How to effectively manage security personnel

Guard Management Gauteng


Nearly half a million people are employed by the private security sector in South Africa in more than 9200 registered security enterprises. To manage and control such a large number of people can be a daunting task. Security companies must ensure that the guards are protected and that the guards effectively protect the assets that they are employed to safeguard.


On Guard Patrol Management in Gauteng offer guard patrol systems to individuals, large corporate companies and security companies that help keep track of the appointed rounds made/not made by on a site by the security personnel deployed there.


With the On Guard patrol Management system the time that a guard reaches a certain point on his/her watch is recorded and these records can be used for legal or insurance purposes. Checkpoints can also be placed at critical point of the tour watch, etc. vital equipment, access points, vaults. In the case where an employee fails to reach a certain point at a set interval, the security company can dispatch someone to check on the well-being of the employee.


The OnGuard unit patrol management system is not a guard-dependent system.  Guards are not permitted to decide when to patrol or if at all.  The OnGuard patrol management system consists of an OnGuard base unit with a GPRS modem.  Each unit has a 220 V transformer and a 12 V backup battery.  In the event of a power failure, your unit will continue to action guards for approximately 48 hours.   After this period, it will automatically shut down in order to protect the sensitive electronic equipment.Call the On Guard branch in Gauteng today for more information.

Online Guard Patrol Management system Features


The Online guard monitoring system effectively eliminates the problem of guards deciding when to patrol or if they are going to patrol at all. Other features included in the Guard clocking system are an On Guard base unit and a GPRS modem.


The guards use a patrol tag or IButton with which they touch the different patrol points while doing their rounds. Up to 16 random patrol points can be strategically placed throughout a site and the system can be pre-programmed in order to time the point-to-point visitation by the guard. Data is transmitted via the GPRS network to the control room/point allowing clients to view reports online. We provide usernames and passwords to our clients which enables them to log into the monitoring site.  Events such as incomplete or failed patrols can be managed effectively in real time. Online monitoring of the guards can be done via the On Guard Monitor screen, keeping the guards vigilant at all times.

A huge problem of guards on patrol is the fact that they fall asleep on the job. The Stay Awake button of the system effectively takes care of that problem.


With the high crime rates, no business in Johannesburg or Pretoria can afford to be without our On Guard Patrol System. We offer monthly On Guard Rental packages with the option of on-site maintenance and a warranty.
