OG-66 Patrol Radio
Patrol radio
The OG-66 is a patrol radio for security teams, supporting cellular push-to-talk, NFC patrol verification, GPS location context, time and attendance, and connected monitoring workflows.
What does the OG-66 do?
Patrol verification
Patrol routes can include named NFC checkpoints. When the OG-66 scans a checkpoint, the patrol event can record the device, checkpoint, date and time for review against the configured route.
GPS and NFC location records
GPS provides wider movement and location context. An NFC checkpoint scan provides stronger evidence that the device physically reached and scanned a specific patrol point.
Time and attendance
Personnel can use NFC attendance tags with an OG-66 to support clock-in and clock-out workflows.
Monitoring and alerts
Controllers can monitor device signals, configured alerts, patrol completions, battery state and online or offline status. Mobile push notifications can be enabled for configured alert types.
Panic and distress alerts
Panic is activated with a physical button on the radio. A distress point is a specially designated patrol point that can be scanned to send a silent alarm when a guard is in danger.
Battery capacity
The OG-66 has a 5000 mAh battery. Operating time depends on conditions and is not specified here.
Onguard's service provider supports cellular network access across Africa. Network availability still depends on coverage and local conditions.
