Questions people ask
Can different brands run together?
Yes. Devices from different brands can feed one attendance record, so you can replace terminals one at a time.
What if my brand is not listed?
Any device that can export a log file can feed Ankastra through CSV import, with duplicate detection when a file is uploaded twice. Tell us the model and we confirm the best method.
