How Guards Check In via QR Scanning

This guide explains the guard workflow for starting and completing patrol rounds.

Starting a Patrol Session

1. Scan the first QR code at the route's starting checkpoint
2. The system automatically creates a new patrol session
3. You will see a confirmation with the route name and start time

Checking In at Each Checkpoint

1. Scan the QR code at each checkpoint in order
2. Each scan is GPS-stamped and time-verified
3. The system records your check-in automatically
4. Continue to the next checkpoint

Completing the Route

1. Scan the final checkpoint QR code
2. The patrol session is marked as completed
3. A summary shows total time and all checkpoints visited

What If I Miss a Checkpoint?

• Missed checkpoints are flagged on the manager dashboard
• You can report the reason via WhatsApp message
• The manager can review and annotate the session

Anti-Fraud Protection

• Every check-in is GPS-verified
• The system detects if you are not at the checkpoint location
• Timestamps cannot be manipulated
• Session history is immutable

Tips

• Make sure your phone has GPS/location enabled
• Scan QR codes clearly — hold steady for 1-2 seconds
• If a QR code is damaged, report it to your supervisor immediately
