When an employee initiates a check-in, the module automatically activates the device camera and captures a photograph that is stored directly with the attendance record.
Why it matters: Every check-in becomes a timestamped visual record, making proxy attendance immediately detectable.
Photo capture is not limited to check-in — the module also captures a photo when the employee checks out, providing a complete visual record for each attendance session.
Why it matters: Check-out fraud is as common as check-in fraud; both events are covered with a single module.
The webcam photo capture feature works natively within Odoo's Kiosk attendance mode, activating the camera automatically without any manual intervention.
Why it matters: Shared kiosk terminals in offices, warehouses, and production floors become verified attendance stations without additional hardware.
Administrators can enable or disable the webcam photo capture feature from within the Odoo Attendances configuration settings — no developer involvement required.
Why it matters: Teams can turn verification on or off as operational needs change, giving full control without touching code.
Each attendance transaction is linked to a captured photograph, creating an image-verified record that HR managers can review when disputes or queries arise.
Why it matters: Visual verification transforms attendance records from a trust-based system into an evidence-based one.
By requiring a physical photo at the point of check-in or check-out, the module deters proxy attendance and unauthorized time entries at the system level.
Why it matters: Security is enforced as part of the workflow rather than relying on supervisory oversight.
HR administrators and managers can generate attendance reports that include the photo records captured for each employee during the reporting period.
Why it matters: Reporting goes beyond timestamps — HR has visual context for every record without leaving Odoo.
Beyond Kiosk mode, webcam capture integrates equally with Odoo's standard attendance interface used by employees on their own devices or workstations.
Why it matters: Whether your team uses kiosks, desktops, or laptops, the same verified attendance experience applies consistently.
