Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine

Managing employee attendance manually can become difficult as a business grows. Paper registers, manual time sheets, and basic entry systems can make it harder to maintain accurate attendance records and monitor working hours. The Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine provides a more structured approach by combining fingerprint identification, card authentication, attendance management, and access control in one compact terminal.

The BC-F18 is designed as a standalone fingerprint access control terminal that can also be used for multiple time attendance functions. Its combination of biometric verification and card-based authentication gives businesses flexibility when setting up an employee attendance or controlled-entry system.

Fingerprint-Based Employee Verification

The main feature of the Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine is its optical fingerprint recognition system. Employees can register their fingerprints in the device and use them as an identification method when recording attendance or accessing a controlled area.

Fingerprint authentication can make attendance tracking more convenient because employees do not need to remember a password or carry a traditional attendance card when fingerprint verification is being used. The device is specified with a 1 fingerprint recognition duration of less than one second for up to 1,000 fingerprints.

This quick recognition can help reduce queues during common attendance periods such as office opening and closing times.

Capacity for Up to 1,000 Fingerprints

The BC-F18 provides storage for up to 1,000 fingerprints, allowing it to accommodate a substantial number of registered users. It also supports up to 1,000 users and 1,000 valid cards.

This makes the machine suitable for small and medium-sized organizations as well as departments within larger companies. Businesses can register authorized employees and manage their attendance or access according to their internal requirements.

The available storage also gives organizations room to expand their user base without immediately needing a larger terminal.

100,000 Attendance Records

Keeping historical attendance information is important for HR departments and business administrators. The Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine supports storage for up to 100,000 records, along with up to 50,000 attendance tables according to the listed specifications.

This allows businesses to maintain a substantial amount of attendance data directly on the device. Administrators can use the stored information as part of their attendance management workflow and transfer or process the data through compatible systems.

For organizations that need a more organized approach to employee time tracking, having dedicated record storage can be considerably more practical than maintaining paper-based attendance registers.

2.4-Inch LCD Display

The BC-F18 features a 2.4-inch LCD display that provides users with a clear interface while operating the terminal.

A dedicated screen can make everyday interaction easier by providing information during authentication and attendance activities. Employees can use the terminal at the entrance or designated attendance point without requiring a separate computer for every transaction.

The physical-key interface also provides a straightforward method for navigating the available functions and entering required information.

Card Authentication Option

Although fingerprint recognition is a major feature, the Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine also supports M1 card reading. The listed card-reading distance is approximately 0 to 5 cm, and the device supports up to 1,000 valid cards.

This provides businesses with an alternative authentication method. Organizations can choose fingerprint-based attendance, card-based identification, or an appropriate combination depending on their operational requirements.

Having more than one authentication option can also be useful when implementing the system across different departments or user groups.

Access Control Function

The Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine is not limited to employee attendance. It also provides an access control function, allowing it to become part of a controlled-entry setup.

Its listed interfaces include an exit button input, door contact input, relay lock output, and doorbell output.

This means the terminal can be integrated with compatible door-control hardware so that authorized users can be verified before entry. Businesses can therefore use one device for both workforce attendance and controlled access, depending on the installation.

TCP/IP and EHome Communication

For organizations that need network-based management, the Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine supports TCP/IP communication as well as EHome for public network communication.

Network connectivity can make it easier to integrate the terminal into a broader attendance or security environment. Instead of treating the device as an isolated unit, businesses can connect it with compatible software and infrastructure according to their requirements.

This can be especially useful for offices with dedicated HR, administration, or security teams that need centralized access to attendance information.

Multiple Attendance Statuses

The BC-F18 supports multiple time attendance statuses, making it suitable for organizations where employees may have different attendance events throughout the day.

Depending on the software configuration and company workflow, such systems can help distinguish different attendance activities rather than simply recording a single daily entry.

This can contribute to better workforce record management and give administrators more useful attendance information.

Useful for Offices and Businesses

The Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine can be installed at office entrances, employee access points, factories, commercial buildings, educational institutions, and other workplaces where employee attendance or controlled access needs to be monitored.

For a company with multiple employees, fingerprint-based attendance can provide a more structured alternative to manual registers. Employees can authenticate themselves directly at the terminal, while administrators can manage the resulting attendance information through compatible systems.

Linux-Based Standalone Terminal

The BC-F18 operates on a Linux-based system, according to its listed specifications.

Its standalone design means it can perform its core authentication and access-control functions without requiring a full desktop computer to be positioned next to the device. This can simplify installation at entrances and dedicated attendance locations.

The terminal requires a 12 VDC / 1 A power supply and includes a buzzer and loudspeaker for audio feedback.

Reliable Biometric Attendance Solution

For businesses trying to improve attendance accuracy, the Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine offers several useful features in one device. Fingerprint recognition provides biometric identification, while card support gives another authentication option. Large record capacity helps maintain attendance information, and network connectivity allows the device to become part of a larger management system.

Its access-control capabilities further extend its usefulness beyond simple time tracking.

Why Choose Black Copper BC-F18?

The Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine is a practical choice for businesses that want both employee attendance management and basic access control from a single terminal. With support for 1,000 fingerprints, 1,000 cards, 100,000 records, a 2.4-inch LCD, TCP/IP, EHome, optical fingerprint recognition, and door-control interfaces, it offers a versatile platform for workplace security and attendance management.

Whether you are managing an office, retail business, factory, educational institution, or another organization, the Black Copper BC-F18 Biometric Attendance Machine can help replace manual attendance procedures with a more organized biometric system.
