Guard Tour System

A modern guard tour system built around proof.

A guard tour system records that officers walked the route they were supposed to. Sentinel Hound does that with the phone your team already carries — QR and NFC checkpoints, GPS-backed check-ins, and reports that prove the tour happened.

The workflow

From route to report in four moves.

Set the route

Place QR or NFC checkpoints at the spots that matter — entrances, stairwells, equipment, perimeter — and assign them to a site.

Officers scan as they go

On their phone, guards scan each checkpoint along the tour. No proprietary wand to charge, dock, or lose.

GPS backs every check-in

Check-ins and scans are recorded with location and time, so the tour is backed by where the officer actually was.

Proof comes out the other end

The tour becomes an officer report with a verification score, checkpoint history, and any incidents — ready for the client.
