NGTeco Fingerprint Time Clock for Small Businesses, Supports Shift Schedules, Standalone Time Card Machine with No Monthly Fees, No WiFi Required

Way too complicated to setup and reports have to be downloaded to a memory stick, pretty much a pain in the neck. Then they say reply to their message “full return” for a refund. I do that and they continue to jerk me around. Stay away

I recently purchased the NGTeco Fingerprint Time Clock for my small business, and overall, it has been a great investment. It’s an affordable, standalone solution for tracking employee hours without needing WiFi or paying monthly fees, which was exactly what I was looking for.Setting up the time clock was pretty straightforward, and the instructions were clear for basic functions like registering fingerprints and logging employee hours. However, I did need to watch a YouTube tutorial to figure out how to access one of the features—it wasn’t as intuitive as I’d hoped. That being said, once I learned how to navigate the system, it worked smoothly.The fingerprint scanner is accurate and responsive, quickly recognizing employees and reducing clock-in issues. I also like that it supports shift schedules, making it easy to track different work periods without confusion. The no WiFi requirement is a huge plus since I don’t have to worry about network issues interfering with the system.For the price, this time clock is definitely worth it. It’s a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution for small businesses that need a no-fuss way to track employee hours. While there is a bit of a learning curve with some features, it’s easy enough to manage once you get the hang of it. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, standalone time clock, this is a solid choice!

I'm using this at my small shop with just a couple employees. We don't really need it, it was more to test it out than to implement a new system. The setup was mostly painless, I don't mind menus and things like that. Build quality seems good and it does scan as one might expect. It's fairly easy to use once the system is set up. I like that it doesn't connect to wifi or anything like that. I don't mind transferring data via USB drive either. This does keep track of time, if only the boss (cough cough) would follow the timekeeping rules he put in place... Good value I would say, you likely won't find a cheaper option. This is worth purchasing if you are looking for a non-networked time clock.

I rate this fingerprint time clock as 3 stars because it stands out for its lack of recurring monthly fees, ability to function without Wi-Fi connection and reliability. Patience is definitely required for the setup, but the time clock is a pretty decent choice for those seeking a simple, affordable, and reliable standalone time/attendance tracking solution without monthly fees, but could be a deal-breaker if there’s a need for more advanced features, like real-time/remote monitoring, mobile access, or seamless integration with cloud-based payroll systems. While generally reliable, the fingerprint reader can sometimes be finicky, requiring multiple attempts but, for the most part, it delivers.

The system for calculating hours is very complicated. I do not recommend it.

I am using this for my small company and shop to record my time and my son's time and keep track of it all. It helps me figure out project times, labor spent and comes with a usb to transfer all data from the time clock and import it. I would recommend this to any small shop trying to keep track of labor cost and time on jobs.

Imagine you own a factory in the 1950's and you want to make sure Mary Jane can't clock in her boyfriend Johnny when he's late again. So, you throw out the old mechanical time clock in favor of new computerized tech. Back when folks didn't work from home, nor did they live in modern day communism; there was need for such devices.You get an instruction manual, power cord, screws for mounting and a USB thumb drive for transferring data. I guess the boss can't hook it up to Wi-Fi. Your fingerprint serves as the biometrics. I guess tapping your phone to a sensor at the door is out of the question. The entire system feels like 15 year old tech and 60 year old thinking.

I was never able to set this up. This is a difficult set up.
