GuardWatch is a network-based security management application developed by Datawatch Systems, designed for use by on-site security personnel in commercial buildings. It is part of the Datawatch Total Lobby Solution and integrates with Datawatch's access control systems and central database. Key functions include: - Remote door and elevator control from a security desk, allowing guards to lock, unlock, or secure entry points without leaving their post - Real-time monitoring of access events across single or multiple buildings and entry points - Real-time alarm monitoring with automatic escalation to Datawatch's Central Station if a guard does not acknowledge an alarm within a property manager-defined timeframe - Emergency lockdown of all perimeter doors via a single action - Access to records for credential holders, registered visitors, events, and alarms - Ability to search for and identify credential holders, including locating owners of lost credentials - Configurable guard permissions — property managers can designate what controls each guard has access to
