Question 1

What is a guard patrol system?

Accepted Answer

A guard patrol system uses GPS tracking and RFID/NFC checkpoint scanning to monitor security guard patrols in real time. Supervisors can verify that guards complete their tours, visit every checkpoint on schedule, and respond to incidents — with full digital accountability and audit trails.

Question 2

How does GPS guard tracking work?

Accepted Answer

GPS guard tracking uses a wearable or vehicle-mounted device to transmit each guard's live location to a control-room dashboard. BetaTrac's eGuard platform overlays patrol routes, checkpoints, and incident alerts on a live map so supervisors always know where their team is and can dispatch the nearest responder.

Question 3

How does Rapid Armed Response vehicle location work?

Accepted Answer

Each armed response vehicle carries a live GPS tracking unit. When a security guard raises a panic alert on their eGuard device, AIMSS immediately locates the nearest armed response vehicle and streams its live position to the control room, so backup can be dispatched in seconds — with journey playback to review every response run afterwards.

Question 4

What fleet management does BetaTrac offer?

Accepted Answer

BetaTrac's vehicle tracking is built for armed response fleets — not general fleet software. RapidTrac Compact gives control rooms live GPS location of every armed response vehicle, and AIMSS adds management reporting on response-vehicle whereabouts, driving conditions, and journey playback, so guard support operations stay accountable end to end.

Question 5

What is a digital occurrence book?

Accepted Answer

A digital occurrence book replaces the paper incident register at a security post. Guards log every event, visitor, and incident digitally via the ePatrol or eVision app — time-stamped, geotagged, and instantly synced to the control room and AIMSS management platform for real-time oversight.

Question 6

How does a guard reporting app work?

Accepted Answer

A guard reporting app lets field officers capture incidents on their mobile device — photo, audio, location, and a written or voice-to-text narrative. BetaTrac's eVision app uses AI to convert spoken notes into structured draft reports, cutting admin time and improving report accuracy.
