Patrol rounds
A guard tour system digitizes patrol rounds and replaces the mechanical clocks and data collectors used in the past. Guards scan checkpoints via smartphone — time, location and user are recorded automatically and tamper-proof. Electronic data collectors first replaced mechanical clock systems in the 1990s. Today, smartphone apps handle the task even more reliably: patrols can be tracked in real time, deviations are flagged instantly, and documentation is fully audit-proof.

Guard Tour System Comparison: Digital vs. Classic
Classic guard tour systems use mechanical clocks or data collectors. Evaluation happens with a delay at a PC, and photos or GPS data are missing. Modern guard tour systems like LiteLog use smartphone apps with NFC or QR checkpoints instead. Patrols are transmitted in real time, incidents are captured with photo and location. Switching saves hardware costs, reduces administrative effort and gives clients reliable proof of service immediately.
- ✓No specialised hardware — existing smartphones are sufficient
- ✓Real-time data instead of delayed evaluation at a PC
- ✓Multimedia evidence with photo, GPS and timestamp
E-Guard Book – digital & automated
The e-guard book logs every patrol live and combines checkpoints, incidents and photos into a central record. Reports can be filtered by time period, site or incident type and sent automatically as PDF to clients or internal recipients. This gives clients regular audit-proof documentation in corporate design — without any manual effort from your team.
- ✓Real-time logging of photos & events
- ✓Filterable reports by time period, site & type
- ✓Automatic PDF reports in corporate design
Revier Service & Map-Based Verification
In mobile patrol and revier services, multiple locations are visited in a flexible order, often across large areas. The guard tour system records each checkpoint scan with time and GPS location and displays the results clearly on a map. Clients can see at a glance which sites were checked and when — eliminating follow-up questions and misunderstandings.
- ✓Mobile patrols across multiple locations
- ✓NFC or QR checkpoints in revier services
- ✓GPS verification of every scan time and location

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about LiteLog
What is a guard tour system?
A guard tour system is a digital solution used to monitor and document security patrols. Guards scan predefined checkpoints, and the system records time, location and user automatically.
How does a guard tour system work?
Checkpoints are placed along a patrol route. During the patrol, guards scan these points using a smartphone or device. The system logs each scan and creates a complete patrol record.
What is patrol tracking?
Patrol tracking is the process of digitally recording patrol rounds. It ensures that patrols are completed as planned and provides proof of presence at each checkpoint.
What is the difference between a guard tour system and a digital guard book?
The guard tour system captures patrol activity. The digital guard book is the resulting documentation that contains patrol logs, incidents, photos and timestamps.
Do I need special hardware for a guard tour system?
In most cases, a standard smartphone with NFC or GPS is sufficient. Rugged devices can be used for demanding environments. Learn more about hardware & equipment with LiteLog: /en/hardware-ausstattung.
Does a guard tour system work offline?
Yes. Patrol data can be recorded offline and is automatically synchronised once an internet connection is available.
What types of guard tour systems are available?
Traditional guard tour systems use mechanical clocks or data collectors. Modern guard tour systems like LiteLog run on smartphone apps with NFC/QR checkpoints, GPS live tracking and automated reports — no specialised hardware needed, with a complete audit-proof evidence chain.
Which use cases require a guard tour system?
Guard tour systems are used for security patrols, facility management, construction site monitoring, accommodations and industrial sites.
What are the benefits of a digital guard tour system compared to paper logs?
Digital guard tour systems prevent manipulation, reduce administrative effort and provide reliable proof of completed patrols.
