Select Patrol Replaces iButtons with QR Codes

Select Patrol is in the process of replacing its current patrol tour system with a newer technology that will eliminate the wand scanner commonly used throughout the security industry. The new system is actually a feature of the real-time reporting software that has been used by Select Patrol since 2011. Select Patrol employees can now scan checkpoint locations on their routes with android phones without the need for a separate scanning device.

The benefit for Select Patrol customers is the ability to see the patrolman’s reports in real time, and also view time-stamped location patrols in a single reporting format.

In addition, the scanning software uses pressure sensitive QR code decals that are easier to remove than the former systems’ metal ibuttons that were installed with screws or adhesives. The decals measure one inch by one inch square. For clients who currently use the ibutton system known as Deggy, Select Patrol will discontinue the weekly reports as soon as the new decals are in place.
