The face terminal for a door the weather reaches.
An aluminium case rated IP65 around an 8″ IPS screen, Sony colour and infrared cameras and a fingerprint reader. It recognises up to five people at once, reads ID and Mifare cards and a QR code from the app, and takes a photo at every check-in and check-out.
LEM Ai8 ProWaterproof Face and Fingerprint Time Attendance and Access Control Terminal
What this one is good at
IP65 in an aluminium case
Rain, dust and a hosed-down yard. The case is aluminium alloy, not plastic, and rated IP65.
Face and fingerprint
Two biometric options on one unit: dual-camera face recognition in under 0.2 seconds and a fingerprint reader with room for 100,000 prints.
Recognises a masked face
Mask handling is built in, so a kitchen or a clinic does not have to unmask at the door.
Card, PIN and QR as well
ID and Mifare cards as standard, HID as an option, a PIN, or a QR code from the app read by the camera. The same terminal runs without biometrics.
A photo at every check-in and check-out
Kept with the punch and shown in Attendance.
Says the name
Text-to-speech announces who was recognised, with LED and dual infrared fill light switching with the ambient light.
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
- Outdoor or semi-outdoor staff entrances
- Kitchens, yards and doors exposed to rain
- Sites that want both face and fingerprint on one unit
Not right for
A sheltered indoor door, where the waterproof case is paying for nothing: the LEM Ai8 does the same job inside. Its specified working range starts at 0°C.
Every angle
Outdoors, in the rain
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 Pro 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

Attendance integration
- Live updates
- Real time, pushed The gateway holds an open stream and sends each punch the moment it happens. Somebody walks through the door and the live view has them, without a refresh and without a poll interval to wait out.
- If the network drops
- Nothing is lost The terminal keeps its own log, and Attendance polls the gateway on a watermark with a five-minute overlap. Reconnect and every punch made in the gap is imported, with its original time, not the time it arrived.
- Duplicate protection
- One punch, once The same event arriving by both push and poll is recognised as one punch, not two.
- Device health
- Online, last seen, collection state Shown per terminal in the portal, so a unit that has quietly stopped reporting is visible before somebody notices a missing shift.
- Verification status
- Integrated The model connects to Attendance for clock-in and clock-out, employee matching and synchronisation after a connection interruption.
- Firmware

Every one of these writes into the same record, so a site can run two models on two doors, or replace one in three years, without anything downstream noticing. What you are choosing here is how people get through a particular door, not a platform.
