Camera attendance, built into the university experience

Automated attendance and retention for Sediba University

STARS verifies student attendance through venue cameras, the university timetable and enrollment records — then turns attendance patterns into early-warning retention insights. This prototype runs on realistic demo data for Sediba University of Technology.

Real camera recognition

The lecturer's live monitor uses the device camera with genuine face detection and matching against enrolled baseline photos — a working attendance pipeline.

One university, four views

Every role reads the same consistent demo environment: 40 students, 8 lecturers, 14 modules and 6 venues with cameras and live sessions.

POPIA-aligned by design

Biometric consent is explicit, camera footage is never treated as stored student data, and recognition confidence is always distinguishable from verified records.
