Think of it as a "fingerprint clock-in machine" for small teams. No internet needed.

1. *Clock in/out*: Staff put finger → machine records time
2. *Stores data*: Keeps 50,000 punches = ∼1 year for 50 staff
3. *Export to Excel*: Plug USB → download attendance → open in Excel for payroll
**Users** Max 500 staff fingerprints
**Screen** 2.8" color screen shows name + time when they clock
**No internet** Works offline. USB cable/USB stick only
**Power** Small adapter like phone charger, 5V
**Extra** Can ring bell automatically for school/work breaks
Small shop, salon, restaurant, church, school <500 people. Where you just need "who came, what time" once a month.
