Yes — every Cams Biometrics device ships with the Cams Biometric Gateway API enabled. The Gateway exposes a REST + webhook interface that connects to any ERP, HRMS, payroll, school management, or custom application. No SDK installation required.
What's the pricing for this device?
Pricing is quote-based and depends on the model, quantity and destination country. Email sales@camsbiometrics.com with your site count and country and we reply within one business day. There are no per-transaction fees and no user-count caps.
How long does integration take?
First attendance event flowing to your callback URL in under 12 minutes; full production workflow shipped in under 30 minutes. The API speaks raw JSON over HTTPS — works with PHP, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, C#.
