Telaeris, Inc. has announced a significant upgrade to its XPressEntry platform at ISC West 2026 with the launch of the XPressEntry Guard Tour.
This enhancement integrates advanced patrol tracking and guard tour management into the existing XPressEntry application, used for badge validation, emergency mustering, and entry and exit tracking. The new Guard Tour feature allows security teams to manage all functions from one device, eliminating the need for separate tools or apps. The latest update aims to streamline the security operations by equipping personnel with the means to execute their duties seamlessly.
Patrol Tracking System
Incorporating the guard tour functionality into XPressEntry transforms the handheld readers into a comprehensive patrol tracking system.
Security personnel can plan and execute guard tours via the XPressEntry management platform, enabling real-time tracking of patrol routes and verifying checkpoint visits. Additionally, the system offers the facility to report incidents with multimedia capabilities—audio, photos, notes, and video—which are sent back to the Security Operations Center (SOC) for effective issue management.
Daily Security Operations
This functionality allows them to carry out all patrol-related activities within a familiar interface
Operating the XPressEntry Guard Tour is user-friendly, with guards simply switching modes within the XPressEntry app on their handheld device. This functionality allows them to carry out all patrol-related activities within a familiar interface.
The unified approach provides organizations with a seamless method to oversee daily security operations. Personnel can authenticate themselves using their existing badges, follow patrol routes, check in at designated checkpoints, record incidents, and sync activity with the XPressEntry system using a single, durable device.
Authenticated Employee Challenges
Dr. David Carta, CEO of Telaeris Inc., stated, "The goal of XPressEntry Guard Tour is to provide a needed capability for security professionals out in the field. With one device, guards can perform authenticated employee challenges, report incidents with video, monitor guard tours, and have their location tracked, improving their safety." This integration aligns with Telaeris' mission to supply security teams with optimal tools for safety and verification, leveraging the XPressEntry platform to enhance operational efficiency.
Unified Mobile Platform
The XPressEntry Guard Tour is designed for challenging environments, functioning offline with automatic data synchronization once connectivity is regained. It delivers enhanced insights into patrol completion, checkpoint activities, and field incidents via a single, reliable application.
Telaeris invites ISC West 2026 attendees to visit booth #6054 in Las Vegas, where the company demonstrates how XPressEntry is evolving into a comprehensive mobile platform for modern physical security operations, enabling organizations to optimize processes with fewer devices and streamlined workflows.
Telaeris, Inc., a provider of handheld solutions for Physical Access Control Systems (PACS), announces a major expansion of the XPressEntry platform at ISC West 2026 with the introduction of XPressEntry Guard Tour, expanding the XPressEntry handheld experience to include advanced patrol tracking and guard tour management.
Rather than forcing security teams to deploy separate guard tour devices, standalone software, or disconnected mobile apps, Telaeris has built Guard Tour directly into the same XPressEntry application security personnel are already using for badge validation, emergency mustering, entry and exit tracking, and identity verification.
Patrol tracking system
Security teams can be bogged down by carrying a vest full of different gadgets used for a variety of tasks. By incorporating guard tour functionality into XPressEntry, Telaeris has turned its handheld readers into a complete patrol tracking system.
Guard tours can be planned from the XPressEntry management platform, tracking real time location of guards, and verifying that checkpoints are appropriately visited. Additionally, XPressEntry Guard Tour provides the ability to report incidents, complete with audio, photos, notes, and video, directly back to the SOC, ensuring that critical issues can be managed efficiently.
Daily security operations
The operation of XPressEntry Guard Tour could not be easier. Guards simply toggle modes within the XPressEntry app on the handheld reader to move into Guard Tour mode. From here they can perform all of their patrol activities within the same familiar XPressEntry interface. Telaeris has turned its handheld reader into a complete patrol tracking system.
This unified approach gives organizations a more streamlined way to manage daily security operations in the field. Security personnel can self-authenticate with their existing badge, follow patrol routes, scan checkpoints, document incidents, and synchronize patrol activity back to the XPressEntry system, all from the same rugged handheld badge and biometric reader.
Authenticated employee challenges
“The goal of XPressEntry Guard Tour is to provide a needed capability for security professionals out in the field. With one device, guards can perform authenticated employee challenges, report incidents with video, monitor guard tours, and have their location tracked, improving their safety,” said Dr. David Carta, CEO of Telaeris Inc. “Telaeris’ philosophy is to empower security teams with the best tools for safety and verification with help from our XPressEntry platform.”
With XPressEntry Guard Tour, organizations can configure patrol routes and schedules from the XPressEntry Web Console and verify that guards complete checkpoint-based patrols throughout a facility. Supervisors gain GPS visibility into patrol activity, while guards can document incidents directly from the handheld reader using photos, video, audio, and notes.
Unified mobile platform
Designed for demanding environments, XPressEntry Guard Tour can operate offline and automatically synchronises data once connectivity is restored, giving security teams better visibility into patrol completion, checkpoint activity, and incidents in the field through one trusted application.
Telaeris is showcasing XPressEntry Guard Tour at ISC West 2026 in Las Vegas. Attendees are invited to visit booth #6054 to see how XPressEntry is expanding into a more unified mobile platform for modern physical security operations, helping organizations do more with fewer devices and more connected workflows.
