This section provides an overview of a typical Genetec Patroller™ Standalone workflow.
Before you begin your patrol
These are the common tasks to perform before you begin patrolling. If you can’t complete the tasks on this checklist, contact the Genetec Patroller™ administrator before starting your patrol.
