10. A method for scheduling security of real property via an interactive security system,

a) inputting information into a system database, the information comprising information regarding personnel who can access the interactive system and information regarding the real property;

b) setting up individual security posts or groups of security posts within the real property, creating a schedule of tasks to be completed, developing a tour of the posts for the personnel to follow, and developing incidents and items related to the security of the real property for the personnel to check;

c) creating an alert and a method of sending the alert to the personnel;

d) allowing access to the system database by the personnel through remote devices so as to allow the personnel to obtain the schedule and or the tour from the system database;

e) allowing the personnel to input additional information to and update the information in the system database; and

f) providing for real time access to the information in the system database and the additional information provided by the personnel;

wherein at least one of the tasks is assigned to at least one of the individual security posts or at least one of the groups of security posts,

whereby the scheduling of the tasks is made according to the individual security posts or the groups of security posts, thereby enabling a manager to assign the at least one of the tasks to any of the individual security posts or the groups of security posts.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising, after the steps of creating the schedule of tasks to be completed and developing the tour of the posts for the personnel, the personnel follow the schedule of tasks assigned to the individual security post or the group of security posts according to the tour.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising the step of scheduling the tour in different ways and on different days, whereby the personnel follow the schedule assigned to the individual security posts or the groups of security posts in different ways and on different days.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising having the personnel log in to any of the individual security posts or any of the groups of security posts.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising the step of generating the alert if a task is not completed and delivering the alert to appropriate parties through a number of different receiving media.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14, further comprising the steps of customizing the alert, selecting the appropriate parties to whom the alert is to be delivered, and selecting the receiving media.

16. The method as claimed in claim 15, further comprising the step of generating the alert at set intervals based on the input to the system database from the personnel at the real property site.

17. The method as claimed in claim 15, further comprising the step of generating the alert in real time based on the input to the system database from the personnel at the real property site.

18. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising the step of using the information regarding the real property to develop the tours to be completed by the personnel by selecting locations within and around the real property, organizing the locations into a coherent list, and creating the tour.

19. The method as claimed in claim 18, wherein as the personnel is completing the tour, the personnel is simultaneously entering the incidents into the system database and the system database is automatically updating.

20. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the incidents are pre-inputted into the system database, the incidents are assigned a level of importance, and/or the incidents are prioritized in order of importance.

29. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising the step of scheduling the tour in different ways and on different days, whereby the personnel follow the schedule assigned to the individual security posts or the groups of security posts in different ways and on different days.

21. A method for scheduling security of real property via an interactive security system, comprising the steps of:

a) inputting information into a system database, the information comprising information regarding personnel who can access the interactive system and information regarding the real property;

b) using the information for setting up individual security posts or groups of security posts within the real property, creating a schedule of tasks to be completed, developing a tour of the posts for the personnel to follow, and developing incidents and items related to the security of the real property for the personnel to check;

c) allowing access to the system database by the personnel through remote devices so as to allow the personnel to obtain the schedule and or the tour from the system database;

d) allowing the personnel to input additional information to and update the information in the system database;

e) providing for real time access to the information in the system database and the additional information provided by the personnel;

f) updating in real time the information in the system database based at least in part on the additional information inputted to the system database by the personnel;

g) sending the updated information to the personnel; and

h) creating an alert in real time and a method of sending the alert to the personnel, wherein the alert comprises information regarding the incidents and or the items,

wherein at least one of the tasks is assigned to at least one of the individual security posts or at least one of the groups of security posts,

whereby the scheduling of the tasks is made according to the individual security posts or the groups of security posts, thereby enabling a manager to assign the at least one of the tasks to any of the individual security posts or the groups of security posts.

22. The method as claimed in claim 21, further comprising, after the steps of creating the schedule of tasks to be completed and developing the tour of the posts for the personnel, the personnel follow the schedule of tasks assigned to the individual security post or the group of security posts according to the tour.

23. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein, when updating in real time the information in the system database, the personnel indicates that the incidents and or the items have been investigated during the tour.

24. The method as claimed in claim 23, wherein the alert is created if the incidents and or the items have not been investigated within a certain time and further comprising sending the alert out to predetermined people or groups of people.

25. The method as claimed in claim 23, wherein the alert is created if the incidents or the items occur and further comprising sending the alert out to predetermined people or groups of people upon the occurrence of the incidents or the item.

26. The method as claimed in claim 23, wherein the alert is created if a task is not completed and delivering the alert to appropriate parties through a number of different receiving media.

27. The method as claimed in claim 23, wherein the alert is created at set intervals based on the input to the system database from the personnel at the real property site.

28. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein as the personnel is completing the tour, the personnel is simultaneously entering the incidents into the system database and the system database is automatically updating.
