Hikvision launches cloud-based access and attendance solution

Hikvision announced the launch of its new cloud-based and fully integrated access and attendance solution for SMB and enterprise users. Built with an intuitive user interface, the new solution provides sophisticated, multi-site access control and time and attendance management that centralize and simplify HR operations, and enhance the employee experience.

Hikvision’s cloud-based access and attendance solution is an integrated HR management and access control system. It is fully scalable and flexible for a variety of access and attendance needs found in different types of businesses. It enables agile working both on-site and remotely, with mobile check-in facility – this is a great time saver for employers and employees alike. This is particularly ideal for businesses with field employees, promoting easier and more efficient remote workforce management.

The cloud-based system also allows administrators and HR managers to remotely assign access permissions to employees or groups of employees, across multiple sites with Hikvision MinMoe terminals supporting safe access into work premises.

The top benefits of Hikvision cloud-based access and attendance solution for SMBs

1) Streamlined HR administration
The solution features streamlined access control and time and attendance management. Notably, it allows employers to create flexible calendars and schedules, and to configure annual leaves and assign rotating shifts as needed. Reports on attendance and other KPIs can be generated to provide employers with increased visibility into the total workforce.

2) Increased convenience for employees
For employees, they can clock-in and clock-out at multiple sites, quickly and easily on their mobile phones installed with Hik-Connect app. The GPS clocking function further allows them to report their attendance even in field locations. In addition, the solution supports a multitude of access authentication methods including fingerprint, smartcard or face upon employee’s choice. The trending facial recognition provides highly accurate ID authentication with ‘non-contact’ hygiene, and is available from all Hikvision MinMoe terminals.

3) The lowest cost of ownership
The solution provides unrivalled value for SMBs based on a highly efficient cloud deployment model. With no need for local servers, infrastructure costs are low, and licenses are free for up to 10 employees initially. The solution can also be managed and supported remotely by trusted service providers using Hik-ProConnect, further helping to increase operational efficiency.

4) Rapid, simple deployment and set-up in the cloud
With all business logic needed for access control and attendance management in the cloud, the cloud-based access and attendance solution is extremely fast and easy to deploy, configure, and use.

5) End-to-end security

The combination of cloud efficiency and advanced, remote HR management features means the solution is setting new standards for access and attendance.
