Hello forum users. Newbie here.
I will give you the scenario. I have a building with 5 staff and 3 doors. I want to be able to monitor when they pass through the doors. It's so there can be no dispute as to how long they have been on the premises, as you might expect. I know there are commercial solutions out there but they are pricey and I don't have the money to spare. What I do have is a background in mechanical and electrical engineering and software development. So I am looking to develop my own system from basic components. If I can buy a programmable fob that can be assigned a unique id, a transmitter/sensor (for the doorways) and a USB receiver for a PC .it would be a good place to start building a prototype. Does anyone have any idea where I can find this sort of stock or, indeed, whether these things exist at all? Thanks in advance.
