Presence at the door
A Hikvision camera face-matches students as they arrive; biometric time & attendance covers voice and GPS where cameras don't reach.

Adjacent solution · Education
Every student accounted for.
A connected-campus suite for TVET colleges — an end-to-end attendance and academic-analytics pipeline that turns a face-match at the door into an at-risk alert and a WhatsApp to the student, on the same platform that runs the network.

The keystone
One pipeline, from the door to the guardian.
The §7 Attendance & Academic Analytics pipeline is the spine of the suite: capture presence, bind it to the timetable, surface who's falling behind, and close the loop with an automated message — no spreadsheets, no manual registers.
02 · Bind
Tied to the timetable
Every match binds to a scheduled class — cohort × subject × room × lecturer × period — so a clock-in becomes a real attendance record, not a raw event.

03 · Analyse
Who's falling behind
Cohort KPI tiles band green / amber / red, a pivot and trend chart track the term, and an at-risk list flags anyone under the threshold.

04 · Act
Close the loop
Declarative rules — absent-streak-3, cohort-at-risk-75%, lecture-starting-now — fire messages over WhatsApp, email and SMS automatically.

Made for the campus
A view for every role.
Students, lecturers and registrars each get a focused surface onto the same live attendance data.
For students
Student portal
- A landing dashboard: today's classes, this-week attendance %, pending justifications
- Week-view timetable for their cohort and a filterable, paged attendance log
- Submit an absence justification online and track its outcome
- A notifications log of every message the campus has sent them
For lecturers
Lecturer cockpit
- A "My Classes Today" board scoped to their own teaching load
- A per-class grid pre-seeded with every enrolled student
- One-click Present / Late / Absent / Excused, with a full chatter trail
- Final-mark capture per student assignment
For registrars & admins
Analytics & rules
- Cohort attendance KPIs, pivots and term-trend graphs on one page
- A live at-risk list against a configurable threshold (default 75%)
- Author declarative notification rules without code
- POPIA audit trail forwarded to the college SIEM
What's inside
Eleven modules, one connected campus.
Records and scheduling, attendance capture, engagement, and compliance — each a focused Odoo module that composes into the pipeline above.
Records
Student records (Lite)
Faculty / programme / cohort / subject hierarchy, student profiles with a POPIA-encrypted ID number, per-student class assignments and a REST import endpoint for SIS sync.
tvet_student_records_lite
Scheduling
Class schedule
The keystone timetable — rooms, academic periods, class periods (P1–P8) and timetable entries — plus the student-class attendance model that binds clock-ins to classes.
tvet_class_schedule
Capture
Hikvision bridge
Connects Hikvision face-match events to class attendance records, turning camera recognitions into bound attendance.
tvet_hikvision_attendance_bridge
Analytics
Attendance dashboard
Per-cohort KPI tiles (green/amber/red), a pivot over scheduled weeks, a present-count trend graph and a students-at-risk list.
tvet_attendance_dashboard
Portal
Lecturer portal
Today's classes scoped to the lecturer, a pre-seeded attendance grid and single-click Present/Late/Absent/Excused marking.
tvet_lecturer_portal
Portal
Student portal
Self-service web portal: schedule, own attendance, online absence justification and a personal notifications log.
tvet_student_portal
Engagement
Notification orchestrator
A declarative rules engine that reads attendance and timetable data and dispatches over WhatsApp, email and SMS.
tvet_notification_orchestrator
Messaging
Wappari adapter
A South African Wappari WhatsApp BSP client — encrypted credentials, approved-template cache, and outbox/inbox with delivery webhooks.
tvet_wappari_adapter
Compliance
Biometric encryption
Wraps face-encoding and voice-embedding vectors in Fernet encryption at rest — POPIA §26 Special Personal Information — without touching the T&A core.
tvet_biometric_encryption
Security
SIEM forwarder
Forwards audit-log entries to external syslog/CEF/JSON SIEM endpoints (Splunk, Wazuh, Elastic).
tvet_siem_forwarder
Facilities
IoT maintenance bridge
Auto-raises a maintenance request from IoT sensor alerts, tying campus facilities into the same operations stack.
tvet_iot_maintenance_bridge
Compliant by design
Built for POPIA and the South African campus.
Biometrics and learner data are Special Personal Information — the suite treats them that way from the first install, and speaks the channels South African students actually use.
POPIA §26
Encrypted biometrics
Face-encoding and voice-embedding vectors are Fernet-encrypted at rest as Special Personal Information — migrated transparently on install.
POPIA
Encrypted learner ID
Student ID numbers are stored encrypted through the platform's telecom.encrypted mixin.
Audit
SIEM-forwarded trail
Every audit-log entry can be streamed to Splunk, Wazuh or Elastic in syslog/CEF/JSON.
South Africa
WhatsApp via Wappari
Engagement runs over the Wappari WhatsApp BSP — the channel SA students actually read — with email and SMS fallback.
Part of the platform
Campus operations on the same foundation.
TVET Smart Campus reuses the platform's identity, encryption, IoT, messaging and audit services — so the college runs on the same stack as the network, not a second system to maintain.
