A security tour guard system is designed to help manage and monitor the activities of security personnel as they patrol a facility. Here’s a basic overview of how such systems typically work:

1. Patrol Software: This is the central system that manages tour schedules, logs, and reports. It can be accessed via computers.

2. Hardware Devices: These can include handheld devices for guards and RFID/NFC tags placed at checkpoints around the facility.

3. Checkpoints: Locations throughout the facility where guards need to check in. These can be physical tags.

4. Monitoring Station: A central location where supervisors or control room staff can monitor the status of all patrols.

1. Scheduling: Supervisors set up patrol routes and schedules in the patrol software. This includes specifying which guards are assigned to which routes and at what times.

2. Patrolling: Guards carry handheld devices to follow their assigned patrol routes. They check in at designated checkpoints by scanning RFID tags.

3. Data Collection: As guards move through their routes, the system collects data on their location and the time spent at each checkpoint. 

4. Reporting: After completing their shifts, guards can submit detailed reports through the system. The software can generate reports on patrol activity, incidents, and any issues encountered.

Benefits

• Increased Accountability: Guards are held accountable for their patrols with accurate.

• Improved Efficiency: Automated scheduling and reporting streamline operations and reduce manual errors.

• Enhanced Security: Continuous monitoring and reporting help ensure that all areas are being patrolled as required.

• Data Insights: Analyzing patrol data can help identify trends, areas of concern, and opportunities for improving security protocols.
