Businesses securing their properties using video surveillance face an impossible balancing act: protecting assets while drowning in a flood of surveillance footage. With cameras rolling 24/7, the sheer volume of data can leave even the most dedicated security teams struggling to keep up. Scrubbing through hours of footage to pinpoint threats is like finding a needle in a haystack—time-consuming, frustrating, and far from efficient.
However, without key insights from the events taking place, it’s nearly impossible to make informed business decisions with better outcomes. This is where Pro-Vigil’s artificial intelligence (AI) excels, not only in detecting crime but also in streamlining crime deterrence processes and getting information to customers faster.
Protecting Properties with AI
If you’re already a Pro-Vigil customer, then you’re familiar with how Pro-Vigil uses AI to combat theft and vandalism head-on. By integrating AI technology into our remote video monitoring (RVM) solutions, Pro-Vigil enables faster crime detection and deterrence, offering businesses unparalleled security and peace of mind. Traditional security measures often rely on manual monitoring or static alerts, which can lead to delayed responses and missed opportunities to prevent incidents.
Pro-Vigil’s AI-powered systems work in real-time to analyze patterns, detect suspicious activities, and initiate audio and visual deterrents. Potential threats are identified and deterred before they escalate, preventing costly damages and delays. By minimizing false alarms and automating routine processes, valuable time and resources are freed up so that businesses can focus on other priorities.
Pro-Vigil Puts GenAI to Use
Did you know Pro-Vigil is also using AI behind the scenes to streamline internal processes and get information to customers faster than ever? While many people associate generative AI (GenAI) with popular tools like ChatGPT for writing or coding help, or DALL-E and Midjourney for generating photos, the technology can also be applied to physical security. Pro-Vigil does just that by using GenAI to sift through enormous amounts of surveillance video—about 70 million recorded security events monthly.
Instead of manually reviewing hours of footage, Pro-Vigil’s AI-powered systems analyze video feeds in real-time, categorizing events and identifying key moments of interest. It then automatically generates concise summaries of security incidents on each customer site, providing a breakdown of what happened, when, and what actions were taken. Pro-Vigil’s forensic analysis team then reviews the event summaries for accuracy before they are shared with customers. This accelerates how quickly customers receive information on what’s taking place at their sites so they can make informed decisions faster.
Previously, handling the entire process—from compiling videos and creating a timeline to writing and publishing summaries—could take multiple days on average, given the volume of crime prevention cases managed. With the workflow now automated, that time is reduced by more than 75% on average and Pro-Vigil is working to get that number down even further.
Introducing the Crime Prevention Newsletter
Pro-Vigil is leveraging the power of GenAI and faster reporting to launch Crime Prevention Newsletters. This monthly email provides each customer with a comprehensive and customized overview of significant activity at their sites. The newsletter highlights key security metrics, such as:
- Motion events
- Interventions
- Arrests
Designed to keep clients informed and empowered, the newsletter also includes specific incident summaries, giving businesses a clear understanding of how their security needs are being addressed. By delivering this information directly to customers, Pro-Vigil reinforces its commitment to transparency and strengthens its partnership with the businesses it serves.
