Guard-Alert Electronics unveils the Guard Monitoring Unit, a device which works hand in hand with your manned security services and enhances security at your premises.

The Guard Monitoring Unit ensures that the guard posted at your property is doing his job properly by patrolling in accordance with his pre-set patrol patterns? The device also works as a back-up device in case the guard is attacked as it will alert you if the guard has not patrolled as per the agreed points.

The Guard Monitoring Unit monitors the movement of your guards through a pre-set pattern of patrolling and therefore ensures that the guard checks every pre-set point on your property ensuring complete security coverage.

The Guard Patrol Monitoring system works through both GPS and GPRS networks in real time for   immediate assessment or for post activity assessment as the system is capable of recording the Guards’ activity for viewing of footage after the event. The Guard Patrol Monitoring system is ideal for companies, private residences, shopping centres, cluster homes and private neighbourhood watches where monitoring of guards’ activities is desired, but the actual physical supervision of guards is not always practical or possible.

The Unit is programmed to send a message to the 24- hour controlled Guard-Alert Electronics Control Room if the guard fails to visit a patrol point at the specified time. The Guard-Alert Electronics Controller will then contact the client; or Guard-Alert Operations, and advise them that the Guard has not completed his designated patrol. Thereafter appropriate action can be taken, such as the deployment of a reaction vehicle and crew or Operations Supervisor to check if any adverse situation might have occurred at the premises. As added back-up the unit also comes with a panic button for the Guard on site to use in cases of emergencies. This is also linked to the Guard-Alert Electronics control room that will dispatch a Rapid Response Crew if necessary.

The Guard Monitoring Unit is supplied and installed at no charge to the client, though it will remain the property of Guard-Alert Electronics. A nominal monthly fee is charged to cover the hiring and monitoring of the device.
