Supervisory mobile application for GuardExpert PRO security management system

Abstract

GuardExpert PRO (GEP) is an Internet of Thing (IoT) based Guard Touring System (GTS) which replaces the conventional GTS with real-time data upload from checkpoint scan, online reporting, and summons using GEP's mobile application installed on the mobile device carried by the guards on patrolling duty. For the guards' supervisors, they can monitor all guards' activities by browsing the GEP website. However, browsing the website using smartphone sometimes is a hassle because it offers low Quality of Experience (QoE) as the website display is normally unorganized and not mobile friendly. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to develop a supervisory mobile application for the GEP security system. From the comparison with different development tools, Flutter is selected for the mobile application development in this project as it can build applications for Android and iOS with a single codebase effortlessly and with high performance. From the performance investigation, it is observed that the developed Flutter based mobile application achieves high QoE as it is free from the analyzed browsing experience issues. The average response time for the user interfaces also shows an improvement of 7.43% through the developed mobile application as compared to through the website.
