✦ Devices ✦
Check in with a face,
a palm or a fingerprint.
Put a device at your door and attendance records itself. WorshipHQ works with the face, palm and fingerprint devices churches already buy.
Face
A member looks at the device at the door and is checked in. No sign-in table, no queue at a laptop.
Palm
Hold a hand up to the device. Nothing to touch, which is kinder to a busy door.
Fingerprint
A touch on a reader at the door, or on a check-in computer, and attendance records itself.
What works
Devices that work with WorshipHQ
Face, palm and fingerprint terminals
ZKTeco and compatible terminals, including the SpeedFace, ProFace, MB and iClock families and many rebranded ones. Anything with a cloud server, ADMS or push setting connects to WorshipHQ.
USB fingerprint readers
A ZKTeco SLK20R plugged into the computer you check people in with. Set up once from the Attendance page.
Any other device or software
If it can send a web request, such as a gate controller or another brand's software, it can check someone in using a private link.
How it works
From the box to your first scan
- 1
Buy a device
Hardware is bought separately. Choose face, palm, fingerprint, or a mix. Not sure which? Ask us first.
- 2
Add it in WorshipHQ
Enter its serial number. WorshipHQ shows you exactly what to type into the device.
- 3
Put your members on it
WorshipHQ sends every member's name to the device. Then each person enrols their face, palm or finger on the device itself.
- 4
People scan, attendance records itself
Each scan checks that member in to the service that is on, and shows up live in WorshipHQ.
Good to know
Questions churches ask
Which plan do I need?
Check-in devices are part of the Max plan. The devices themselves are bought separately.
Do I need a computer at the door?
Not for most terminals, which connect to WorshipHQ over the internet by themselves. A terminal that can only send to an IP address uses a small bridge program on any computer in your building. A USB fingerprint reader needs the computer it is plugged into.
What if someone scans twice?
Their first scan at a service checks them in. Scanning again at the same service changes nothing.
Will a cleaner or a visitor passing in the week be counted?
No. You choose when scans count: during your service times, or only on the days and hours you set. Scans outside are ignored.
How well does recognition work?
It works best when the person faces the camera, within about a metre, in good light. Distances and speeds in a brochure are best case, so try one device at your entrance before you buy more.
Where is the face or palm data kept?
On the device at your church. WorshipHQ only receives the member's ID, the time and which device it was. Get each member's consent before enrolling them, and a parent's or guardian's consent for children.
