E-Beat is an electronic beat constable’s night patrolling attendance system to avoid manual recording of time & attendance and to save the time by sign-in / sign-off at different beat points while patrolling. Analogics Tech India Limited has developed the Electronic Beat (eBeat) for Police Department. In this process, the beat book is replaced with an RFID tag, which contains a unique ID, fixed at the location of the beat point book. The pen is replaced by a compact, hand held RFID Tag Reader which records the unique ID of the tag when operated near a Tag. The reader will be connected to an interface to the Computer at the police station to download the information of the various locations RFID tags data in the beat.

Each beat constable performing the night patrolling is assigned with one reader, while performing his beat duty; he reads the RFID tag information from various points in the beat and download the information to the computer at the Police Station.
