Attendance monitoring is an essential requirement in educational institutions to maintain discipline and performance records. Traditional manual systems are error-prone, while biometric systems often involve higher costs and longer processing times. This paper proposes an IoT cloud-integrated automated attendance system for enhanced security and accuracy. Each student carries an RFID tag that is scanned by the RFID reader to mark attendance. To prevent proxy usage of RFID cards, the system incorporates a camera module that captures the image of the individual during scanning, enabling cross- verification. The attendance data is stored in a real-time cloud database, allowing instant access for report generation and analysis. The system also sends notifications to the parents of individual students regarding their attendance status and features a web interface to track attendance changes on a date-by-date basis. This solution reduces manual effort, improves reliability, enables real-time monitoring, and provides efficient, secure, and transparent attendance management suitable for schools, colleges, and other organizations.
