The Partner Patrol System

Patrols & Lone Worker Protection System for Android Smartphones.

The desire by customers to receive frontline security activity information instantly, whenever and wherever they want, has changed the way Interconnective has approached the design of our new series of patrol solutions. Customers, if necessary, want to communicate directly with frontline officers as well as having photographic details and in some cases a real time video view of incidents.

The Partner Online is the latest Patrol System to be introduced from The Partner Patrol range, designed to assist frontline security personnel. It is a flexible and adaptive proof of location and activity verification system which is designed to record the place, date and time of each visit undertaken by a security officer or cleaning/maintenance staff, as well as recording incidents and other verification activities in real time using an app on a ruggedised Android based smart phone and an online portal to view reports. The system uses NFC tags to provide proof of presence.

Patrol reports can be generated online, or automatically emailed to designated contacts as required.

The application is used for monitoring of lone workers and vulnerable persons.

Special permissions used by this app:
BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN - The application can become Device Admin to temporarily prevent accidental uninstallation. Only the dispatcher (with correct permissions) can choose whether the app is Device Admin.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission. If manager enables Device Admin this app can't be uninstalled until the manager disables Device Admin. There are no uses policies.
