iPhone app for Apartment Security Management

Apartment security companies provide their services on contract basis. Typical services called for by an apartment management group includes security guards, surveillance cameras, patrolling hours, check points etc. The security company assigns an admin to manage a set number of properties and they are responsible to ensure the operation is conducted smoothly. This includes ensuring security guards are scheduled for their shifts every week, the date and time is communicated to the personnel’s, all personnel check in at the start and end of their shifts, supervise all disruptions on the property and finally send daily reports to the apartment management group.

We had an idea, how about an iPhone app for the security management agencies. From the management side, an iPhone app can make things a lot easier for both- security guards and managers Here’s what we think:

1. Admin can review an entire list of apartment properties/ contracts assigned to them

2. They can create & revise time schedules for security guards patrolling the properties.

3. With the help of an iPhone, the admin can modify patrol checkpoints as needed and send a live checklist to all the guards. As the security guards finish going through each checkpoint, the admin will be able to see it live and know what checkpoints were checked at what time.

4. The security guard can take pictures of anything that he/ she wants to draw admin’s attention to (such as property damage), and, can create complaint reports.

5. The security guards can submit time cards through iPhones and the admin can review it on payday for payroll.

6. Security guards can also enter other information like mileage for their cars and submit all expenses that was incurred during the patrol
