BCS Guard Tour Technology works with Checkpoint/Incident/Guard Media Tags which are available in 3 forms:
During the watch patrol, the security guard simply touches or scans the SilverGuard wand to the Checkpoint tag placed at various locations at the site to record the date and time of the guard’s patrol. The security guard may also scan an Incident Tag (contained in the Incident Wallet) to record an Incident (e.g. door open) associated with a Checkpoint, or scan a Guard Tag to identify the name of the guard performing the patrol. You can choose which type of Checkpoint/Incident/Guard Media Tag is best for your operation and budget, depending on the cost and the environment of the site.

Bar Code Media Tags
These Barcode media tags are the same as the barcodes commonly used in grocery stores. As the SilverGuard Wand (SG4) is passed over the barcode, the wand creates a low electrical signal for the spaces (reflected light) and a high electrical signal for the bars (nothing is reflected); the duration of the electrical signal determines wide vs. narrow elements. This signal is "decoded" by the SG4 Wand barcode reader's decoder into the characters that the bar code represents. The decoded data is then passed to the computer in a traditional data format.
