Digital Guard Tour offers two equal paths to launch a 14-day free pilot. Self-Service Setup lets a security company create a site, add outdoor GPS checkpoints and indoor QR checkpoints, invite guards, and run the first verified patrol the same day, with no sales call required. Guided Setup provides free, live, one-on-one onboarding over WhatsApp or email for teams that know security operations but would rather not handle the software configuration. Both paths run on existing smartphones, require no proprietary RFID hardware or patrol wands, and end in the same place: verified patrol proof, supervisor visibility, and XLS-ready records.
Atomic Truth: A 14-day Digital Guard Tour pilot can be started two ways — self-service in minutes, or with free live guided onboarding — and both produce the same verified patrol proof.
If You've Run Real Patrols, You Already Know the Hard Part
You've managed shifts. You've written incident reports at 3 AM. You know the difference between a patrol that exists on paper and a route that was actually walked, gate by gate, door by door.
That means you already understand the hard part of guard tour management — the part no software vendor will ever understand for you.
If you understand guarding, you can have Digital Guard Tour running before your coffee gets cold. The technology is the easy part. You've owned the hard part for years.
Create a site, drop in your checkpoints, invite your guards — and your first verified patrol runs today. And if software just isn't your thing? That's not a weakness. That's exactly what we're here for.
Two Paths. You Choose.
We're not going to tell you which one is "recommended." There's no starred plan, no upsell hiding behind door number two. Two equal paths, same destination.
Path A
Self-Service Setup
Do it yourself, starting now.
No sales call. No demo appointment three business days out. You create your first site, add outdoor GPS checkpoints and indoor QR checkpoints, invite guards, and review patrol proof the same day.
This path is built for operators who would rather do than talk — people who learn a new system by getting their hands on it, and who already know exactly where the critical points on their site are, because they're the ones who identified them.
Every step is documented. Our step-by-step setup guides mirror the in-app onboarding checklist exactly:
Add your first site and patrol checkpoints
Add guards, commanders, and working shifts
Build patrol tasks and print indoor QR codes
Get guards running the mobile app on their own phones
If you can brief a new officer on post orders, you can do this.
Path B
Guided Setup, Live and Free
You bring the security expertise. We handle the clicks.
You know security operations, not software platforms? Fair enough. We know the software — and we don't know your site.
This isn't "beginner mode." It's division of labor. In a live session over WhatsApp or email, we set up your first site together, and we don't let go until your first verified patrol has run:
We map your checkpoints with you, site by site
We configure guards, shifts, and patrol tasks
We stay on until your first patrol is verified
Included free with every 14-day pilot
You end up in exactly the same place as the Path A operators: a working patrol verification system — except someone answered your questions along the way.
Whichever path you choose, don't run a toy test. Pick one real site, a handful of GPS or QR checkpoints, and real guards on real shifts. Fourteen days is enough to see missed checkpoints surface, incident reports come in from the field, and client-ready records build up in the dashboard.
We've documented the whole approach in our guide on how to run a 14-day guard tour pilot — from first login to XLS export. It's the same playbook our own pilot customers follow, from Atlanta to Navi Mumbai.
Why Now
While you're reading this, verified patrols are running on Trinity Guard® across four continents — Budapest to Zanzibar, Lima to Navi Mumbai. Digital Guard Tour isn't a roadmap slide. It's a working network, field-tested by practicing security professionals for three years before it ever reached this page.
One honest note about Path B: guided setup is live, one-on-one work. Not a chatbot, not a video — a person. That means we open a limited number of onboarding slots each week.
Book now, and next week you're reviewing verified patrol proof. Wait, and you're still hoping the night round actually happened.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to talk to sales before I can try Digital Guard Tour?
No. The self-service path requires no sales call and no scheduled demo. You can sign up, create your first site, add GPS or QR checkpoints, invite guards, and run a verified patrol on the same day. A live conversation is available if you want one, but it is never a gate you have to pass through first.
How long does it take to set up a guard tour system myself?
For a single site with a handful of checkpoints, most security managers complete the full onboarding checklist in well under an hour: add the site, add checkpoints, add users, add shifts, add patrol tasks, print QR codes for indoor points, and get guards logged into the mobile app. The step-by-step setup guides mirror the in-app checklist exactly, so there is no guesswork about what comes next.
What does guided setup include, and does it cost anything?
Guided setup is free and included with every 14-day pilot. It is a live, one-on-one session over WhatsApp or email in which we configure your first site together — checkpoints, guards, shifts, and patrol tasks — and continue until your first verified patrol has run. You supply the operational knowledge of your site; we handle the software configuration.
Do I need proprietary hardware, RFID readers, or patrol wands?
No. Guards use the smartphones they already carry. Outdoor patrol areas use GPS checkpoints and indoor locations such as doors, corridors and rooms use printed QR checkpoints, so there are no readers to buy, charge, dock, or replace when they are lost.
Can I start self-service and ask for help later?
Yes. The two paths are not a locked choice. Many security companies begin on their own, get the first site running, and then reach out when they scale to additional sites, clients, or guard teams. Onboarding support is included with the pilot regardless of how you started, so choosing self-service costs you nothing in help later.
The decision is yours
Pick one. Today.
We won't tell you which path is right. You've made harder calls at 3 AM, standing at a gate.
