Guard time and attendance
with selfie, GPS and exact time
Officers clock in and out from their own phone with a selfie and a location verified at the post. Dispatch sees who is on duty in real time, gets alerts for late arrivals and no-shows, and the hours land ready for payroll — no biometric hardware at every site, no paper sheets to key in.

Short answer
Guard time and attendance software records when security officers start and end their shifts and whether they were at the post. In CGuardPro, officers clock in from their own phone with a selfie while the server stamps the time and checks GPS position against the post's geofence. Dispatch sees who is on duty, gets alerts for late arrivals and no-shows, and hours are consolidated by period for payroll.

The problem with paper time sheets
Punches nobody can verify
A signature on a sheet does not prove the officer arrived on time, or that they were even at the post. Hour disputes come down to their word against yours.
Late arrivals surface too late
With no live clock-in, an uncovered post is discovered when the client calls — not when the relief failed to show.
Manual payroll, expensive mistakes
Keying time sheets into a spreadsheet every pay period eats days and produces errors that either cost you money or trigger staff complaints.
How clocking in works in CGuardPro
Clock in with selfie and GPS
Starting a shift takes a selfie while the system records the time and location, checking the officer is inside the post's geofence.
Live status in dispatch
The board shows who is on duty, at which post and since when — with automatic alerts for lateness and uncovered posts.
Clock out with a shift handoff
On clock-out the guard leaves their notes and pending instructions, which the incoming officer receives automatically.
Hours ready for payroll
Hours worked, late arrivals and absences are consolidated by period, ready to export or feed into your payroll process.
Every hour worked, verified
- Selfie plus GPS: no buddy punching, no clocking in from home
- Immediate alerts for late arrivals, no-shows and early departures
- Early-departure requests that need supervisor approval
- Attendance history by officer, post and client
- Period totals ready for payroll, with no manual data entry
- Works on any Android phone or iPhone the officer already owns

Frequently asked questions
How does it stop one guard from clocking in for another? +
Every punch requires a selfie taken at that moment and validates the GPS position against the post's geofence. On top of that, each account allows a single active session per device, so sharing logins does not work.
What if the guard arrives and has no signal? +
The punch needs a connection at that moment: that is what lets the server stamp the time and check the position against the post's geofence. On sites with patchy coverage, name the spot where the shift is punched in the post orders — the lobby, the gate, wherever the signal reaches. Reports, visitor entries and patrol scans do keep working offline and sync themselves later.
Does it handle 12-hour and overnight shifts? +
Yes. The scheduler handles 12-hour rotations, four-on four-off and overnight shifts that cross midnight, and attendance is reconciled against the scheduled shift.
Can I see right now which posts are covered? +
Yes. The operations board shows officers on duty by post and client in real time, and flags posts with no coverage.
Does this replace a biometric time clock? +
For staff spread across client sites, yes: the selfie plus GPS does the same identity job without installing and wiring hardware at every location.
