Overview
To set up a guard-tour:
1) Ensure the applicable readers and other
guard-tour stations (checkpoints) have been
defined in the system.
Guard tour inputs require a "Custom Point Type"
with the "Preprocess" set as "Guard Tour" (and the
"Level" set as "24 hours").
To add a reader/door or guard-tour input-point to
the system, refer to:
 "Doors, Readers, and Related Settings",
 "Input Points—Custom Point Types", and
 "Input Points—Monitored Sensors", as
applicable.
2) Set up the new guard-tour, which includes
the readers and other guard-tour 'stations'
along the guard's route. (Refer to the
selection-descriptions for this screen for
details);
Tip: Areas and associated arm/disarm commands
can also be inserted as desired. (These trigger
automatically when the guard accesses the
preceding station within the allowed time).
3) Double-check the order for the 'stations', and
the acceptable range of time between each
location.
Note: "Grid" view does not apply to this topic.
