Pro-Vigil launches two new products at the PBIOS
Pro-Vigil exhibited at the Permian Basin International Oil Show (PBIOS) this past week and unveiled two new product. It was one of the largest oil shows in the US and was well attended. Our surveillance and lighting products were well received.
Pro-Vigil spent the last year developing a solar light tower (SPOT). This is an alternative to the traditional light tower that requires fuel. SPOT, unlike traditional light towers, doesn’t require fuel and produces no sound or fumes. SPOT is also a complement to surveillance units by adding additional lighting where required, improving the range of the cameras.
Pro-Vigil also introduced a Solar Powered Station (SPS) that with provide power to the popular MD surveillance unit when power is an issue. See how SPS works.
The SPS will power the pole mounted Virtual Guard Station MD unit without the need for secondary power. The MD can be shipped to any location and is ideal for those smaller projects, or projects that may require multiple units to gain two or more vantage points.

09-30-12 Lithia Springs, GA – In this video, Pro-Vigil Virtual Guards called police to a construction site where some individuals were entering after hours. Police arrived, and after confirming with our customer that nobody should be there, escorted the people out.
Make live video surveillance with Humanalytics a staple of your construction security system by partnering with Pro-Vigil.
Pro-Vigil is now using thermal cameras for those hard to reach places that are far away and poorly lit. This particular site is very dark and the backside boarders a wooded area. The only option was to add an additional unit near the wooded area, or add a thermal camera to the existing mobile surveillance unit. The thermal camera was less expensive and did the job. This individual was detected at 400+ft and the police department responded within 5 minutes with the K9 unit. Individual wasn’t found, but the site was cleared and no theft reported.
New camera test for our Solar Surveillance Unit (Scarecrow). Axis Communications claims to have the solution for low-light applications with their new Q1602. We thought we would test our good friends at Axis, so we ordered two of the Q1602 IP Cameras and added them to one of our solar units. This will be the true test. Our Solar Surveillance Unit has no lights or IR and the site we picked is 60 miles south of San Antonio watching the backside of a large commercial construction project.
As you can see in the pictures, there is no additional lighting or structures in the area that could aid the cameras view at night. This is a true ambient light scenario. Because this site is in a rural area, we’ve decreased the resolution to 320×240 to allow us to continuously monitor the site live with little or no interruption in the video stream (limited bandwidth).

Now that the night views are in, we have an idea of the capabilities of the Axis Q1602. The first camera was in our opinion a good enough view, but the second was not. The light in the distance blinded the camera. If it was equipped with wide dynamic range, this view may have looked much better.
Pro-Vigil has to be ready to stand up to any environment and this latest camera is another tool in our belt for low-light situations. If you need intrusion prevention, including a low-light scenario, Pro-Vigil has a Mobile Surveillance Unit ready to go.

Deterred or Arrested
This is a number of sites protected by Pro-Vigil’s live surveillance services. These videos capture individuals being deterred and arrested. Pro-Vigil remotely activates alarms (sirens, strobes, pre-recorded voice warnings) once a potential threat is identified on a clients site. If the unwanted guest doesn’t immediately respond to the alarms, Pro-Vigil’s dispatch center located in San Antonio, TX quickly contacts the local authorities and managers of the site. The key to our success is the low number of cameras assigned to each Monitor, alarms that can be remotely activated, and our drive to remain the best live surveillance company in the industry.
