Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, AllegroTrans

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It is a security service that involves placing security guards at your premises, usually out of hours but sometimes when staff are still present."

Another possibility is guard post - however, I don't know if this is specific to Ecuador.

"Visiting national parks No permit is needed to visit Ecuador’s national parks; you simply turn up and pay your entrance fee if there’s a warden (guardaparque) at the guard post (guardería) to collect it. Entrance to protected areas usually either costs $10 or $5, roughly"

agree philgoddard : "Security guards" or something like that would be better if you want to avoid sexism.

Spanish term (edited): guardería/s

'lookout /watchdog' guard post/s

guardería > guard post, Simon & Schuster.

Also needs to pluralis/ze and not entirely clear - except perhaps to non-pro voters - whether means a roster of security-guard rounds.
Example sentence:

guard post (plural guard posts) A location where a guard is posted (station), often having a guardhouse.

Security guard shifts

Could be an option.
Example sentence:

This may have worked when you only had to schedule ten security guard shifts...

Security guard shifts should overlap and not allow periods where.
