Frequently Asked Questions

Pratyak is an AI-powered attendance management system that uses facial recognition to automate student and staff attendance across classrooms, hostels, and campus entry/exit points. It integrates deeply with FretBox campus management solutions.

Pratyak is designed for universities, colleges, schools, coaching centres, and training centres. Whether you have 200 students or 20,000, Pratyak scales to fit your campus size and operational needs.

Pratyak achieves 99.4% recognition accuracy under standard lighting conditions. The AI model is trained on diverse datasets and continuously improves with each campus deployment. It handles glasses, masks, and varying lighting conditions effectively.

A standard campus deployment takes 3–7 working days, including camera assessment, software installation, student face enrollment, and staff training. FretBox-integrated campuses can go live in as little as 72 hours.

Not necessarily. Pratyak works with most existing IP/CCTV cameras (2MP+, RTSP-compatible). Our technical team will assess your current infrastructure during the pilot setup and recommend upgrades only if required.

Pratyak has a full offline mode. Cameras capture and process attendance locally on the edge device. Data syncs automatically to the server when connectivity is restored — no session is ever lost.

Yes. Pratyak offers REST API and webhook-based integrations with most campus management platforms. Native integration is available for FretBox users, and custom integrations can be scoped during onboarding.

Yes. Pratyak includes a mobile-responsive web dashboard and a dedicated mobile app for administrators and faculty. Teachers can view real-time attendance, override records, and receive alerts directly from their phones.

Absolutely. Face vectors are encrypted with AES-256 and stored separately from identity data. We comply with Indian data protection guidelines and offer on-premise deployment for campuses with strict data residency requirements.

Yes. Pratyak includes a consent management module. Students and guardians are informed during enrollment, and institutions can configure consent workflows to meet their local regulatory requirements.

Yes. Pratyak provides a data lifecycle management panel. Administrators can permanently delete individual student face vectors and associated records at any time, with an audit trail for compliance purposes.

Pratyak is priced per campus, not per student. You pay a flat annual or semester fee regardless of how many students are enrolled — making it highly cost-effective as your campus grows.

Yes. All plans include a 30-day live pilot period. We'll set up Pratyak in 2–3 classrooms of your choice, run live sessions, and give you full access to reports before you commit.

Pratyak activates as a module within your existing FretBox installation. Existing FretBox campuses receive a 20% discount and can typically go live within 72 hours.

No hidden charges. All plans include onboarding, camera assessment, staff training, and 12 months of technical support. Hardware procurement (if needed) is quoted separately and transparently.
