SKEPS-GT Guard Tour Management System

SKEPS-GT (GT) is an online patrolling management system developed based on SKEPS platform. It shares the same management application and database as Door Access System (DAS), Monitoring System (MS), Time Attendance System (TC), Payment Management System (POS), Human Tracking System (HTS) and etc. Please read the SKEPS Security Management Platform Manual for preliminary understanding and make sure that SKEPS system (at least CC and DAS) is pre-installed before using GT.

Before setting up any guard tour points, one need to setup controllers and access points using DAS so as to add in departments and staffs. Then only use GT application to decide whichever access point to be used as guard tour point and whoever staff to be in the patrolling team.

Guard tour route is a formation of several guard tour points. Dragging the point to the electronic map will give the patrolling guard a clearer view of the patrolling situation. The patrol routing can be set to “fixed” or “flexible” via system setting.

For ease administer, several patrolling groups consist of few patrolling guards can be setup. In GT application, 3 important phrases to take note are: “Shift”, “Shift Order” and “Shift Setting, for the convenient of schedule allocation.

A shift is formed from patrolling route, start time and end time. It can be fixed or flexible. Several shifts added in order to form a “Shift Order”. Last but not least, assign the order to group of patrolling groups.

During every shift duty, as long as a guard from the patrolling group flash his card will do, need not have all members from the group to flash their card on every point. But, once a person has flashed his card on the first point, he must carry out the inspection for all points, no interchanging of patrolling points half way through.

Current day “Guard Tour Shift” is displayed on the control interface. Double click on the shift route will lead to electronic map to have a clearer view on which point had been inspect and which point occurred alarm (did not reach at pre-defined time).

Guard tour schedule at “System Setting” >>> “System Schedule” is use to facilitate management personnel to administer GT operator to properly allocate patrolling group and patrolling frequency fulfilling request. For instance, require to strengthen the patrolling during the festive season.

GT will automatically record patrol task to date. If PC is not power up for 3 days and power up on the 4th day, GT will automatically generate the last 3 days records.

System supports multi-clients, but the 1st one to register on CC will have the privilege of managing patrolling task, the later that register with CC can only monitor the activities
