Patrol Verification Software

Patrol verification software that proves the work happened.

Sentinel Hound turns GPS check-ins, QR/NFC checkpoint scans, timed patrols, and photo evidence into a verification score and a client-ready report — so when a client asks “were your guards actually there?” you have the answer in writing.

Paper logs and screenshots don't hold up.

When a contract is questioned, “trust me, they were there” isn't evidence. Handwritten logs can be filled out from the break room, and a screenshot of a map proves nothing about what happened at 2 a.m. Patrol verification closes that gap by tying each part of the shift to a real location and time.

What gets verified

Four signals, one defensible record.

GPS check-ins

Officers check in with location at the start of a shift and throughout the patrol, so a site visit is backed by real coordinates and timestamps.

QR & NFC checkpoints

Scanning a checkpoint records exactly where the officer was and when — the difference between 'I walked the perimeter' and proof they did.

Timed patrol compliance

When a checkpoint runs overdue, Sentinel Hound automatically pings the officer and the admin, so gaps get caught during the shift, not after.

Photo & incident evidence

Photos and incident notes are logged in context, each carrying its own timestamp and location, and attached to the shift record.

The verification chain

From the first check-in to a report you can send.

01

Start check-in

The officer checks in at the assigned site. A valid guard card is required to start — expired or unverified cards are blocked.

02

Checkpoint scans

QR and NFC scans along the route build a location- and time-stamped trail of where the officer actually went.

03

Evidence attached

Photos, incident notes, and observations are captured in context as the shift unfolds.

04

Verification score

Signals are combined into a single 0–100 score that explains how well the shift was covered — not just that it happened.

05

Client-ready report

An officer report is generated automatically at shift end, ready to hand to a client as proof of service.

A score that explains itself.

Every shift gets a single verification score from 0 to 100. It isn't a black box — clients and supervisors can see exactly what it's built from:

  • Location signals collected across the shift
  • Checkpoints scanned vs. expected
  • Incidents documented with evidence
  • Timeline gaps and overdue checkpoints
