LionClock with Biometric
support
Upcoming support for
fingerprint reader
Last updated on February 07,

Please note that
this page is referring to LionClock features that are not yet available
| We have received and continue to
receive many requests to use a fingerprint reader device with
LionClock. We are glad to report, that we plan to add this
option in the near future. Basically, this means that you would
be able to completely eliminate any possibility of employees
clocking for their friends, commonly known as
buddy-punching. In fact, since each person has a unique set of
fingerprints, only the employee himself would be able to clock
IN and OUT. To clock IN and
OUT, your employees would simply place their finger on a
fingerprint reader attached to your computer. No keyboard or
mouse required. If you are concerned about privacy, rest
assured that LionClock does not store images of the actual
fingerprints. Instead it records a unique mathematical formula
of the fingerprint that allows LionClock to easily and
precisely identify each person.
We decided to use DigitalPersona
4000B USB reader for this feature. This device is by far the
most reliable and the best known finger print reader currently
available that has been widely used world-wide by thousands of
companies. It's also one of the most reliable and
maintenance-free devices in its class. |

We are yet unsure if you would be required to pay extra for this
feature or if we will include it by default in all
editions of LionClock 3.xx.
We ask as many LionClock users to participate in our Beta
version testing of the fingerprint feature. If we can get
enough people to actively use the upcoming Beta version and send
us their comments and bug reports, it is possible that Biometric
support might become available by April 2008.
To test the Beta version with Biometric support, you would need
to purchase a fingerprint reader for $95 US + shipping. The Beta
version of LionClock with Biometric support would be given to
you free of charge. All active Beta testers who provide feedback and report
bugs will receive a full license of LionClock with Biometric
support free of charge once it is officially released. |
Complete this form if:
- you would like to
be notified when Biometric support becomes available
- you want to send us your suggestions
- you would like to participate in
testing our Biometric Beta version (requires a $95 USB fingerprint
reader purchase)
