The Problem

Why Manual Attendance Falls Short.

Roll calls waste class time

A manual roll call in every lesson across a school can consume hundreds of hours of teaching time per term.

Proxy attendance is easy to fake

Students answer on behalf of absent classmates — and without camera-based verification, the records are impossible to challenge.

No real-time visibility for administrators

Principals and administrators have no live view of which rooms are occupied, who is present or where students are at any moment.

Paper records are hard to audit

Manual registers are difficult to compile into attendance trends, reports or parent communications without significant administrative effort.

Multi-class coordination is impossible

When students move between rooms for different subjects, tracking them manually across teachers and timetables creates gaps and errors.

Compliance and safeguarding risk

Inaccurate attendance records create safeguarding gaps — particularly when a student is unaccounted for but marked present.

What FlowLinks Automates

Camera-based attendance across every classroom.

Present / Absent / Late Marking

Students are automatically logged as present, absent or late the moment they enter or fail to enter within the configured window.

Live Classroom Dashboard

Teachers and administrators see a real-time headcount per classroom — present, absent and late counts updated as students arrive.

Proxy Attendance Detection

Headcount mismatches and simultaneous detections at different locations flag potential proxy entries for administrator review.

Attendance Trend Reports

Weekly and monthly attendance reports per student, class and building — ready for parent meetings, welfare reviews and regulatory returns.

Absentee Alerts

Automatic notifications to form tutors or administrators when a student has not been detected at the start of a session.

Multi-Building Coverage

Monitor attendance across every classroom, building and campus in a single centralised dashboard with role-based access.

How It Works

How Automated Attendance Works

1

Connect existing classroom cameras

FlowLinks integrates with your school or college CCTV and IP cameras via RTSP. No new hardware is installed in classrooms.

2

Configure attendance zones and windows

Define which camera views correspond to which classroom, and set the time window for on-time vs late marking per session.

3

AI marks attendance as students arrive

The system detects and logs each student entry in real time — updating the live dashboard for teachers and administrators immediately.

4

Absentee and late alerts sent automatically

When a student has not been detected by the session start, the form tutor or administrator receives an automatic notification.

5

Reports generated for review and compliance

Daily, weekly and termly attendance reports are available per student, class and building — exportable for school management systems.
