Why GPS matters for security

Live location turns a guard from a name on a roster into a verifiable presence on site. But raw GPS isn't the story — what matters is accuracy, battery efficiency, and what happens when the network drops.

Accuracy vs battery

Chasing 1-metre accuracy drains batteries in hours. STAR SURKSHA uses adaptive sampling: dense points when moving, heartbeat pings when stationary. Guards last a full shift without babysitting the phone.

Offline capture

Sites often have poor coverage. Points are stored in an on-device outbox and synced when the network returns — no gaps in the timeline.

Route replay

Every shift is replayable. Investigate an incident by scrubbing through the exact positions and timestamps.
