Access & Attendance
Access-control device connectors
Pull entry events from turnstiles, card readers and face-recognition terminals through the interfaces they already offer. No manual exports.
What we build
Turnstiles, card readers and face-recognition terminals log every entry, but the data stays locked in the vendor's software. Getting it out usually means someone exporting files by hand.
- Connectors that read events from the controller's API, database or export files
- Automatic collection at a fixed interval instead of manual exports
- A consistent event format: person, door or zone, direction and time
- Checks that catch missing or duplicate events
How it works
A typical data flow, from your equipment to the place the data is used.

Getting started
What we need from you
- The model and software version of your access-control system
- Its documentation, or access to its API, database or exports
- Network access to the server where events are stored
What you receive
- A connector running on your server or in an environment you choose
- An event database that belongs to you
- A written guide to how the connector works
Questions
Yes, as well as turnstiles and card readers. Our demonstration panel, for example, talks to UNV face-recognition terminals through their LAPI interface.
No. We work with the equipment already on site; Stackline doesn't sell devices.
Automatically, at a fixed interval chosen by how fresh you need the data to be. Nobody has to run exports.
No. It only reads events. Writing permissions back is a separate step, done only at your written request.
The connector checks each batch and flags missing or duplicate events for review, so gaps never pass unnoticed.
