Event Encoding is the attendance recording tool for authorized encoders. It replaces manual attendance sheets with QR scanning, keeps every record safely on your device until you have a connection, and uploads to the server in one step. IMPORTANT: This app requires a registered device and credentials issued by your coordinator. It cannot be used without them. SCAN TO RECORD ATTENDANCE The scanner detects the code type automatically and starts the right session for you. UPLOAD WHEN YOU'RE READY The upload screen lists everything still pending. Filter by status or search by ID to find a specific record. Upload in a single action and watch each row confirm as it completes. Duplicate records are detected and reported rather than silently sent twice. WORKS WITHOUT A CONNECTION Records are written to your device the moment you scan them. A weak signal or no signal at all doesn't stop you from encoding. Each record is clearly marked Pending until it reaches the server, then Uploaded, so you always know what's still outstanding. BUILT FOR FIELD USE • Daily reminders when records are waiting to be uploaded • Recent activity and summary views at a glance • Connection quality indicator so you know before you upload • Automatic date and time verification to keep records accurate • Clear error codes with plain-language explanations LEARN AS YOU GO A guided tour walks you through registration, scanning, and uploading using practice data — nothing you do in the tour touches real records or the server. A searchable help section answers common questions about code types, session rules, statuses, and error messages. DEVICE REGISTRATION Your registration type determines which sessions your device can run, so you only see what applies to your assignment.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EEA at 5.0 against Reolink's 4.0. EEA also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Reolink's advantage is ratings volume (9.9K vs 1) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
