How do I set up Checkpoints in my UniGuard Patrol Management System?

Checkpoints are electronic serial numbers, packaged in sealed, robust stainless steel housings. They are installed (no power or wiring required) at strategic positions on a site to maximize site coverage and security risk areas. A checkpoint is visited by touching the checkpoint tag onto Recorder tag reader.

To edit checkpoints, select Edit/Checkpoints menu option.(This menu option is only available if logged in user has the necessary permission in their user profile).

  • To insert a new checkpoint, click the Insert button and enter the checkpoint details. Click the OK button to save the new checkpoint, or the Cancel button to cancel the insert.
  • To edit a checkpoint, click the Edit button and edit checkpoint details as desired. Click the OK button to save the edited details, or the Cancel button to cancel the edit.
  • To delete a checkpoint, click the Delete button.
