PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF PATROL MONITORING

The PSP is a small weatherproof computer with LCD readout. It contains an accurate clock and is powered by standard alkaline batteries which last several years. Each one contains a unique set of keys which are combined with the clock to generate a new “random” number every 5 minutes.

This “random” number is converted to one entry in a short list of computer phone numbers which is displayed on the LCD. The guard must read the display and use his cell phone to dial the selected computer phone number. The computer system registers the number dialled together with the caller ID. The appropriate ticket is updated if the right number is dialled, otherwise an exception is raised. The call is equivalent to a missed call, which does not attract a charge from the network.
Alternatively, if the guard’s cell phone is equipped with GPRS, the guard can enter the “random” number directly on a web page. This method adds additional functionality.
All PSP devices have the same “rank” in the system. This is important in being able to track supervisors, who move between sites, as well as guards who are stationed at a single site.

4.Using the Clock Schedule to set up the required route for each Post
5.Access to the Premises page is from the Client page, access to the Post page is from the Premises page, and so on…

THE PATROL CLOCK POINT

The Patrol Clock Point (PCP) is part of the Call Log Security system. Its function is to facilitate monitoring the activity of patrols of business or residential sites. The system can be used wherever there is GSM (cell phone) coverage.

One of the principle aims of the PCP approach is low cost and reliability. On site the only pieces of equipment necessary are the PCP modules themselves and the cell phones of the guards. There are no radio transmitters/repeaters required or download points.

There are no batons, nor are there clocking points that require a card or token. In fact there are no pieces of equipment that require physical contact, which gives the system its reliability.

While the Patrol Clock Point is targeted at the guarding industry, it has application in other areas wherever people are employed to provide a service to clients on a regular basis (e.g. cleaners).
