On-premise attendance software — biometric, on your servers
The same NCheck server, apps and enrolment as the cloud — installed on your own infrastructure. Face, fingerprint and iris check-in on phones, tablets, IP cameras and terminals; encrypted templates and attendance records that never leave your network.
30-day free trial of the server · Windows installer or Docker image · perpetual licence available
Why teams choose on-premise attendance software
When biometric data is regulated, when the site has no reliable internet, or when procurement asks for a perpetual licence — on-premises is the answer without giving up any feature.
Full data ownership
Encrypted biometric templates and attendance records stay inside your perimeter — the strongest position for GDPR, BIPA, DPDP, PDPL and KVKK. Data residency is simply your data centre.
Compliance by region →Works without internet
Runs on your LAN — plants, mines, secure facilities and air-gapped sites. Shared devices verify on-device and sync over the local network; nothing depends on a cloud connection.
Air-gapped deployments →Perpetual licence option
Subscribe yearly with updates and support included — or buy once with an annual maintenance plan. Licensed by employee count, priced per deployment.
Pricing →Up and running in three steps
A standard server install — no proprietary hardware, no consultants required.
Windows 64-bit installer (Java 21) or the Docker image for Linux. 8 GB RAM and 1.5 GB disk is enough for most sites; the Admin client comes with the Windows server.
Register employees from a photo, a fingerprint scanner or an iris camera. Point the free Attend app, shared tablets, IP cameras or Android terminals at your server address.
Shifts, geofencing, access control and visitor management run locally. Timesheets export to Tally, QuickBooks, Dynamics or any payroll via CSV and the REST API.
Everything the cloud version does — inside your network
One codebase. Whatever you pilot in the cloud works identically on your servers, and staff never re-enrol when you move.
Multi-biometric
Face, contactless fingerprint and iris — with automatic fallback when one method can’t be used. Powered by Neurotechnology’s NIST-top-ranked algorithms with ISO 30107 liveness detection.
Any device you already own
Employee phones, shared tablets, Windows PCs, RTSP IP cameras and Android terminals (Aratek, Telpo, BioRugged).
Supported devices →Attendance + access + visitors
One on-premises server covers time & attendance, door and gate access control (including licence plates) and visitor management with badges and pre-appointments.
How it works →Cloud or on-premises?
Same product, same price per employee — the difference is where the data lives and who runs the server.
| NCheck Cloud | NCheck On-Premises | |
|---|---|---|
| Where biometric data is stored | EU data centre, encrypted | Your servers, encrypted |
| Internet required | Yes (devices buffer offline) | No — LAN or air-gapped |
| Set-up | Sign up, minutes | Install server, about an hour |
| Updates & backups | By NCheck | By your IT (installer / image) |
| Licence | Monthly or yearly per employee | Yearly subscription or perpetual |
| Apps, devices, features | Identical | |
| Move between the two | Yes — same enrolment, no re-registration | |
