TekPatrol is a state-of-the-art asset management monitoring system providing real-time monitoring of any device with a serial connection and released protocol. Unlike other monitoring systems that require static IP addresses, TekPatrol uses a proprietary auto-discovery method allowing each TekMonitor to be installed with its IP address set to DHCP. No longer do you have to wait for static IP addresses from your IT group.

Use TekPatrol to monitor devices such as video projectors, plasma and LCD monitors from Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic, Sharp and many other manufacturers.

TekPatrol is a Client/Server device management and control tool that uses both hardware and software to monitor and control a device over the campus IP network. Hardware installed at the monitored device provides real-time monitoring using a mini-control system called TekMonitor. A software application called TekPatrol gathers information from the TekMonitors and displays it in an easy to read format on an administrator's PC. By having a mini-control system monitor a device improves reliability and allows for all types of other equipment to be monitored, not just projectors made by a single manufacturer.

Another benefit of the TekMonitor is its ability to monitor equipment by itself, send email notifications and usage reports to the administrator, or send a security email if the device becomes disconnected. Each server is programmed using the TekWizard software application which makes it easy to include room and device driver information.

To control a device, TekPatrol incorporates a software application called TekControl. This application runs from a PC located in the room with the monitored device. Unlike other device controllers that use a Web browser to control the device, TekControl is a secure software application.
