The new generation of guard tour reporting software for
GCS® Data Acquisition Units
TopGuard Patrol – flexible and
user-friendly. The TopGuard Patrol software makes it easy to
set up tours, download and evaluate collected data and prepare reports,
which may be saved and/or e-mailed in HTML or PDF format. It is also a
communication utility for all GCS data acquisition units. It uses an MS
Access® database and the most modern programming tools, making it
powerful yet easy to use. TopGuard Patrol features fully user-editable
text fields that allow the software to be customized to accommodate any
data collection application, including maintenance, service, cleaning,
attendance and asset tracking. And TopGuard Patrol can be quickly
configured to display in a variety of languages.
TopGuard Patrol - For basic reporting needs. TopGuard
Patrol* is included in the ProxiPen system kit and has one comprehensive
evaluation report. Up to 1,750 data media (magnetic data strips, RFID
tags or optical bar codes) can be programmed as incidents, personnel or
control points in up to 16 programmed tours.
TopGuard Patrol PLUS - For more complex reporting requirements. TopGuard
Patrol PLUS is an innovative new upgrade to our well-proven and
widely-used WinArgus software, but includes additional features, such as
the ability to create maps of tours using imported JPG or BMP graphic
images. It includes 8 different report formats, and allows up to 7,500
data media (magnetic data strips, RFID tags or optical bar codes) to be
programmed as incidents, personnel, breaks or control points in up to
250 programmed tours. TopGuard Patrol PLUS comes with and requires a
copy protection plug (dongle) in order to operate.
Password Protection. Each time TopGuard Patrol is
started, the password is requested. You may log in as the administrator
or a user, as required. This prevents unauthorized access to master
files and configuration of data acquisition units. The downloaded data
is also protected by a CRC checksum to prevent manipulation.
Programming
and Downloading. Tours are easily defined by manually entering
or downloading control points from a data acquisition unit into a
control point “pool.”
Collected data is evaluated immediately after downloading it to the
computer, and within seconds you can view the report on the screen. GCS
magnetic data strips, RFID tags and bar codes can be used as control
points or for predefined incidents or personnel identification. Reports
may be printed, saved to a file or sent by e-mail in native TopGuard
Patrol format, saved as an HTML file for viewing in a web browser, or
saved as an Adobe Acrobat® PDF file.
Wide Range of Reports. TopGuard Patrol includes one
report format, the full Summary Report. TopGuard Patrol PLUS includes
the following additional report formats:
• Personnel Report
• Control Point Report
• Incident Report
• Break Report
• Database History Report
• Exception Report
• Missing Control Point Report
Modem Transfer. Data transfer by modem allows recorded
data to be downloaded from different remote sites to a central station
for creating and evaluating reports at one central site. The recorded
data stays in the memory of the data acquisition unit until the local
modem confirms correct receipt of all data. The PP-Modem utility,
included with TopGuard Patrol, communicates with and downloads the
remote devices.
Configuration of Data Acquisition and Transfer Units.
The built-in utility function communicates with all GCS ProxiPen and
Escorte data acquisition units and the ProxiPen data transfer unit. It
can be used to check the battery status, set the date and time, define
dialing parameters for data transfer by modem and other tasks.
