What is a Guard Tour system?

The Guard Tour system begins with a rugged reader that electronically records the checks performed by the guard touching memory buttons at different locations during the tour. The memory button can represent any location, event, or officer identified by the guard's tour software.

What to pay attention to when choosing a patrol system?

RFID Guard Tour systems all look similar, and you may need to spend a lot of time evaluating different products. But learning to identify the following 5 key qualities can make all the difference in a system.

1. Customer Support 

The Guard Tour system systems require ongoing management and support. Because they must change and adapt as the workplace evolves. Evaluate the design and support options offered by each vendor you are considering, and whether the vendor offers a warranty.

2. Availability

When comparing roving patrol systems, look for usability. You need a system that is easy to use and fits into a workflow that fits your guards' existing patrol patterns. If the system makes someone's job more difficult, no matter how much you spend on new technology or how strict the policies you establish, they will find a way to avoid it.

3. Tracking Capabilities 

Busy job sites require real-time tracking capabilities. Evaluate the tracking capabilities of each tracking system. Whether it will receive real-time results of the guard's location and whether it will work without interference.

4. Real-time data

One of the main benefits of digital automated tour management is the amount of new, actionable data you can collect. Each tag cancellation, arrival checkpoint, and real-time location record is entered into a central management system. As a result, you will collect a large amount of new data.

5. Durability

When you choosea Guard Tour system, you need to choose one that takes durability into account. Through drops, intense use, and even occasional intentional abuse, the durability of your guard tour system will be constantly tested in the field, day in and day out.

When looking at different Guard Tour systems, check the material of the reader and what the reviews say about durability. Also, check to see if the company you are buying from has any warranty on their system.
