If the patrol vehicle has a cellular connection, you can select certain events to be
automatically sent from Genetec Patroller™ to Security Center as they occur. This method is
ideal for parking or law enforcement systems where hits are sent to a central office for review
or enforcement.
What you should know
- Patroller login and logout events are not sent using the live events method. To send
these events, you must also use the
offload method. For more information, see https://techdocs.genetec.com/access/sources/dita/topic?ft:clusterId=EN/PT/R_PT_OffloadPage&ft:locale=en-US
- If the patrol vehicle loses its cellular connection and then the connection is restored,
Patroller sends the missed reads to Security Center, but it does not send the missed
patrol vehicle position data. The position data must be offloaded using the
offload method at the end of the
shift.
- If you select only certain events to send live to Security Center, you can send the rest
of the events at the end of the shift using the
offload method.
