Alarm call-out report

Send the owner a report after every alarm call-out

Your officer attends the alarm and fills in a short form on their phone. The owner gets a clear report with the times, what was found, photos and proof that your team was there.

Patrolly alarm call-out report: the officer’s phone form on the left and the report the owner receives on the right, with times, result, photos and signature

From alarm to report in four steps

  1. 1

    The officer is sent

    Your operator creates the job in the control room and sends the nearest officer.

  2. 2

    The officer arrives

    They tap “I’ve arrived”. The time and the phone’s location are saved, as proof that they were there.

  3. 3

    A short form, on the spot

    They pick the result, write a line about what they found and take a few photos.

  4. 4

    The owner gets the report

    One tap sends it by email to the home owner or the company owner.

What the officer fills in

Short on purpose. An officer can finish it in a minute, standing at the gate.

  • The result: all secure, false alarm, attempted entry or police called
  • A line or two about what they found
  • Photos of the gate, the doors or anything unusual
  • Their signature on the screen

What the owner gets

A clean one-page report. The status is at the top, so the owner sees at once that all is well.

  • The status at the top: all secure, or what needs attention
  • The alarm time, the arrival time and the response time
  • Proof of arrival: the phone’s saved location and time
  • What the officer found, with photos
  • The officer’s name and signature

Home owners and companies get the right report

Home owners

A short report in plain words. It says the officer came, what they found and that the home is secure.

Company owners

A fuller report for business sites. It adds the zone, the site contact and who was called, and it carries a reference number.

Reports without more logins

Only your own staff log in to Patrolly. Owners and clients just get an email.

No login for owners

The owner opens an email. There is nothing to install and no password to forget.

Your logo and your words

The report carries your company logo. Home owners and companies can each have their own wording.

Only the right people

Each property has its own list of people who get the report. Every report that goes out is logged.

Questions

Common questions

Not here? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer.

Does the owner need a login?
No. The owner gets the report by email and opens it like any other email. Only your own staff log in to Patrolly.
Can the report go by WhatsApp?
By email today. Sending on WhatsApp can be added. It needs a WhatsApp Business account, and WhatsApp charges for each message sent that way.
Does Patrolly know when an alarm goes off?
Not by itself. Your operator creates the job from the alarm in your existing software and sends the officer. See the control room.
Can the officer send it without a signal?
Patrolly needs a mobile data signal today. Saving the form and sending it later is planned.
Can we change what is in the report?
Yes. You choose the wording and the logo, and you can have one report for homes and another for companies.
Is the report kept?
Yes. Every report is saved with the job, and you can search and download it later. A sent report is locked. Corrections are added as notes.
Are photos of someone’s home kept safe?
Photos are saved on Patrolly’s servers and sent only to the people on that property’s list. Every report that goes out is logged. See Security and POPIA.
