A guard tour system in Singapore refers to a security solution used by security companies and building facilities to monitor and verify the movements and patrols of security personnel. These systems help ensure guards are performing their rounds at the right locations and times, and are a key part of compliance and quality control in building and asset protection.
Key Features of a Guard Tour System:
- Checkpoint Verification – Guards scan RFID/NFC tags, QR codes, or use GPS-enabled devices at designated checkpoints.
- Real-Time Tracking – Supervisors can monitor patrols live through a cloud-based dashboard or mobile app.
- Incident Reporting – Guards can report incidents with photos, notes, and audio.
- Automated Reports – Shift logs, missed checkpoints, and incident reports are automatically compiled.
- Mobile Integration – Many systems are app-based, compatible with Android and iOS.
