Why iris for time and attendance
Uncopyable by nature
Irises can't be photographed off a badge or lent to a colleague — assurance at its maximum.
Stable for decades
Unlike fingerprints, irises don't wear with manual work — enrol once.
Glasses & PPE friendly
Reliable capture through prescription glasses and under helmets.
Combine modalities
Iris + face for mantraps and two-factor doors.
Premium plan
Iris identification is included in Premium — €3.00 per employee/month.
Where iris is the right method.
An iris attendance system identifies each person from the pattern in the coloured ring of their eye. It's the right choice where a wrong match would be costly, or where gloves and dirt make other methods unreliable.
| Site | Why iris fits |
|---|---|
| Laboratories | Staff in gloves and gowns check in without removing them. |
| Data centres and server rooms | Every entry is tied to one verified person for the audit log. |
| Vaults and refineries | A wrong match is expensive, so precious metals sites can pair iris with a second biometric. |
| Government and defence | Works with on-premises and air-gapped servers on high-security sites. |
| Hospitals and clinics | Contactless capture suits wards with strict hygiene rules. See iris recognition in healthcare. |
| Mines | Dirty hands make fingerprints unreliable, and dirt doesn't affect an iris read. |
There's a fuller comparison of the methods in iris vs face vs fingerprint.
Supported iris scanners and multi-biometric rules.
Iris cameras on the supported devices list connect to NCheck Admin stations, and the scanner drivers download on that page includes the iris drivers. Tested scanners are also available from Biometric Supply, Neurotechnology's own hardware store.
Iris works alongside face and fingerprint on the same account, so a site can ask for more at its sensitive doors without slowing every entrance. With access control, rules are set per door, for example:
| Door or area | Example rule |
|---|---|
| Main entrance | Face only |
| Laboratory | Iris only |
| Server room | Face and iris |
| Vault | Iris and fingerprint |
Every check-in, whatever the method, lands in the same timesheets and reports. There's more on iris recognition for time and attendance on the blog.
Cloud or on-premises iris attendance.
Iris templates are encrypted, and event photos can be deleted automatically after a period you set. For restricted sites, NCheck On-Premises keeps every template on your own server and can run fully air-gapped.
Trusted by teams who rely on biometrics for accurate attendance systems.
“We are using this software across different locations and it just works. A great fit for small and medium-size organisations.”
“Before, traditional time & attendance meant a lot of work to synchronise reports. With NCheck we do it with just a few clicks.”
“Face recognition works well with a normal camera too. Convenient, cost-effective and highly accurate — face, fingerprint and iris.”

Common questions.
How accurate is iris recognition for attendance?
NCheck uses Neurotechnology's iris algorithms, which are benchmarked in NIST evaluations. The iris pattern stays the same through life, so staff enrol once and keep checking in the same way for years.
Do we need special hardware for iris attendance?
Yes. Unlike face recognition, which works with an ordinary camera, iris needs a dedicated iris camera connected to an NCheck Admin station. Tested models are on the supported devices list.
Can iris recognition open doors as well as record attendance?
Yes. With access control, available from Standard, an iris check can open a door or turnstile and record attendance in the same step. Iris check-in itself is on the Premium plan.
Is iris recognition hygienic?
Yes. The camera reads the iris from a short distance, and nothing touches the eye or the device.
Does iris recognition store an image of the eye?
Matching uses an encrypted template derived from the iris pattern, which can be deleted when an employee leaves. Event photos are kept as proof of each check-in and can be deleted automatically after a period you set.
