A Security Guard Patrol System Built Around Proof
A security guard patrol system should answer one simple question: did the patrol happen?
Guard Tour Log gives guards a simple way to record their rounds without complicated dashboards or proprietary checkpoint hardware. Guards scan QR checkpoints, record incidents and finish the shift with a clear PDF patrol report that can be shared with a supervisor or client.
How the patrol system works
- 1
Scan
The guard scans a QR checkpoint at each point on the patrol route.
- 2
Record
Each scan is recorded with its time and available location data. Incidents can also be documented with notes and photos.
- 3
Report
At the end of the shift, the patrol can be exported as a clear PDF report showing what happened during the round.
QR checkpoint patrol — a record at every point
Put QR checkpoints at the places that matter: an entrance, equipment yard, perimeter, server room or other patrol point.
As the guard walks the route, each scan creates a timestamped checkpoint record. When location data is available, it can be included as additional context.
No proprietary checkpoint hardware is required — Guard Tour Log uses printable QR checkpoints.
See what was completed, late or missed
Scheduled Patrols let guards work against planned patrol rounds instead of simply collecting scans.
The resulting patrol record makes it easy to see what was expected and what actually happened — including completed, late and missed checkpoint activity.
Every patrol becomes a report
At the end of the shift, Guard Tour Log produces a clean PDF patrol report with checkpoint activity, timestamps and documented incidents. It's a professional record that can be shared with a supervisor, property manager, general contractor or client.
