Wireless Fingerprint Based College Attendance System Using Zigbee Technology

In this paper we propose a system that takes attendance of student and maintaining its records in an academic institute automatically. Manually taking the attendance and maintaining it for a long time makes it difficult task as well as wastes a lot of time. For this reason an efficient system is designed. This system takes attendance with the help of a fingerprint sensor module and all the records are saved on a computer. Fingerprint sensor module and LCD screen are dynamic which can move in the room. In order to mark the attendance, student has to place his/her finger on the fingerprint sensor module. On identification of particular student, his attendance record is updated in the database and he/she is notified through LCD screen. In this system we are going to generate Microsoft excel attendance report on computer. This report will generate automatically after 15 days (depends upon user). This report will be sent to the respected HOD, teacher and student’s parents email Id.
