GuardPatrol is the modern way to manage security patrols. Built for guards in the field and supervisors back at the office, it replaces paper sign-in sheets and unreliable manual logs with verified NFC checkpoint scans, GPS-confirmed locations, and instant photo reports. Tap a checkpoint with your iPhone, and the patrol is logged in real time โ complete with timestamp, location, and the guard's identity. Supervisors see every scan as it happens, generate proof-of-patrol reports for clients, and respond to incidents the moment they're reported. DESIGNED FOR TWO ROLES โข Workers โ security guards on the ground. Scan checkpoints, submit incident reports with photos, log check-in/out times. โข Admins โ patrol supervisors and managers. Manage sites, checkpoints, and users; review every patrol; export reports for clients. KEY FEATURES โข NFC checkpoint scanning โ tap any standard NFC tag at a patrol point; the scan is recorded instantly with GPS verification. โข Photo incident reports โ attach photos directly from the camera or library to issue reports and check-in/out logs. โข Real-time activity โ every patrol scan appears immediately in the admin dashboard. โข Role-based access โ guards see only their own work; admins see the full operation. โข Site and checkpoint management โ admins can add, edit, and reorganise sites without involving developers. โข Offline-tolerant โ capture work in the field; data syncs when connection returns. โข Secure โ JWT-authenticated sessions, encrypted credential storage in iOS Keychain. DESIGNED FOR THE FIELD โข Works with any standard NTAG21x / MIFARE Ultralight NFC sticker โ no proprietary hardware to buy. โข Battery-friendly โ no continuous background scanning; only reads when the user initiates it. โข Built on iOS native frameworks for fast, reliable scans even in low-light conditions. GuardPatrol is operated by Accord Security. A subscription with Accord Security or an authorised reseller is required to use the service.
