The problem

You can't be on every site. But you're liable for every one.

Guards fall asleep. Posts go unmanned. Clients find out. Insurance asks questions. Three of the most common calls we hear from security company owners.

The 3am shift

Guards are human. The hardest hours of the night are the ones you're least able to check. By the time a client calls, it's been hours.

The 6am surprise

Client calls to say the post was unmanned for two hours. You pull the timesheet. The guard says they were there. No way to prove otherwise.

The insurance audit

When an incident happens, the first question is "show me proof of duty of care." A timesheet isn't proof. A PDF report generated on the spot is.

How it works

From sign-in to proof in three steps

No new hardware. No new SIMs. Guards use the phone in their pocket.

1

Guards pick up the preloaded tablet

No IT setup. No app installs. Pre-loaded Samsung tablets, ready on day one.

2

Random spot checks fire through the shift

Every 30–50 minutes, an alert asks the guard to confirm they're alert and at their post. Missed checks escalate automatically — flash, beep, vibrate. On Pro, GPS is captured with every check.

3

You see everything, live, on one dashboard

Open the TL dashboard on desktop or mobile. Every guard, every site, every shift — in real time. Export a PDF report in two clicks. Handovers, incidents and the calendar are all in one place.

Features

Everything you need to prove the shift happened

Built by people who've managed guard teams. Every feature maps to a real-world problem.

Random spot checks

Unpredictable timing, escalating alerts. Guards can't predict or game them.

Live TL dashboard

One screen. Every guard, every site, every status — updated in real time.

Shift handovers

Guards log notes on sign-out. The next guard sees them on sign-in. Nothing falls through the cracks.

One-tap incident reporting

Guards log incidents in seconds, with photos and timestamps. TLs see them in the activity feed instantly.

PDF compliance reports

Per-guard, per-shift, per-site. Pull a report in two clicks. Audit-ready, client-ready.

Multi-site, multi-client

One dashboard across all your contracts. Filter by site, by client, by guard.

Preloaded Samsung tablet

Every guard gets a purpose-built Samsung tablet, pre-configured and signed in. No BYOD. No IT setup. No "did you install the app?".

The spot check system

Built so guards can't beat it

Three layers of design that make gaming the system impossible. This is the part competitors copy badly.

01

Randomised server-side timing

The next spot check is scheduled on our server, not on the guard's device. Guards can't read the source, can't set a clock trigger, can't predict when the next alert will fire. The window itself jitters by ±25% on top of that.

02

Tamper-evident response

Every check is a single tap on the tablet, logged with a server timestamp, the response time, and — on Pro — the GPS location. The record can't be edited after the fact. It's the data a court or insurer will actually accept.

03

Automatic escalation

Miss a check and the alert escalates: silent flash, then quiet beeps, then loud beeps and vibration. If still missed after the window, the TL gets a notification in under two minutes. There's no "snooze" and no "I'll do it in a minute".

Result: 12 spot checks per shift, with sub-15-second average response time, and a missed-check rate of less than 2%.

Pro tier

Know the guard is at the post — not at home

The first question every security owner asks: "can the guard do it from their sofa?" GPS verification answers it with a pin on a map.

  • Every spot check is captured with the guard's live GPS coordinates.
  • The TL dashboard shows the post location alongside the guard's location. If they don't match, the row turns amber.
  • The PDF report includes location data for every check. Audit-ready, client-ready.

The guard experience

Tough enough for the 3am shift. Simple enough to use one-handed.

The guard's app is designed for someone on their fourth night shift, half-asleep, with numb fingers. One tap to confirm a spot check. No typing, no menus, no friction. They can't get it wrong.

  • Spot check alert fills the whole screen — impossible to miss, impossible to ignore
  • Single-tap confirm. No codes, no passwords, no "I forgot my PIN"
  • Incident log is one button + optional photo. Voice notes supported
  • Always on, always in foreground. Battery is managed automatically
  • Sign-out includes a structured handover form — no more "did you tell the day guy?"

Common questions

Most teams are live the same day. We set up your guards, your sites, and your TL accounts. The first shift usually runs GuardRadar within 24 hours of signup.
No — we provide it. Every guard gets a preconfigured Samsung tablet with GuardRadar already installed and signed in. No BYOD, no "did you install the app?", no IT setup on your end. Tablets are shipped ready to use on day one.
No. On Pro tier, every spot check captures the guard's live GPS coordinates and logs them with the response. The TL sees the post location and the guard's location on the dashboard. If they don't match, the row turns amber.
The alert escalates — silent flash, then quiet beeps, then loud beeps and vibration. If still missed, the TL is notified within two minutes. Missed checks are logged in the report, with timestamps and (on Pro) the GPS location at the time.
Three layers. (1) The next check is scheduled server-side with a ±25% random jitter on the timing — guards can't predict it. (2) Every check is logged with a server timestamp and response time — the record can't be edited after the fact. (3) Missed checks escalate automatically and the TL is notified in under two minutes. There's no snooze and no "I'll do it in a minute".
Yes. Pro and Enterprise support unlimited sites. You can filter the dashboard by site, by client, or by guard. Each client can also receive their own scoped reports.
Every spot check, response, and miss is timestamped and stored. PDF reports include a full audit trail. We've had customers hand these directly to their insurer and to client compliance teams.
No long contracts. Pay monthly, cancel any time. Enterprise customers can opt into annual terms for a discount.
