Suprema BioStar 2 Integration for Peoplifi

Suprema is a premium biometric brand widely used by enterprises that prioritize security and access control alongside attendance tracking. Peoplifi connects to BioStar 2 via its REST API, syncing attendance logs every 60 seconds into the Peoplifi attendance engine. Supported devices include BioStation A2, FaceStation F2, BioLite Net, XPass 2, and XPass D2, across both BioStar 2 Cloud and self-hosted deployments.

How it works

  1. Peoplifi connects to your BioStar 2 server (on-premise or cloud) via the BioStar REST API
  2. Every 60 seconds, Peoplifi polls for new events and pulls attendance logs
  3. Events are matched to Peoplifi employee records by User ID
  4. Attendance is calculated against each employee's shift pattern in real time
  5. Payroll runs pull attendance from Peoplifi — no direct BioStar access needed at payroll time

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Peoplifi require BioStar 2 Cloud or self-hosted?

Both are supported. For self-hosted BioStar 2, the server must be reachable by Peoplifi (public IP or VPN). For BioStar 2 Cloud, setup is simpler — just API credentials.

What about older BioStar 1 deployments?

BioStar 1 is supported via CSV import (manual). BioStar 2 API integration is strongly recommended; migration is straightforward.

Can Peoplifi also control door access?

No. Peoplifi consumes attendance events only. Door access rules remain in BioStar. We read events; we do not write access permissions.

Is biometric data stored in Peoplifi?

No. Biometric templates stay on the Suprema device or BioStar server. Peoplifi only ingests punch events and user IDs — never raw fingerprint or face data.
