5. How to Set up the Attendance System?

This is a process that only needs to be done once for a user:
  1. Click on Capture Face
  2. Enter Id and Name and press Submit
  3. Look into the Camera until the progress bar is completely. Then it will automatically close.
  4. Then click on Train Images. This is important to do; otherwise, it will result in multiple errors
Now whenever you need to use the software, just:
  1. Once the training is complete, you can now click on Attendance Mode
  2. Once attendance is complete, just click back to menu to quit and the Attendance will be saved!
  3. (Optional) You can also auto-email this to a person, just don't forget to initially add your password and email id to the python file!

And your GUI is good to go!
