Online alarm clock for 2:14 am
Pause the security patrol you are halfway through and set the alarm for 2:14 am, so you can break away for the site handover without watching the clock. That leaves a useful stretch before 3:00 am for finishing the current round, checking access points and bringing the log up to date before the next guard takes over.
During a security shift, the alarm page may end up behind the incident log, camera view or another browser screen. A background page can be slowed by the browser, so keep this one available and check that your sound is audible before returning to the patrol. If the page is closed or the phone is allowed to sleep, the security shift handover can pass without an alert; use a separate alarm as backup when the timing cannot slip.
Coming in from a dark patrol area to complete paperwork at 2:14 am can make a brightly lit desk feel abrupt. Before the handover, switch on a lower nearby light and reduce unnecessary screen glare, while leaving enough illumination to read keys, names and log entries clearly. Setting that light up ahead of time avoids fumbling with switches when the alarm sounds and the other guard is waiting.
Common questions
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
