GPS checkpoint verification for security guard rounds. Real-time proof guards completed their patrol route.

The Patrol Problem

Clients pay for regular patrols but you can't prove guards are completing rounds:

Paper logs easily faked or lost
NFC tags require physical installation and maintenance
QR codes fade or get vandalized
No way to know a checkpoint was missed until the shift ends

GPS-Based Checkpoints

GSOC uses GPS geofencing instead of physical tags:

Set checkpoints on a map (building corners, parking entrances, loading docks)
Guard must physically walk to within 30 meters to scan
App records GPS coordinates, timestamp, and optional photo
Works even with weak cell signal - syncs when connection returns

Real-Time Missed Checkpoint Alerts

Set required patrol frequency (every 2 hours, for example). If a guard doesn't scan a checkpoint on schedule, you get an alert immediately - not the next morning.

Route Playback

See the guard's complete patrol path on a map. Shows every checkpoint scan with timestamp, plus their GPS track between checkpoints.

Client Reporting

Export patrol logs to PDF for client delivery. Shows every checkpoint visited, time, GPS coordinates, and any photos or notes the guard added.

How It Works

Set checkpoints: Place GPS markers on a map at the locations guards must patrol
Assign schedule: Specify patrol frequency (every hour, every 2 hours, etc.)
Guards scan: Guard opens the mobile app, walks to each checkpoint, and scans when in range
Track compliance: Dashboard shows all completed and missed scans in real-time

Built Into GSOC

Common Questions

What if GPS signal is blocked (underground parking)?
Guards can scan as soon as signal returns and note the delay. The app stores the scan attempt timestamp. For permanent dead zones, use a photo-based checkpoint instead.

Can guards fake their location?
The app detects GPS spoofing apps and refuses to log scans if location data looks manipulated.

How close do they need to be?
30 meters (about 100 feet). You can tighten it to 10 meters for sensitive checkpoints or widen it to 50 meters for large patrol areas.

Do clients see this?
Yes, if you give them portal access. Clients can view patrol history, checkpoint scans, and export reports - but can't change patrol routes or schedules.
