Guard Patrol System
Guard Patrol System
De Tag’s Guard Patrol System is an RFID-based security management solution trusted by shopping malls, hotels, office towers, condominiums, factories and schools across Malaysia. Guards carry a rugged RFID reader and scan checkpoints embedded along their patrol route — the system logs every scan with a timestamp, then generates detailed shift, daily and exception reports through the patrol management software. Managers get full visibility of guard activity without being on-site, and any missed checkpoint is flagged automatically.
How it works
The system operates on a simple scan-and-report principle. RFID checkpoints are embedded into walls at key locations around your building, forming the patrol route. Each guard carries a handheld reader and scans his personal Guard ID tag before starting patrol to identify himself. As he moves through the route, he scans each checkpoint — the reader stores every scan with the time and guard identity. At the end of the shift, the reader is placed on the communication base station, which transfers the data wirelessly to the patrol management software on your PC for reporting.
System Components
Reader
A rugged, aluminium-bodied RFID handheld device carried by the guard during patrol. Weatherproof, shock-resistant, and powered by a replaceable battery with up to one year of battery life. Stores up to 30,000 scans onboard.
Checkpoint
Passive RFID tags embedded into walls at designated patrol points. Tamper-resistant and weatherproof. Require no power supply and no maintenance once installed.
Guard ID
A personal RFID tag assigned to each guard. Guards scan their ID before starting patrol, allowing multiple guards to share a single reader while keeping records separate.
Communication Base Station
This base station is used to transfer data from the reader to the computer. It is connected wirelessly to the reader and connected by USB to the computer.
Software
The user friendly software will analyse and report the information of the patrol. It will effectively summarize the report according to the planned patrol route for quick and easy reporting. Missed checkpoints and late patrols are highlighted automatically.
System Features
Readers are housed in aluminium steel body with rubber moulding making them robust, weather proof and shock resistant.
Readers come with long battery life of around 1 year. Batteries are replaceable once batteries run out
High capacity data storage in reader up to 30,000 scans.
Checkpoints are highly tamper resistant and weather proof.
Checkpoints require no power hence require no maintenance.
User friendly patrol analysis by patrol software.
Checkpoint Installation Method
01
Location of checkpoint determined and wall will be drilled to prep the checkpoint installation.
02
Checkpoint is embedded into the wall ensuring that it is tamper resistant
03
Wall is plastered up to make sure checkpoint is secure and weatherproof
04
A signage is installed to indicate the location of the checkpoint for the guards to clock in

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are some popular questions that many new users may have
Does the system work outdoors?
Yes. Both the reader and checkpoints are weatherproof and designed for outdoor use. The reader’s aluminium and rubber construction handles rain, humidity and the Malaysian climate.
How many checkpoints can the system support?
There is no fixed limit on checkpoints per site. Routes are configured in the software and can be adjusted as your building layout changes.
What happens if a guard misses a checkpoint?
The patrol management software flags any missed checkpoint and any patrol that starts late or ends early. These exceptions are highlighted in the shift and daily reports.
Can one reader be shared by multiple guards?
Yes. Each guard scans their personal Guard ID tag before starting patrol, so all scans are attributed correctly even when guards share a reader across shifts.
Is installation disruptive?
Checkpoint installation requires drilling and plastering at each location, typically completed in a single day for most sites. Once installed, checkpoints require no further maintenance.
Installations can easily be done for existing and older buildings too.
Where are the checkpoints located?
Checkpoints locations are normally located at critical security points of the building that is determined by the building owner. We are able to jointly study the site and help to plan out the checkpoint locations if necessary.
Are there any restrictions to checkpoint locations?
Checkpoints can be installed almost anywhere. We have different types of checkpoints that can be installed on concrete, glass panels, aluminium and also metal surfaces.
