AI Camera Attendance

Roll call eats the first minutes of every class and is easy to game.

Point a camera at the room, recognise enrolled faces and mark attendance automatically.

1. Captured frames with OpenCV and detected faces in real time.
2. Matched faces against enrolled students with DeepFace embeddings.
3. Logged recognised students to an attendance record.
4. Built a second version for Hikvision IP cameras with FastAPI, PostgreSQL and Firebase.

A working prototype of camera-based attendance, and a hands-on study of face recognition’s accuracy and privacy trade-offs.
