Addressing the Challenge:
<br><br>
The security industry faces a persistent challenge: ensuring that security guards diligently follow their designated patrol routes, effectively safeguarding properties and personnel. Our prototype tackles this challenge head-on by providing a real-time, comprehensive solution for monitoring security guard patrols. Our system meticulously captures and records the security guard's every movement, providing a detailed record of their patrol path. This tracking capability enables immediate identification of any deviations from the established patrol route, allowing for timely intervention.

Innovation and Key Concepts:
<br><br>
Our prototype transcends conventional security solutions by incorporating groundbreaking features and adopting an innovative approach. At the core of our system lies a sophisticated GPS tracking technology that continuously monitors the security guard's movements, providing precise information about their patrol route. This real-time tracking capability goes beyond mere location monitoring; it captures the guard's pace, direction, and any pauses or deviations, creating a comprehensive picture of their patrol activities.

Complementing the GPS tracking system is a powerful data analytics platform that transforms raw patrol data into actionable insights. Our platform analyzes patrol patterns, identifying areas of frequent coverage, potential gaps in security, and any unusual deviations from established routes. These insights empower security managers to optimize patrol routes, ensuring that every area receives the necessary attention.

After the valuable experience and knowledge learnt about requiring the Raspberry Pi to provide date and time for the Neo M6 GPS Hat. I decided to try and fix the problems that was unresolved back in the hackathon week. <br><br>
Since the date and time information can be obtainable from other sources, I prioritized in troubleshooting and the retrieval of GPS location coordinates. Previously in the hackathon, I was successful in getting the NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) messages from the GPS module to display on the Arduino IDE's serial monitor. However, despite using various GPS libraries like TinyGPS to parse the GPS data, the serial monitor kept showing that the location was not available, even when the device was under the sun with zero obstructions in the way. <br><br>
After looking through various information about GPS modules, testing different GPS libraries, and checking for any missing inputs in my C++ code. The GPS coordinates still remained unretrievable. As a result, I made the decision to acquire another Neo 6M GPS Module without the Raspberry Pi hat attached to it. Surprisingly, after connecting the new GPS module to the ESP32 Nodemcu, it functioned properly without requiring any modifications to the C++ code. Therefore, suspecting a potential fault in the GPS module leading to the absence of not providing GPS coordinates.

Considering the potential inaccuracy of altitude readings, I intend to enhance the precision by incorporating a barometric pressure sensor for indoor altitude measurements.
