Fingerprint reader and attendance system
by Bilal Ahmed Mazhar 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi All Is there anyone who recommend me any biometric device for designing fingerprint based attendance recording system? I want to go for hardware only and software will be designed inhouse because all parties are selling windows based software which can be operated from one machine. I want to design it in PHP/MYSQL (i.e browser based) can be operated from anywhere. I need only device and import/export data software. I had some demo but dealers are quite confused to give it to Linux system. They recommend me to export data through windows system which I don't need. Data import/export should be automated by shell script. Any recommendation for device and dealers will be highly appreciated. Regards, Bilal Ahmed Mazhar

In other words as good as my ol' MTNL dialup > connection?!! 144kbps (or is it 170kbps)) is the total channel throughput. Shared by umpteen users. Result 4.5kbps actual throughput most of the time. Occassionally you may get a burst of speed when the channel is relatively less cluttered. Unless you are guaranteed in writing of a fixed continuos bandwidth, all the promises are rubbish. In fact a 9600bps gsm connection (not gprs) works far better than any of the shared schemes. Of course you are charged Rs.4 per minute. rgds jtd
