What is guard tour system?

A guard tour system is a system for logging the patrols of employees in a variety of situations. It helps ensure that the employee makes his or her appointed rounds at the correct intervals and can offer a virtually indisputable record for legal or insurance reasons. Essentially, the system provides a means to record the time when the employee reaches certain important points on their tour. A guard tour system consists of a reader, a usb cable, RFID tags, guard ID card and the software.

How does a guard tour system work?

The employee carries a reader which is activated at each checkpoint. The checkpoints can consist of proximity microchips such as RFIDs Tags. During the patrol the reader stores the serial number of the checkpoint with the date and the time. Once completed, the information is downloaded from the reader into a computer where the checkpoint's serial number will have an assigned location (i.e. North Door, Cell Number 1, etc.). The reader can also be programmed to ignore duplicate checkpoint activations that occur sequentially or within a certain time period. Computer software used to compile the data from the reader can print out reports that pinpoint the missed checkpoints or patrols. Then the administrator doesn't have to review all the data collected

Usage of Reader

    • Checkpoints reading :Hold the head of the reader near the RFID card within 3-4 cms of the checkpoint. The reader will collect the data of the RFID card automatically instead of collecting by contacting. A “Beep” with flash confirms a successful reading.
    • Data download :First, connect one end of the USB cable with reader and the other end with the USB port of computer; then open the software --- click “data reading”, the patrolling data will be displayed on the interface. Click button “save” to save the data in the software.

    • Two flashes when reading means the battery is low, please replace with a new one.
    • Three "Beeps" when reading means that reader’s time is not correct. Please connect the reader with computer for synchronizing.
    • Four "Beep" when reading means that the card should be read again.
    • Six "Beeps" when reading mean that the memory of the reader has reached the maximum capacity. The data should be uploaded to the computer to free some space
