Abstract: Certain embodiments of systems and methods for managing security data are provided. In one embodiment, a system can be provided. The system can include at least one processor operable to execute one or more computer-executable instructions. The system can also include at least one memory operable to store the one or more computer-executable instructions. The instructions can be operable to: collect status information associated with a plurality of sites monitored by a security service provider; generate, based at least in part upon the collected information, at least one graphical presentation associated with the plurality of sites, the at least one presentation comprising one or more respective selectable status indicators associated with each of the plurality of sites; and output, by the monitoring system, the generated at least one presentation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing security at a vehicle yard are provided. A communicator may collect data associated with a plurality of vehicles or trailers during completion of a guard tour, and a processing station may receive the collected data from the communicator. The processing station may compare the collected data to expected data in order to generate one or more instructions that are returned to the communicator. The one or more instructions may include an instruction to collect additional data associated with a vehicle or trailer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for training security officers are disclosed. A telecommunications node situated at a guard location may be operable to facilitate the presentation of training questions to a guard situated at the guard location. A training module may be operable to determine one or more training questions to communicate to the telecommunications node based at least in part on a predetermined condition. The training module may further be operable to communicate the one or more training questions to the telecommunications node via a network and to receive a respective answer to each of the one or more training questions from the telecommunications node. The training module may further be operable to determine whether the received answers are correct.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and actuating a vehicle gate are provided by certain embodiments of the invention. Data associated with a vehicle at the gate is collected and at least of the portion of the collected data is analyzed to identify one or more exceptions. A determination is made as to whether at least one exception is identified in the collected data, and the gate is actuated based at least in part on the determination.

Abstract: The present invention comprises systems and methods for addressing exceptions (i.e., alarms) associated with a guard tour according to a predefined hierarchy. The exception is generated automatically based on data associated with the guard tour, as typically collected by an ETTS. The present invention receives tour data, and based upon predefined customer preferences and current conditions, generates a procedure to be followed to optimally resolve the exception. An exemplary exception is one based on the time interval between checkpoints. If, for example, the time interval is outside of a predetermined range, then an exception may be generated.

Abstract: The present invention comprises systems and methods for addressing exceptions (i.e., alarms) associated with a guard tour according to a predefined hierarchy. The exception is generated automatically based on data associated with the guard tour, as typicdally collected by an ETTS. The present invention receives tour data, and based upon predefined customer preferences and current conditions, generates a procedure to be followed to optimally resolve the exception, typically based on to various parameters, including customer, exception type, day, date, and time of day. In response to an exception, a contact list is generated, the contact list being associated with one or more of the parameters. Based on the nature of the exception, the present invention has the ability to prevent an operator from clearing the exception until it has been resolved in a predefined manner.
