ActivitySuite vs Guard Patrol Pro

ActivitySuite is an online operations system for security guards, private police, and patrol operators. It logs field activity, organizes site records, and creates PDF client reports that can be emailed. Teams can schedule and publish shifts, track site hits, and assign dispatch calls with SMS or email notifications. GPS tools provide real-time resource tracking, geo-fencing, perimeter notifications, and officer mapping. Parking functions cover online guest registration, citation tracking, and tow-eligibility reporting. Staff can attach video clips to logs or incidents and share viewing links in client reports; clips can expire or remain permanent. Administrators configure API keys for their chosen cloud video-storage service, and patrol routing uses Google's Routing and Directions API. Client portal access can be limited by site and incident type. ActivitySuite runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with a self-hosted option. Listed plans are Starter at $99 a month for 250 sessions, Professional at $225 a month for 750 sessions, and Enterprise at $400 a month for 3500 sessions. The site says all features and unlimited users and sites are included, while monthly charges depend on the previous month's browser-session count.

Guard Patrol Pro is cloud-based security patrol software for verifying rounds and keeping supervisors informed about patrol status. Guards can scan QR-code or NFC checkpoints, with GPS geofencing available on every plan. Route assignment, automated guard scheduling and GPS-verified shift attendance support day-to-day patrol operations. Guards can submit incident reports with photos and notes, with GPS and timestamps attached to the round. The app includes a one-tap SOS alert, and supervisors can receive real-time missed-checkpoint alerts. Daily patrol, attendance and incident reports are emailed to agency owners and site managers. The software runs on web, Android and iOS, and the mobile app can continue working without a signal before syncing data when connectivity returns. The vendor says GPS tracking is limited to active shifts and that location history follows a configured retention policy. Plans start at $15/mo, with a 15-day trial listed. The Starter plan is $15 a month and covers three sites and 20 guards; higher plans add capacity and support options.
