In modern educational institutions, traditional attendance recording methods are time-consuming, error-prone, and vulnerable to proxy attendance. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing has enabled the development of intelligent attendance systems that ensure accuracy, transparency, and efficiency. This paper proposes a Smart Attendance System that utilizes Face Recognition technology integrated with IoT-enabled devices for automated and real-time attendance management. The system captures student images through a camera module, verifies identity using facial recognition algorithms, and stores attendance records in a centralized cloud database. The proposed solution reduces manual workload, eliminates proxy attendance, enhances data security, and provides real-time access to attendance reports for students, faculty, and administrators. The system is scalable, cost-effective, and suitable for implementation in schools, colleges, and universities.
