How it works
GPS and NFC options
Choose the best capture method for each site. GPS confirms movement and dwell time. NFC tags confirm a precise checkpoint was visited. Combine both for high-risk zones.
Staff geolocation tracking with safeguards
See live locations of on-duty personnel. Configurable privacy rules and role-based access ensure tracking is proportionate and compliant.
Automated alerts and reporting
Missed checkpoint, route deviation or overdue inspection triggers alerts. Cal surfaces trends and exceptions so managers focus on action.
Security patrol logs you can trust
Define routes, checkpoints and time windows. SIRV records who performed each patrol, the locations visited and any exceptions, creating a security patrol log suitable for audits and client reporting.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs
How many NFC tags can we use?
As many as required. Most organisations use 100–200, some manage thousands. Tags are grouped by site for easy administration.
Which phones are supported?
Current Android and iOS devices are supported. NFC requires a device with NFC capability enabled in settings.
Why is NFC not working on my phone?
Check the device supports NFC, ensure NFC is switched on and present the phone flat to the tag for one to two seconds. Metal surfaces may require on-metal tags.
Is GPS reliable for proof of presence?
GPS is accurate outdoors to a few metres. For precise indoor confirmation or shielded areas, use NFC checkpoints alongside GPS.
What are the best NFC tags for patrols?
Use industrial grade, adhesive or screw-mount tags. For metal surfaces use on-metal (ferrite backed) tags. Choose a durable, high-memory chip if you store extra data.
Can we customise dashboards and reports?
Yes. Create role-specific dashboards and schedule reports to clients or supervisors.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Events queue on device and sync automatically when a connection returns.
