The use of biometric technologies increases the effectiveness of the student attendance system.This paper describes an Internet of Things (IoT) system that uses a fingerprint-based biometric scanner to track student attendance. The data is saved securely on the cloud. It is a portable and simple way to record attendance. The goal of this technical breakthrough is to automate the labor-intensive process of manually collecting and storing student attendance data. In addition, proxy attendance will be removed, resulting in more reliable attendance data. The instructor can easily access the recordings from a secure place as needed.
