Mark, there is a few alternatives listed here http://www.nexudus.com/en/blog/read/292950659/the-art-of-checking-members-in-and-out. Specially network (WiFi/wired) check-in may be a good compromise. It obviously doesn't offer any of the security, but it is pretty easy to install. unobtrusive and it generally delivers good results and it is pretty accurate in telling you who and other members who is in and out of the space.
