NexaKey NX-T324G GPRS Fingerprint Attendance Machine with SMS Alert

NexaKey NX-T324G SIM/GPRS Fingerprint Student Attendance Terminal

The NexaKey NX-T324G is a specialized standalone fingerprint time attendance terminal from the TEMPO 3 series, designed to support up to 5,000 users on a clear 2.8-inch color display.
Engineered specifically as the ideal solution for educational institutions, this model features built-in GPRS/SIM card connectivity and a standard backup battery. Because it operates entirely via a cellular network, it requires zero local IT infrastructure or physical wiring. Its standout feature is automated SMS alerts, which instantly notify parents the exact moment a student punches in, ensuring seamless communication and enhanced campus security.

Why this model rather than the other two

This is the one schools should look at first. A SIM removes the need for any building network, and SMS alerts to parents on entry and exit are the single feature that makes an attendance system visible to the people paying the fees.

Key features

• 600 DPI optical sensor — most terminals at this price use 500 DPI. Higher resolution captures more ridge detail, which improves reads on worn, dry, or small fingers.
• 5,000 fingerprints, 5,000 users and 200,000 transaction logs — a 1,000-student school generates roughly 60,000 records a month, so the log holds about three months before clearing
• 2000 mAh battery giving 2 hours of backup — standard on every TEMPO 3 model, not a paid option
• 2.8″ TFT colour display showing the user's name and finger image on verification
• 125 kHz EM card support — the cheapest and most widely stocked card type in Bangladesh
• 32-bit DSP processor with a fast matching algorithm for shift-change throughput
• GPRS / SIM plus USB Host, USB Client and RS485
• Free SDK and API — integrate into your own HR, payroll or school ERP at no licence cost
• Wiegand 26/34 in and out — works standalone or as a slave reader on an existing panel
• USB pen-drive export to Excel or TXT — no network or software required

Built for school attendance

School attendance has requirements an office terminal does not. Students arrive in a single compressed rush, parents want to know their child arrived, and the office needs a register that satisfies a board inspection.

• Parent SMS on entry and exit — available on the NX-T324G over GPRS. This is the feature parents notice, and the one that justifies the system to a governing body.
• 2 hours of battery backup — load-shedding at 7:40 am would otherwise mean an entire morning's attendance never recorded. Two hours covers the full arrival window on every TEMPO 3 model, as standard.
• 5,000 fingerprints and 200,000 logs — enough for students plus teaching and support staff on one device. A 1,000-student school generates around 60,000 records a month, so the log runs about three months before it needs clearing.
• 125 kHz EM cards — the cheapest card type available in Bangladesh, which matters when you are issuing one to every student.
• Separate student and staff groups — different timing rules for each, so a late teacher and a late student are reported differently.
• Daily, weekly, and monthly reports — exported to Excel for the office, or pulled automatically into a school ERP through the API.
• USB export with no network — a school with no IT department can carry the day's data to the office on a pen drive.
