www.jwm-rfid.com[edit]

A guard tour patrol system website has grown immensely on Google and is now on the first page of the organic search for over 20 keywords. www.jwm-rfid.com has quickly become recognised by the major search engines and offers something unique in guard tour systems. When a security guard finishes a patrol with the GuardTourer device, they just connect it to a PC, which then uploads the information for the control room to see. This increases safety for the security guard himself. GuardTourer has already been praised by a major security company in London, and is expected to be the market leader in guard tour patrols systems in the future. I would like permission to add this site in the references section. originally posted by User:Timur1505, I, Exit2DOS ^{• Ctrl • Alt • Del} simply reformatted an replied below

Seems to me it is the same as any other rfid patrol system. The website is full of buzzwords, sales pitch an hype. There seems, to me, very little in the way of additional knowledge to be gained from linking to it, unless I am overlooking something?

Before the electronic age[edit]

Before the electronic age, the method was implemented using "watchclocks" or "watchman's clocks". For example, Google rapidly revealed:

Exactly. There are likely a lot or articles on security that can be created! --Justanother 17:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't the system seen prominently in the very first scene of The Matrix Reloaded?-Uagehry456talk 23:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming the Article[edit]

This article has been expanded outside the scope of security guards. Any suggestions for a more generic title, such as Watchclock Patrol, Patrol Monitoring Systems, etc.?--Jeff Johnston 22:22, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use by Correctional Officers[edit]

Correctional Officers in the province of Ontario, Canada use various makes of guard tour patrol systems in all of their facilities. This practice dates back to the use of the old keyed clocks.--JeffJ (talk) 06:44, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And apparently in correctional facilities in King County, Washington. --JeffJ (talk) 07:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And Macomb County, Michigan [1] (Page 3). --JeffJ (talk) 07:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guard patrol software[edit]

This entire thing is written like an advertisement. Being a professional in the industry that actually uses this kind of software, I can tell you right now that this is probably someone trying to push their product. The article also contains a TON of grammatical errors, and is severely lacking on accurate information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:204:CC00:28F7:B81E:EE57:476F:FE95 (talk) 00:51, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Bomb" notes[edit]

I was just reading about a system used by TSMC to ensure that maintenance on their equipment is done properly. It sounds a lot like a watchclock, but built inside a machine rather than scattered around buildings. Does this belong here or is this practice better-suited for a different article? (Which should go into the See Also section here.) https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tsmc-bomb-notes-machinery -- SpareSimian (talk) 12:42, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
