Prove presence, not just performance

In physical security, it’s not enough that a guard starts a tour—you must be able to prove it was executed at the right time, at the right checkpoints, in the right order. Properly documented patrols underpin trust, accountability, and auditability for both clients and supervisors.


From paper logs to real-time evidence

Manual logs are slow and error-prone. With Trinity Guard you capture tamper-resistant data in real time:

  • GPS presence at outdoor checkpoints.
  • QR code scans for indoor verification.
  • Instant cloud sync for every scan and event.
  • Deviation alerts if a point is skipped or route/order is wrong.

Supervisor visibility — as it happens

Supervisors get a live view of route execution and can intervene before an incident escalates. Clients can optionally receive read-only access for full transparency and reduced disputes.


AI that watches the watch — Trinity Agent

Trinity Agent, our embedded AI, continuously analyzes patrol data to detect anomalies and reduce human error:

  • Late or missed shift start.
  • Out-of-sequence checkpoint scans.
  • Fake or duplicated QR codes detected.
  • Inconsistent or missing incident reports.

Why documentation matters

  • Proves service delivery with timestamps and GPS data.
  • Enables audits and regulatory compliance checks.
  • Strengthens client trust with shareable logs.
  • Improves operational efficiency and training.

All in one mobile app

  • Works on iOS and Android smartphones.
  • GPS outdoors, QR checkpoints indoors.
  • Photo and signature-based incident reports.
  • Automated KPI dashboards for managers.

FAQ — Patrol Documentation & Trinity Guard

Why is patrol documentation critical?
It proves presence and accountability with objective data, ensuring service quality, dispute resolution, and audit readiness for clients and regulators.
How does Trinity Guard verify patrols?
Guards scan QR checkpoints indoors and rely on GPS outdoors; every scan and event is timestamped and uploaded instantly to the cloud, creating a tamper-resistant log.
Does it work both indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Trinity Guard supports GPS, QR code checkpoints, and mixed routes, so you can document patrols in buildings, parking lots, industrial sites, and perimeter areas.
What happens if a guard misses a point?
Trinity Agent analyzes execution in real time and pushes alerts when checkpoints are skipped, done out of sequence, or performed outside the allowed time window—so supervisors can react immediately.
