Office security patrol solution

Patrol the building on schedule.Give each alert an owner.

For property and security teams: connect indoor patrols, checkpoint records and staff response, from the first observation to a recorded outcome.

01 / Coverage

Define each checkpoint, not just a floor area.

Build your patrol around six groups of checkpoints. For each, define the position, viewing angle, expected condition, visit interval and response owner.

Six capabilities, with a delivery check for each.

Choose the checks your building needs. Combine on-site observation, configured recognition and clear records, with each enabled function validated against real conditions in your building.

PeoplePersonnel observation, unfamiliar-person reminders, unusual dwell and live scene viewing.Delivery conditions

Identity comparison needs an authorized reference source and integration. Agree dwell rules, camera angles and false-alert handling; an unmatched identity is a review prompt.

EnvironmentTemperature, humidity, CO₂, PM2.5, TVOC and configured smoke/flame recognition.Delivery conditions

Confirm the delivered sensors, units, placement and thresholds. Image recognition and measured sensor readings are different inputs; validate them separately.

FacilitiesConfigured open/closed door checks and visual checks of hydrants and exit signs.Delivery conditions

Agree target states, lighting, distance and any required markers. A photograph does not establish that a device is fully functional.

PassagesObservation and recognition of obstructions or stored objects in corridors and escape routes.Delivery conditions

Map the inspection area and expected clearance. Trial temporary queues, cleaning equipment and other normal conditions.

Alerts and responseStructured events, platform reminders, configured app notifications, manual assignment and remote audio.Delivery conditions

Confirm recipients, available channels, acknowledgement, escalation and which actions need a person on site.

RecordsCheckpoint photos, patrol logs, event lists and daily, weekly or monthly reports.Delivery conditions

Agree fields, access, retention and report definitions. Live viewing does not include video replay in this plan.

CHECKPOINT / 04

Shared space outside offices

Patrol agreed boundaries and observe activity around designated areas.

Checkpoint setup

Do not assume entry to tenant offices or unrestricted observation of private workspaces.

CHECKPOINT / 05

Pantries and service rooms

Check agreed smoke/flame recognition and environmental indicators.

Checkpoint setup

Validate steam, reflections, lighting and normal activity against the chosen recognition rules.

CHECKPOINT / 06

Fire-safety facility checkpoints

Photograph hydrants, cabinets, doors and exit signs for configured checks.

Checkpoint setup

Confirm target visibility and what can be inferred from the image; functional equipment testing remains a separate task.

Coverage boundary / Outdoor areas, underground car parks, wet or high-temperature locations and strong direct sunlight. Stairs, inaccessible rooms and restricted areas need separate assessment and are not assumed covered.

Check whether your building is a fit

Start with the places and shifts that need support.

A useful starting point is repeated rounds through accessible indoor public areas, with a control-room or property team available to review alerts and coordinate the response.

A good fit
Office lobbies, access gates, lift halls, common corridors and designated exit checkpoints. The building has repeatable inspection tasks, agreed access permissions and a named response team.
Confirm before selecting
Floor distribution, revisit intervals, pedestrian traffic, camera views, network coverage and lift integration. Define what counts as an exception and how staff will verify it.

Make the patrol and the response visible.

Coverage
Fixed rounds and limited staff can leave gaps between visits.
Discovery
Open doors, obstructions and environmental changes may remain unnoticed.
Evidence
Scattered notes make it hard to verify what was checked and when.
Coordination
An alert without an owner or recorded outcome does not close the event.

02 / Patrol workflow

One patrol.One traceable chain of events.

The robot executes the configured route and collects the scene. Staff verify the alert, decide the response and confirm the result.

    Robot

An event is not resolved simply because it was detected or a message was sent. Agree who acknowledges it, who acts, who verifies the outcome and how unresolved events pass to the next shift.

Route preparation, scheduling and charging
Configure / Property team
Set areas, checkpoints, times, frequency, expected states and alert recipients.
Depart / Robot and dispatch
Start the planned task along the mapped, authorized route.

Match the patrol rhythm to office activity.

Combine routine rounds, priority checkpoints, temporary tasks and charging. Two-hour routine rounds and 30-minute priority visits are planning examples; confirm your service intervals during the pilot.

