33.1 Patrol Routes

Patrol Routes

Patrol Routes can be used to ensure continuous orderly movement by security staff. They are required to clock at certain devices, in a specific order and of course within the specific time constraints. A Route Exception will occur if the assigned route is not adhered to.

A patrol route is allocated via Day Programs, giving us the option of having different routes for different days for different people.

Exceptions to routes are indicated on the Access Control report, identified by underlining the transaction (configured in the Report Creator).

Patrol Routes can include only one Device if need be, ensuring that security does indeed clock regularly.

Patrol Routes work independently to Access Control and Time & Attendance, but can also be merged. To merge patrol routes with T&A, you can make use of ‘Only First and Last Clockings’ option in Day Programs to calculate T&A (only if a T&A terminal is included in the route).

In the example above the security guard will need to start at East Turnstile then go to the Reception Door within 20 minutes to prevent a patrol breach. The next point to reach would be West Turnstile within 15 minutes.
