Introducing the New RFID Baton by OnGuard South Africa

    CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, January 17, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- OnGuard is one of South Africa's leading patrol management companies. In a country like South Africa, OnGuard's products and services are of the utmost importance in the fight against the escalating instances of crime. What makes OnGuard a unique company is that all of the products, which they provide to security companies, are designed and manufactured in South Africa. This means that OnGuard is able to use unique information and technology, which is applicable in South Africa's fight against crime, to develop their products.

OnGuard brings 10 years of experience to the security industry and they are constantly adding new products to their vast selection of security items. One of their biggest developments was their mobile app which has been a great help for security companies.

Towards the end of 2016, OnGuard released their latest product; the RFID Baton. Checkpoints are essential during patrols to ensure that the guards on duty are not only safe but that they are also awake. These checkpoints are located throughout the premises and the guards make use of a baton to check in with their security company.

Guards are identified in the system by an ID number which is unique to them. As they do their patrols they carry the small baton and when they pass the checkpoint they press the button. The information that gets transmitted to back to their company includes the ID number along with the time and the date. The baton is fit with a transmitter which collects the data relating to the location of the guard.

A guard can pass the checkpoints many times while on duty. With the baton, the security company can locate their exact movements in the area which they patrol. In dangerous areas, this technology is especially important in ensuring that guards are safe. Guards who don't transmit their location can be checked up on as soon as their absence is noted.

What are the benefits of using our RFID Batons?

When your security company is using this system, you are guaranteed to only get information that is unbiased. This means that you are always going to get an accurate idea about what is happening at the premises that are being guarded.

This system can also help to cut costs as there will be no need for intense supervision of the guards. The system and the software will replace this need and the security company will be saving money.

OnGuard is helping security companies make South Africa safe again. You can contact them on +27 21 701 7777 or through the contact page of their website (www.onguard.co.za).
