A. Introduction

The Senstar Guard Tour is a software module within the award-winning Symphony AC Security Management Software that allows organizations to manage their security force as they monitor and patrol property. The Guard Tour software module can be used to track and log the tours of doors while providing assurances that those personnel assigned to the tour are making their designated tours at the times and intervals specified. Symphony AC Guard Tour works by providing a record of the time, date, and location when a designated employee (ie. security personnel) arrives at the checkpoints (i.e. readers next to the door) on his/her tour by presenting a valid card/credential.
