Cinq critères avant de choisir (transcription anglaise)
Before choosing a guard tour system
How much does a guard tour system cost, and how do you choose one that fits your team? Before comparing a monthly fee, check what the system records, how officers use it, and what you are paying for. We will cover five decisions using PatrolTech examples: checkpoints, evidence, pricing, capacity, and a pilot. The dashboard and mobile footage comes from real recordings of our demonstration account.
1 · Count checkpoints, not just people
A checkpoint is a physical place that officers need to visit, such as a door, a parking area, or a sensitive location. It is different from an officer or a dashboard manager account. Before requesting a quote, count your checkpoints and the sites where they are located. PatrolTech pricing is based on checkpoints, with unlimited guards on every plan. Dashboard manager accounts have separate limits. Keep those three quantities apart when comparing a proposal.
2 · Check the evidence behind each visit
Do not choose an app just because it can scan a code. Check what you can review afterward: the checkpoint, the person, and the date and time of the visit. This real recording shows a QR scan and its confirmation. We then review the dashboard records. A received scan and a completed patrol route are separate checks. If you need to document the service, test the filters and open the actual document you plan to share with a client.
3 · Match QR or NFC to your site
For QR, the phone needs to focus on and read the code placed at the checkpoint. If you prefer NFC, check the phone compatibility and the tags you plan to install. Do not assume every device works the same way. Decide whether you also need additional location checks. This guide shows a QR example. It is not an NFC test or a live GPS map demonstration. Always distinguish available features from items marked as coming soon.
4 · Work through a real pricing example
Here are monthly US dollar examples from the PatrolTech price catalog, checked on October twenty first, twenty twenty six. The free plan covers up to five checkpoints. Pro includes ten checkpoints for twenty nine dollars per month, with two dollars for each additional checkpoint. At twenty checkpoints, that Pro example is forty nine dollars per month. Do not multiply the fee by your officer count. In this pricing model, we are counting physical checkpoints.
4 · Compare the total as your site grows
At forty checkpoints, Pro would cost eighty nine dollars per month, while Business includes those forty checkpoints for seventy nine dollars. That is why it helps to recalculate before expanding. These examples use the US dollar price catalog. Euro prices have a separate price book; they are not currency conversions. Check current prices, applicable taxes, and terms. If you choose annual billing, compare the full yearly commitment and plan limits rather than only a monthly equivalent.
5 · Review sites, managers, and history
The lowest checkpoint price may still be a poor fit for your operation. In the reviewed catalog, Pro supports three sites and five dashboard managers, with twelve months of history. Business increases those limits to fifteen sites, twenty managers, and unlimited history. Keep guards separate from the managers who access the dashboard. Also distinguish production features from planned ones. A GPS map marked as coming soon should not become a promise that it is available today.
Run a small pilot before expanding
Set up two checkpoints at one site and test the workflow with your team. Check the scan, the confirmation, and the records received by the supervisor. Review an incident and open the available report before sharing it. If your operation needs offline use, include a real disconnection and synchronization test before purchasing. That test is not shown here. The purpose of a pilot is to confirm that the daily workflow and evidence match your assignment.
Your next step
Use five checks when choosing: physical checkpoints, visit evidence, total cost, plan limits, and a pilot. Current pricing and free account access are linked in the description. Start with a small site, then use the complete channel demo to configure your first patrol route. Expand once you know your checkpoint count and your team understands the process. Always review current terms before making a decision.
