Code / mobile-based

QR

The lowest-cost attendance option — a phone camera and a printed or displayed code.

What it is

QR-based attendance has staff scan a code (fixed at a location, or rotating for security) using a phone camera, logging a timestamped check-in with no dedicated hardware at all.

Best for / not for

Where QR genuinely fits — and where it doesn't

Best for

  • Very lean budgets or pilot deployments before committing to hardware
  • Field teams or event staff needing a quick, disposable check-in method
  • Supplementary verification alongside a primary technology

Not for

  • Any environment needing strong fraud resistance — static QR codes are easy to share or photograph
  • High-security or high-value compliance environments as the sole attendance method
MemoFaceAI integration

QR check-ins feed MemoFaceAI as a Source, but Metaguard typically recommends pairing QR with a secondary verification signal (like GPS) for anything beyond a pilot deployment.
