biometric facial recognition time clock system combines a facial recognition time terminal, TimeGuardian time and attendance software, and synchronized bell signaling capability into a single integrated system. Employees clock in and out using facial recognition, eliminating badges and reducing buddy punching while automatically collecting time data for payroll processing. The system is designed for facilities that require both accurate attendance tracking and scheduled signaling for shift changes or breaks.
The facial recognition terminal captures employee punches and transfers data to TimeGuardian software, where hours are calculated, edited, and prepared for payroll export. The system supports common payroll integrations and allows administrators to manage schedules, departments, and reporting from a central workstation. Facial recognition provides touch-free identification and removes card management while improving punch accuracy and accountability. Biometric time clocks use unique physical characteristics to verify employees, preventing proxy punching and improving attendance accuracy.
The included relay output allows the system to trigger synchronized bells or buzzers at scheduled times. This keeps employee time collection and shift signaling tied to the same schedule, reducing manual intervention and improving consistency across departments. The system is commonly installed in manufacturing environments, warehouses, and service operations where automated attendance tracking and audible shift control are both required.

FAQ
Does facial recognition replace badges or cards?
Yes. Employees clock in using facial recognition, eliminating badges and reducing lost or shared credentials.
Can the system run bells automatically?
Yes. The relay output allows scheduled bell or buzzer activation tied to the system schedule.
Is a computer required during operation?
A computer is used for administration and reporting, but the clock stores punches internally if the network is temporarily unavailable.

This bell timer software, which is built-in to the Amano clock, allows you to set up as many bell ringing events as you need each day. Up to 1,440 rings per day, one for every minute, spread across seven days.
It can ring a standard schedule of events Monday - Friday, off on Saturday and Sunday, or a partial shift of different times on Saturday (and even Sunday). The bell scheduling software is capable of ringing 7 days a week, three shifts.

It's easy..
Updates to MTX-30 and new AFR clocks..
TimeGuardian 6.0 will work on Server 2012 (factory brochure says 2016) and newer.
Holds punches when the network is off.
The clock will hold the punch records in the clock until a positive connection is made to the connected computer. If the network is down, they will still work normally and capture the punches.
Lastly, all pre-purchased modules will transfer over to the new software, and employee records all transfer across to the new software. You should call Amano when you are ready to install this, to do it right, with the least amount of effort.
