Real-Time GPS Tracking for Security Guards

See where every guard is, right now. Live location tracking built for security operations.

Live Tracking, Built for Security

Know exactly where your guards are and what they’re doing.

Live Guard Map

See all on-duty guards on a real-time map from the dispatcher view. Monitor guard positions and status across all your client sites.

Checkpoint Verification

GPS-verified checkpoint scanning using QR codes and NFC tags. Prove guards are completing patrols at every required location.

Location History

Review historical location data for any guard, any date. Useful for investigating incidents, verifying client queries, or resolving disputes.

Site Geofencing

Configure GPS boundaries for each client site. Geofence data is stored with clock events to verify guards are within the expected area.

Battery Optimised

TacDesk uses interval-based location sampling rather than continuous GPS tracking, designed to balance accuracy with battery life throughout a shift.

Privacy Considered

Location tracking is tied to clock-in status. When a guard clocks out, tracking stops. Off-duty location is never tracked.

What Guards See on Their Phone

Guards use their phone to clock in, scan checkpoints, and verify their location — all GPS-tracked automatically.

Why Real-Time Tracking Matters

When a client calls asking whether your guard checked the loading bay at 2am, you need an answer — not a promise to investigate. GPS tracking and checkpoint verification give you that answer instantly.

For mobile patrols, checkpoint scanning proves route completion. For static guards, GPS clock-in verifies presence on site. For management, the dispatcher map provides the operational oversight that keeps clients happy and contracts renewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

TacDesk uses interval-based location sampling rather than continuous GPS polling, which is designed to minimise battery impact. Actual battery usage will vary by device and conditions.
No. Location tracking is tied to clock-in status. When a guard clocks out, tracking stops completely. TacDesk does not collect off-duty location data.
Client portal users can see which guards are currently on their sites and their check-in status. The live dispatcher map with detailed GPS positions is visible to management only.
