Hi,

Your question is not much to go from, but I'll give it a go anyway. First of all, there is no "best device for doing job x". It depends on the requirements.

For example, you could make a program that interfaces with a card reader. That way, when people come in they push their cards in the card reader, and you know who went in where and at what time. On the other hand, you can also make use of a batch reader (magnetic batch that you hold in front of a panel) and you get the same data. Or, you could make use of RFID technology and only require that people walk around with a badge that contains an RFID chip.

But, on the note on requirements. What kind of Time and Attendence system are we talking about? Is it for a course where you want to know who attends at what times? Are we talking about a multi level skyscraper with numerous entrances?

Nobody can tell that from your question, there are to many blank spots. What is the business case of this project, what are the goals?
