Guard Tour Management systems work through the use of waypoint badges or positioning beacons, placed along a predetermined route, which scan a specially adapted radio.
The information is then sent back to a central computer located in a dispatch suite which acts as a time and date record of a patrol. Voice, text and status messages are also recorded at the dispatch centre for future monitoring, audit and resource planning. Custom reporting can be programmed to provide outputs for Health and Safety reporting.
Guard Tour Management systems are extremely effective for the monitoring and management of security rounds, where a patrol is laid out to be followed by security guards.
It is also a valuable tool in the following industries:
Other functions can be added to Guard Tour Management systems including mandown systems. A tilt level sensor can trigger an alarm if the radio is tilted beyond a pre-programmed threshold (usually 45, 60 or 90 degrees). Additionally panic alarms can be activated using a single press of a panic button.
Whilst their engineers strive to provide a rapid response to any issues; they also work with you ensuring compliance with industry standards and licensing parameters. They have assisted in the development of our system, working flexibly to accommodate our requirements.
We review performance regularly and to date we have found them to have the technical expertise and professionalism demanded of our business.
Prior to the installation of our current system onsite communications were poor. Eemits Communications offered us guidance and advice on the different technologies available and delivered a highly effective system on time and within our budget. Its success has led to other departments using the system.
Eemits have offered help and at times assisted us with difficulties that, without them, we would have struggled to resolve.
We continue to use their support services and would happily recommend them to any other company who need a robust communications system combined with a support team.
