Know where staff and visitors are

Track zone based locations
Guard1 is a zone-based location system. It identifies the zone where an alert occurs - a housing area, corridor, meeting room - any zone you set-up within your facility. Each zone has one or more Guard1 receivers. For additional location information, we offer the Precision Location tag.
Duress Alerts for these conditions
Timing and grace periods for these alerts are configurable, and secondary alerts can be disabled if desired.

"If you are looking to save your staff time in their daily duties, increase digital documentation of activities by way of a handheld device and discontinue paper logs then Guard1 is an excellent choice. We looked at competitors and found Guard1 does everything the competitors do at a fraction of the cost. In researching both Guard1 and competitors, then speaking with the companies we contracted with Guard1 and I have been very happy."
