Here are your commonly asked questions on how security guard vehicle tracking works.
A security guard vehicle tracking system uses tracking units to help manage and show where your security personnel are. It lets managers see where every vehicle is in real-time, whether guards are on a planned patrol route or responding to an emergency at short notice. At any moment, you’ll know where your security team is and who is closest to any given incident.
Companies use a combination of GPS tracking and geofencing to track their patrol vehicles. GPS shows the exact location of a patrol vehicle, while geofencing alerts security companies the moment a patrol vehicle enters or leaves a specific area.
Your company should choose Cartrack because:
Our 24/7 control room support means your security team can get help from our response teams within minutes.
Yes, Cartrack can still track patrol and security vehicles even when there’s no cellular signal. Cartrack units use backup technologies that don’t rely on mobile networks. When signal is limited, live tracking updates may be less frequent, but the system still sends location updates so that vehicles are never fully lost.
Vehicle tracking systems help your guards stay safe by making their locations and routes clear. If something happens on route to a response, or a guard needs help in an emergency, tracking systems can give them the access they need. The accurate tracking and management of any fleet makes drivers safer on the road AND when they’re parked.

A dual-technology tracker uses two different types of signal to provide accurate real-time tracking information. It’s important because criminals have advanced in technology and are now using jamming systems to prevent tracking systems from working.
Use Cartrack to see where your security guards and vehicles are in real-time. Plan routes, set geofenced areas, and trigger emergency recovery when needed. Knowing where guards are and being able to respond instantly helps keep everyone safer.
The main role of video telematics in vehicle tracking systems is to provide an account of high-risk situations. These incidents often come with many variables, so an exact recorded account of each one makes for simpler contestation in court, claims with insurance, or internal company disputes.
Briefing your guards on the new tracking systems is the most important step, because they need to know the reason for it is for their own protection. They should also know how to navigate the system in such a way where they and the people or drivers they encounter are always held accountable for every action.
