Guard Tour terminal
Markus Guard Tour terminals are designed to control the movement of the security personal. System is designed that the night guard at round carries with him Guard Tour terminal, which is a contactless reader of tags that are attached to posts, which will be bypassed.
In addition to a contactless reader of patrol tags, Terminal also has a built-in clock.
Before the tour starts, guard needs to approach his own personal proximity key fob or card to the Guard Tour terminal, to record the start of his round.
Guard then goes on round - when he comes to the checkpoint, he nears Guard Tour terminal to contactless tag on control point and reads the code of this post. Guard Tour terminal also records time of each event.
At the end of his shift the guard returns to the control center, he puts Guard Tour terminal in seat for transmission of data, which is connected with USB cable to the computer. On this computer the program is loaded for transmission and processing of the collected data, which are transferred to an archive of events on the computer.
Supervisor can then later review the events recorded by the Guard Tour terminal and present reports in graphical or text form according to various criteria (guards names, dates, shifts, events etc.).
Individual Guard Tour terminal can be used by many guards. When the next takes the Guard Tour terminal after the first guard, he first approaches his personal identification card or key fob to the Guard Tour terminal - as of now all the events will be recorded by the last subscribed guard.
For the recording of events reported from a number of Guard Tour terminals, one seat for data transmission and one program for their treatment is enough.
