All you need is a linux compatible webcam and the 2 scripts and the 2 text files and you are ready with the Low Cost Attendance Registering System with Biometrics. This script will run even on older machines that cannot handle server software.
understood - but How you are using webcam to identify the person?
The camera clicks a photo of the person who is entering a user_name. The photo click is for record keeping only and does not have any face recognition feature. If it is found that some employees are punching in their friends' names, too the records help the boss in knowing who is the person in the picture. It acts as a watchdog over the punching activity.
