Your operation's radio,
without buying radios
CGuardPro turns every officer's phone into a professional radio: an open push-to-talk channel where dispatch, supervisors and guards hear each other instantly, with encrypted audio that keeps working while the screen is locked. No UHF hardware to buy, maintain or lose.

Short answer
Push-to-talk radio for security guards provides walkie-talkie style voice communication between dispatch, supervisors and officers. CGuardPro runs push-to-talk inside the guard app over mobile data: officers join the company channel at shift start, audio is encrypted, and the radio keeps receiving in the background and with the screen locked. Dispatch can run voice roll calls with a record of who answered, and physical UHF/VHF radios can optionally be bridged over RoIP.

The problem with traditional radios
Expensive gear that disappears
Handhelds, batteries, chargers and repeaters: a large investment that breaks, walks off and goes obsolete — multiplied by every post.
Coverage stops at the repeater
Conventional radio does not cross the metro area or reach the site out on the highway. You end up running the operation on phone calls and group texts, with no shared channel.
No record of anything
What was said over the radio lives nowhere. A voice roll call depends on the memory of whoever happened to hear it.
How the CGuardPro radio works
One open channel per company
When a shift starts, the officer joins your company's channel. Dispatch and supervisors share that same channel from the CRM and their apps.
Push to talk
Hold the button and speak; everyone hears it instantly. The channel shows who is connected and who is talking.
Keeps running in the background
With the screen locked or another app open, the radio keeps receiving — like a real radio, with encrypted Opus audio.
Voice roll call
Dispatch can run scheduled roll calls over the channel, with a record of who answered and when.
Radio communication, app economics
- Zero spend on radios, batteries, chargers or repeaters
- Nationwide coverage: it works wherever the phone has data
- Encrypted audio (WebRTC/Opus) at call quality
- Keeps playing in the background and with the screen locked
- Live roster: who is on the channel and who is speaking
- Optional bridge to physical UHF/VHF radios over RoIP for mixed fleets

Frequently asked questions
Does it really replace UHF/VHF radios? +
For most urban operations, yes: a push-to-talk channel over mobile data covers the whole metro area (and the whole country) with no repeaters. If you keep physical radios, CGuardPro can bridge them onto the same channel over RoIP.
How much data does it use? +
Audio only travels while someone is holding the button, using the efficient Opus codec — a fraction of what a continuous call would consume.
Does it work while the guard is using another app? +
Yes. The radio runs in the background with a dedicated service: the officer hears the channel even with the screen locked or another app in front.
Who can talk on the channel? +
Dispatch from the CRM, supervisors from their app, and officers on duty. The channel belongs to your company and shows live who is connected.
What is a voice roll call? +
A roll call over the air: dispatch calls the channel and each officer answers; the system records who responded and at what time, leaving proof of the check.
