Patrol Monitoring

Patrol Tagging Using NFC & GPS

With a heritage in the security industry that goes back to the late 1990s, we've witnessed many ways that traditional guard patrolling systems fall down when pitted against an enterprising and determined guard. Deploying our Patrol Logger app to your sites gives you a reliable and secure way to confirm that patrols are being carried out as per your assignment instructions.

 

Secure & Reliable Security Tags

Our Patrol Logger application features several security countermeasures to ensure tamper-proof patrol logging; features such as:

  • Three types of tag with three levels of security:
  • NFC & GPS (for outdoor use)
  • NFC only (for indoor use)
  • NFC Instant (for asset tagging
  • All tags are available in both standard and tamper-reporting variants
  • Three levels of encryption to ensure communication between tag & app, then app & server remain secure.
  • Further parity checking at both app and server end.

Integrated Incident Reporting & Digital Notes

Helping security businesses to take steps towards paperless operations by allowing digital note-taking and an electronic daily occurrence book (DOB). Log incidents in real time as your security guards patrol encouraging more accurate time-stamping for better incident management.

Operational & Client Reporting

At a glance patrol compliance monitoring for your back office team, allowing training needs to be identified and fed back to the guard force in real time, combined with the ability to generate daily occurrence logs which include guard location monitoring for both client and internal use.

Along with traditional reports; patrol logs can be output to a mapping file which can be loaded in to your preferred GIS system and played back.

Questions? You’re Covered

Some questions we've been asked over the years:

The patrol compliance parameters are entirely up to you - setting the maximum gap between patrols and the number of tags that you expect your guards to visit per patrol are set on a site-by-site basis.

Our patrol management software is currently available in English Language and has been tried and tested in the UK for several years. The software is currently designed for businesses that operate in a single time zone. Contact us to trial the software in your country.

Unlike wand based systems, the data from the Guard Management Systems Patrol Logger app is sent through to your office in near real-time. There's no expensive bespoke hardware, no docking stations, and no bespoke cables to replace if the system ever gets damaged.

There are two versions of the client patrol log which are available; one featuring both notes and patrol tag locations, and the other only showing notes. These reports can be generated at any time, or sent over on a daily or weekly basis automatically.
