Hello,<br />
<br />
We recently purchased a biometric fingerprint device for one of our locations. Its intended purpose was simple: employee fingerprints to clock in, employee fingerprints to clock out, manager can view and print reports.<br />
<br />
Easy, yeah? Unfortunately, the software we purchased was pretty awful. It made no distinction between a clock-in and clock-out punch (despite having distinct buttons for the two functions). Further, any punch after midnight was treated as the first punch of the day (this caused problems with our overnight staff) so we had scads and scads of missed punches. After working fruitlessly with their tech support, we decided to scrap the thing and select a new vendor.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions? What we need (as described above) is simple. Button to clock in, button to clock out, software to view / print reports.<br />
<br />
Please respond with any suggestions.

Biometric Clock In / Clock Out

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
