Odoo Standard Edition — Realtime Biometric Attendance Management
Overview
This module allows integration of the biometric attendance system with the Odoo server on a real-time basis. This module helps to simplify the attendance tracking process by eliminating the need for software or a desktop setup. The only requirement is that the device should be connected online at all times to ensure seamless communication.
To download and use this module, it can be obtained for free from the Odoo Biometric App. Additionally, a YouTube video is available that provides an overview of the features supported in the module, which can be viewed to better understand the functionality.
It's important to note that you must purchase an API for the Odoo Standard Edition module to use this module with real-time biometric communication. Suppose you are not using a Cams device. In that case, you must purchase the Protocol Update to enable the web API for your devices.
Integration Time: Upon module installation, the initial setup process may take approximately 3-4 hours to establish successful communication. However, due to Odoo's reliance on multiple components, occasional conflicts may arise. Identifying and resolving these conflicts can be time-consuming, so we recommend allocating up to 7 days to complete the entire setup. For any support inquiries, please contact our dedicated support team at support@camsunit.com, as WhatsApp support is not available for odoo.
Overall, this module is a valuable tool for businesses looking to simplify their attendance tracking process by integrating biometric systems with their Odoo server. It can be easily downloaded and used with the right API and protocol updates.
