Guardian Sync: Real time tracking with face recognition and attendance monitoring system

This paper presents the design and implementation of a child safety system integrating real-time attendance and location tracking.It features a React Native mobile app and a MERN-based web portal.The system allows users to register children, verify identities via live face recognition, and log attendance actions ("Picked up," "Dropped," "Absent").Real-time location tracking enhances safety, displaying user movement on a Vite-powered web portal.Upon successful identity verification, SMS notifications inform parents of their child's status.The system ensures robust security by leveraging real-time data and advanced authentication mechanisms.This paper explores the technological challenges, scalability concerns, and implementation strategies used to develop a secure and user-friendly solution for child protection.The proposed approach offers a seamless, data-driven method to enhance parental awareness and improve school transportation safety.
