Guard tour QR code generator
one code per checkpoint
Type your checkpoint names, one per line, and this free guard tour QR code generator makes a printable QR code for each, labeled with the site and the checkpoint name. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Be aware of what these are: generic labels for practice, planning and printing. When you run tours in CGuardPro, the system issues its own server-generated checkpoint codes that cannot be guessed, and checks time and position on every scan.
Make your codes
Each QR code contains the site and checkpoint name as plain text, so any phone camera will show what it is. Accents and special characters are simplified inside the code; the printed label keeps them. Names are limited to 80 characters.
Your codes will appear below. If nothing happens, your browser may be blocking scripts; the generator needs JavaScript.
How do you set up QR checkpoints for a guard tour?
-
1. Walk the route before printing
Decide each point with the client on site: the doors, gates and rooms the post orders actually care about. Name each one by what the officer should check there.
-
2. Mount where a camera can read
Chest height, out of direct sun, away from glossy glare. Laminate outdoor labels. In dark or dirty spots, consider an NFC tag instead — it reads without light.
-
3. Photograph each mounted code
A photo of the label in place lets a new officer find it and lets a supervisor see when a code has been moved or painted over.
-
4. Re-walk the route on a schedule
Codes get peeled off, faded and covered. Have a supervisor scan every point on a regular ride-along and replace what fails.
Frequently asked questions
Is this guard tour QR code generator free?+
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark and no limit beyond 100 checkpoints per batch. The codes are generated in your browser and nothing you type is sent to a server.
Can I use these QR codes with CGuardPro?+
Not as checkpoints. These codes simply contain the text you typed, so anyone could make an identical one. When you use CGuardPro, the system issues its own checkpoint codes, generated on the server and impossible to guess, and you print those from the dashboard. Use this page for practice, for planning where codes go, or for labels.
What should each checkpoint name say?+
Where the code is and what the officer should look at: "North gate — padlock and chain", "Stair B, level 3 — fire door". The same name will appear on the printed label, so it doubles as a mounting instruction.
What size should a printed checkpoint QR code be?+
Large enough to scan without leaning in. Around 4 to 5 cm (about 1.5 to 2 inches) works for most phones at arm's length indoors. Outdoors, laminate the label or use a weatherproof sticker, and mount it at chest height out of direct sun.
Does a QR code prove the officer was at the checkpoint?+
Not on its own: a code can be photographed and scanned somewhere else. That is why a guard tour system has to check the time and the phone's position on every scan. CGuardPro does that on the server, which a plain QR code cannot.
Checkpoints that prove the visit
Used by 600+ security companies, CGuardPro prints its own checkpoint codes from the dashboard, also reads NFC tags, and verifies every scan with server time and the phone’s position. Officers can add a photo or note at any point, and missed or late tours raise an alert during the shift.
