Face Recognition Attendance in Dubai, UAE
Synktime is a cloud face recognition attendance system for teams in Dubai and across the UAE. It connects the facial recognition units you already run - including ZKTeco cloud hardware, one of the most widely installed biometric brands in the GCC region - to one cloud dashboard, so every check-in is tied to a face and not a card that can be shared or lent.
Once a device is linked, every scan pushes to the cloud in real time. No walking over to a machine to export a file, no standalone unit sitting isolated at one site, and if the internet drops the device keeps recording until it's back.
What Is Face Recognition Attendance?
Face recognition attendance records when employees start and finish work using their face as the physical trait - the same job a fingerprint scanner or card reader does - and turns each scan into an attendance record. In a cloud face recognition attendance system, that record syncs online to a central dashboard automatically, instead of being pulled off the machine by hand.
Synktime is a cloud face recognition attendance system for Dubai and the wider UAE. Most biometric machines only store data locally - someone has to walk over, plug in, and export a file. Synktime removes that step: the face recognition units you already run, including ZKTeco cloud hardware, talk to the cloud directly, so every site across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman reports to one dashboard in real time.
How It Works
Connect the device -
Your existing face recognition unit links to Synktime through its cloud connector, including direct ZKTeco cloud compatibility.
Employee scans in -
Check-in, break, and check-out are captured at the device as usual, each one tied to the employee's face.
Data syncs instantly -
The scan appears on the cloud dashboard in real time, visible to any manager with access.
No internet? No problem -
If the connection drops, the device keeps recording locally. Once it's back online, everything syncs automatically. No record is lost.
Key Capabilities
- Works with the units you own:
- connects ZKTeco, eSSL, Realtime, Mantra, and most major biometric brands running face recognition
- Real-time synchronization:
- attendance updates the moment a face is scanned, not at day's end
- Multi-location support:
- manage face recognition units at unlimited sites from a single dashboard
- Offline mode:
- devices store scans locally and sync once connectivity returns
Who This Is For
- Companies moving off standalone ZKTeco or eSSL face terminals that don't sync to the cloud on their own
- Offices replacing sign-in sheets and shared access cards with one face-verified record
- Multi-branch businesses that want every site's attendance on one dashboard instead of a spreadsheet per site

Frequently Asked
Can Synktime run face recognition attendance across our sites in Dubai and the UAE?
Yes. Synktime connects the face recognition units you already run - including ZKTeco cloud hardware - at unlimited sites across Dubai, the UAE, and the wider GCC, and every scan syncs to one cloud dashboard in real time. Field staff without a device can check in with a face-verified selfie from the mobile attendance app, all feeding the same dashboard.
Does this work with the ZKTeco face device we already own?
In most cases, yes. Synktime has native ZKTeco cloud support, so existing hardware connects without replacement.
What happens if a site loses internet for a full day?
The device keeps recording locally. Every scan syncs automatically once the connection returns, nothing is lost.
Can we mix face recognition with fingerprint and mobile check-ins?
Yes. One site can run face recognition, another a fingerprint reader, and field staff the mobile attendance app - every method feeds the same dashboard.