Before work
Check route access, battery and camera views; inspect agreed facilities and environmental points.
During the day
Mix checkpoint visits and event checks around pedestrian traffic; reserve capacity for temporary tasks.
After work and between rounds
Complete agreed security checks, review unresolved events and rotate charging and maintenance.
Scheduled rounds
Run fixed routes on agreed days and times. Define holidays, special calendars and checkpoints that must be included.
Priority rounds
Increase visits around morning arrivals, lunch, evening departures or visitor peaks. Test whether queues still leave a passable route.
Event checks
Use an alert or a temporary request to initiate a checkpoint review. Confirm trigger interfaces, task priority and what happens to the interrupted round.
Special inspections
Create focused routes for doors, escape routes or environmental exceptions, with daily, weekly or monthly plans as needed.

Validate low-battery return, charger access and task resumption with the delivered configuration. Service across day and night requires fleet rotation and staff cover; include charging and maintenance in the coverage plan.

Action and verification outcome

Record structure only. Responsible staff verify and enter the actual action and outcome.

Daily, weekly or monthly summaries of tasks, checked points and exceptions, with definitions agreed for completion and response measures.

View robot positions, checkpoints and tasks on a 2D floor map, with a dashboard for the wider operation. Confirm any 3D presentation, account permissions and integrations in your delivery scope.

Before launch, agree who can view live images, perform remote actions, access identity data and review records. Define retention and any export or deletion requirements. Unconfirmed exports or third-party work-order connections are not assumed included.

One route, three connected parts.
Robot
Mapped movement, live video, checkpoint photos, configured environmental sensing and remote audio.
Dispatch and recognition
Maps, routes, recurring and temporary tasks, recognition rules, alerts and structured records.
Management platform
Device and task status, checkpoint management, permissions, event review, assignment and reports.

04 / Deployment

Treat 2–4 robots as a starting configuration.

Start planning with 2–4 robots, then size the fleet around floors, routes and visit intervals. The service package includes a Web management platform, visualization dashboard and alert/patrol reports; confirm chargers, lift connections and all quantities in your project list.

Robots and chargers
Partition routes by floor or zone; allow for charging, maintenance and temporary tasks. Confirm robot variants and charger locations.
Building connections
Size lift modules and any gate or door integration around the actual authorized route and equipment compatibility.
Platform and operations
Confirm Web platform, dashboard, report fields, accounts, notification channels, training and support scope.
ANGO indoor patrol robot

ANGO

ANGO combines indoor mobility, environmental sensing and remote audio/video. Confirm the delivered model, dimensions, weight, runtime, charging and sensor configuration in your selection list, then validate the actual passage and lift conditions.

View ANGO product details
Check how often a point is actually revisited.

A complete route includes travel, checkpoint dwell and capture, lift or door waits and return time. Compare the measured route cycle with the required revisit interval. Floor area alone cannot determine fleet size.

Calculation example only: a 24-minute route with a 15-minute revisit target needs at least ceil(24 ÷ 15) = 2 robots under ideal staggered operation. This excludes charging, congestion, breakdowns and event diversions; verify the actual checkpoint intervals and add availability capacity after a site trial.

Check each route and priority point, not just a fleet average. A shorter revisit target may require route subdivision, more robots or fewer concurrent tasks. Patrol coverage is periodic; areas outside the camera view or between visits are not continuously observed.

Survey, configure, trial, then hand over.

Four stages take the project from a defined patrol area to day-to-day operation. Agree the deliverables at each stage, with dates and acceptance targets based on your site readiness.

  1. 01

    Survey and scope

    Deliver: checkpoint register, route survey and initial configuration.

    View stage tasks

    List buildings, floors, public-area boundaries, checkpoints, required intervals and current staffing. Survey views, floors, thresholds, lifts, doors, network and charging.

  2. 02

    Map and configure

    Deliver: authorized route map, rule list and integration plan.

    View stage tasks

    Build maps, configure routes, schedules, target states and recognition rules. Agree contacts, notification channels, permissions and records.

  3. 03

    Install and trial

    Deliver: trial records, issue list and revised routes or thresholds.

    View stage tasks

    Commission hardware and building connections. Test day/night views, crowding, normal and abnormal samples, event notifications, charging and task resumption.

  4. 04

    Train and accept

    Deliver: acceptance record, operating procedure and support handover.

