An eight-inch face terminal for a busy door.
An 8″ touch screen, a 2MP colour camera and a 2MP infrared camera that recognise up to five people at once in under 0.2 seconds. Card, PIN and a QR code from the app cover everyone else, and a photo is taken at every check-in and check-out.
LEM Ai8Face Recognition Time Attendance and Access Control Terminal, 8″
What this one is good at
Five faces at once
It recognises up to five people in the same frame, at 0.5 to 2.5 metres, with the manufacturer's 99.70% accuracy figure. A shift arriving together does not queue.
An 8″ screen that reads from a distance
An 800×1280 capacitive touch screen with an on-screen keypad. It shows and announces the name of the person it recognised.
Card, PIN and QR as well
An ID or IC card (the reader is an option), a PIN, or a QR code generated in the app for a visitor. The same terminal runs without biometrics.
A photo at every check-in and check-out
Kept with the punch and shown in Attendance. A stranger's photo is captured and uploaded in real time.
Works in strong light and darkness
Wide dynamic range and automatic infrared and white fill light, from 0 to 50,000 lux.
Tolerates the cold
Specified from -15°C to +45°C, so a covered but unheated entrance is within range.
Mounting options
One stand range for every Attendance terminal.
Choose a counter stand, a fixed-height floor stand or an adjustable model for the point of installation. Each option accepts every terminal named below, so the terminal can change without replacing the stand.
CountertopDesk or reception counterCounter stand
A compact metal stand for a reception desk, counter or other surface where a floor stand is unnecessary.
60 cmCompact heightFixed stand
A fixed, lower-height option for an installation that does not need adjustment.
110 cmFull heightFixed stand
A full-height fixed stand for a permanent staff entrance or exit point.
Up to 120 cmAdjustable heightTelescopic stand
Adjust the height up to 120 cm when the installation needs more flexibility.
With Attendance
The door happens, and it is in the software.
This is not a terminal you buy and then find an export routine for. It is integrated with Attendance at attendance.cy, and a punch at this door is in the live view before the person has finished walking through it.
Real time, not a poll interval
The gateway holds an open stream and pushes every event the instant it happens. No refresh, no five-minute wait, no "last synced at". Somebody checks in and the board has them.
Three layers, so nothing is lost
The push is the fast path. Behind it Attendance polls on a watermark with a five-minute overlap, and behind that the terminal keeps its own log: up to a million events. Cut the network for a week and every punch still arrives, carrying the time it was made.
Straight into hours, not a spreadsheet
The punch becomes a shift, the shift becomes hours, and the hours become an approved payroll batch: in one record, with the corrections attached to it. Nothing is re-keyed and nothing is reconciled by memory at the end of the month.
You can see the terminal itself
Online or not, when it was last seen, and whether collection is current or overdue: per unit, in the portal. A terminal that quietly stops reporting is visible the same day rather than when somebody queries a missing shift.
Right for
- A busy main entrance where a shift arrives together
- Sites that want a large screen and spoken confirmation at the door
- Visitors and contractors on a QR code from the app
Not right for
A workflow that needs fingerprints: this model has no fingerprint reader. For an exposed outdoor position, the LEM Ai8 Pro is the waterproof one.

Buying
- Delivery and installation
- Free anywhere in Cyprus: we deliver it, mount it and connect it. Outside Cyprus, delivery is quoted per order and the terminal arrives set up, ready for you to mount.
- 24-month warranty
- If it stops working as it should, we replace it.
- Rent to own
- Pay monthly instead of up front. After 24 months the terminal is yours. Ask us for the monthly rate.
- Software
- Sold separately. The price depends on the features you use and how many people you have. Ask us.
Face recognition for everyday attendance is restricted in Cyprus. The LEM Ai8 also works with card, PIN or a QR code from the app, so the same terminal runs without biometrics. When biometric attendance is allowed in Cyprus

- Duplicate protection
