What is guard patrol system ？ Security guard company need to install this system ?
Guard patrol system, in a narrow sense, is a part of security management system used to supervise and manage the daily patrol work of security officers . In the process of digital transformation in the security industry, more and more security companies are equipping and using electronic guard patrol systems.
Of course, in a broader sense, electronic guard patrol systems are not only applicable to the security industry but also to any field that requires patrols. For example, for forest rangers, whether they effectively complete their daily patrol work is an important factor in fire prevention.
Today, let’s focus on the electronic guard patrol system in the security industry. Electronic guard patrol systems can be divided into offline and online type . For offline type , security guards carry patrol batons, patrol along the designated route, and then insert the patrol baton into the system’s information transmission unit to upload the relevant information to the backend.
For online type , there are 2 main types also , one is when security guard scanned check point , information will be sent to server immediately with GPRS, or TCP/IP.
The advantage of an electronic guard patrol system is that machines replace manpower to accomplish precise supervision work. Management personnel only need to view reports in the backend to know who is fulfilling their duties and who is slacking off. In the absence of an electronic guard patrol system, management relies more on the responsibility of security guards, which is obviously unreliable.
As for whether security companies need to adopt an electronic guard patrol system, I personally believe it is absolutely necessary and should be installed as soon as possible. The competition between future security companies will be a digital competition and an efficiency competition. Traditional security companies will face increasingly severe tests and competitive environments.”