    View stage tasks

    Train operators and responders, close trial issues and sign off coverage, records and recovery procedures. Schedule ongoing review of rule changes and site alterations.

Site readiness and interruption handling
Route and access

Clearances, turning space, thresholds, slopes and lift gaps against the selected version; authorized floors and door/gate connections.

Property team, equipment providers and implementation team

Views and recognition

Target height, distance, lighting, glass/reflections, crowding and any markers; representative positive and negative samples for each enabled rule.

Security team and implementation team

Network and charging

Coverage along routes, inside lift cars and at the charger; power, clear approach and a tested recovery contact.

Property team, IT and implementation team

People and records

Who reviews, assigns, attends and closes events; shift cover, account permissions, identity-data access and retention rules.

Property team, security management and platform administrator

Make interruptions part of the operating procedure.

These are proposed response rules for the project, not additional automatic functions. Set thresholds, contacts and escalation steps before the pilot and exercise the failure cases.

Suspected obstruction or door exception

Review the checkpoint photo or live scene. Assign a person to verify and handle it, then check the resulting state.

Record the reviewer, action, time and final checkpoint result.

Unfamiliar-person or dwell reminder

Verify the scene and authorized reference information before intervention. Use remote conversation or staff attendance where appropriate; do not equate a reminder with a confirmed violation.

Keep the review outcome, necessary evidence and any follow-up action.

Environmental or smoke/flame alert

Staff promptly verify available readings and images and follow the building’s incident procedure. The robot observes and reports; physical response remains with the response team.

Record acknowledgement, escalation and outcome; do not wait for another round if the incident needs immediate attention.

Blocked route or failed lift/access

Locate the robot, check permissions and obstructions, and use only confirmed alternative routes. Arrange a manual check for missed priority points.

Identify missed points and recovery actions; resume only on an authorized route.

Network, battery or device interruption

Check the latest task and location, arrange recovery or a replacement round, and reconcile incomplete checkpoints. Remote functions depend on an available connection.

Record missed tasks and the coverage gap; test charging and task recovery before returning to service.

False alert or no staff acknowledgement

Retain the event for review, correct rules through an authorized change process and escalate unanswered events to the agreed backup contact.

Keep the sample, rule change and verification result; unresolved events pass to the next shift.

05 / Validation

Agree how the pilot will prove useful coverage.

Agree targets, observation periods, sample sizes and exclusions before the pilot. Use measured results from your building to decide whether coverage, recognition and response meet your needs.

Agree equipment purchase or rental, integration work, platform and communication fees, support and spare-device arrangements. Confirm pricing, rollout dates and response commitments in the project proposal.

Questions to settle before choosing this plan.

Can it replace the entire security team?

The plan supports repeated observation and record collection. Staff still verify alerts, coordinate attendance, handle incidents and maintain operations. Any staffing change needs a measured service plan.

Does it cover the car park or outdoor perimeter?

No. This plan covers office indoor public areas and excludes underground car parks and outdoor areas. Those require a separate solution assessment.

Can I replay video from last night?

No. The service does not include video replay. Review retained checkpoint photos and structured records; live video is for current viewing.

Is unfamiliar-person recognition ready without setup?

It requires an authorized identity reference source, configuration and site validation. Without a confirmed reference and interface, do not assume the system can establish identity or access entitlement.

Does a facility photo prove that it works?

No. A configured visual check can help assess visible state, such as a door being open or an exit sign being visible. Functional testing and incident response remain separate work.

Can it connect to our existing CCTV, access or work-order systems?

Lift, door and gate connections need compatibility and permission checks. Existing CCTV archives and third-party work orders need separately confirmed interfaces, fields, permissions and delivery scope.

Are 24-hour coverage and instant alerts guaranteed?

Confirm coverage and response targets in your pilot. Actual revisit intervals and notification times depend on fleet size, routes, traffic, charging, network and staff cover.

What happens when the building layout changes?

Renovation, tenant moves or changes to doors and access permissions require a route and checkpoint review. Update the map, recognition views and rules through the agreed change process, then retest affected tasks before restoring coverage.

Bring one route and one shift to the first discussion.

Prepare a floor plan, checkpoint list, desired revisit intervals, operating hours, access equipment details and the current response roster. Start with a representative area and prove the full patrol-to-response workflow before expanding.
