Features of Active Track that Make it Ideal for
Lone Worker Protection
Industries like security, construction, and
healthcare, use lone workers for a range of
tasks. Amidst other challenges, lone worker
safety is one that businesses must consider. Due
to the nature of the environment where they work,
in an event of a mishap, they lack any immediate
help since there are no people around. In
moments like these, each second is precious,
which is why Guard Patrol Products offer the
Active Track real time lone worker/man down
patrol management solution.
Active TrackA Real-time Patrol Monitoring
Solution Our Active Track solution will provide
Real Time Patrol information without the need to
download the Data Reader to a PC. All
information is accessed via a secure log in from
any PC, or Smart Device. In addition to its
normal function of retrieving patrol data in real
time from the installed Checkpoints, the
Handheld Data Reader can also be used as a cell
phone, using a 3G SIM the user can call directly
a previously programmed number or send a signal
via GPRS to the monitoring station with an ask
for reply. It is also possible to receive calls
with Active Track Data Reader. Please note that
as the system utilises GSM Technology, if no
signal can be found or the signal drops out,
even if using the Roaming SIM some real time
functionality could be lost. All transactions will
2
still be recorded in the device and as soon as a
connection is restored any transaction undertaken
will be updated in the central software. Call
Button The quad-band GSM/GPRS SIM connects to
the strongest signal, making it easy to make
receive calls on the device. The Call Me button
on the device can make a call to a designated
number in case of an emergency or request a call
from it. This feature gives the lone worker the
option to contact someone should the need arise
while preventing calling others or misusing this
feature. Panic Button When needing help, lone
workers can press the Panic Button on the Active
Track to receive urgent assistance. Pressing it
sends a message to the designated device,
requesting assistance. You can program it to
include the GPS location of the device along with
the message. Man Down Alarm Among the many
dangers of working alone, the worst are the ones
that they cant inform about. Collapsing with no
warning doesnt give lone workers the time to
press the panic button. Keeping this scenario in
mind, Active Track boasts a Man Down alarm. This
uses the accelerometer in the device to monitor
any sudden deviation from the pre- programmed
parameters. Should the device fall and remain in
that position, it initiates the alarm, sending
an SMS to the designated device with the last
known GPS location for quick action. Active View
facilitates the smooth functioning of Active
Track devices by working as its web- based
management portal. It can monitor all devices,
events and alarms, ensuring an efficient system.
