In today’s environment of savvy thieves and well-equipped criminals, cameras do not equate to full-blown security. And yet, many businesses don’t make physical security a priority in risk management. Only in the aftermath of a crime, however, does the gap in security become clear. In fact, a Department of Justice study found that CCTV systems offer modest reductions in crime, and they work best when actively monitored and paired with other measures such as improved lighting, on-site patrols, or signage.
That’s where the importance of a comprehensive security strategy comes in: : layering tools helps to build a robust defense mechanism to protect businesses and make sure that solution is always doing its job.
At Pro-Vigil, cameras are just a means to our end goal of preventing crime on customer sites. We’re not simply selling cameras for surveillance. We provide a full crime prevention solution, where human expertise, proven system reliability, and real-time responsiveness work together to prevent crimes before they happen.
The Power of People and Tech
The best security is not one-size-fits-all, nor is it a one-pronged approach. In the same way that surveillance is hardly effective without a monitor, today’s security measures lose effectiveness when not making the most of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and automation.
Employing AI in our security solutions has allowed faster response times. With the power of machine learning helping to bolster AI’s capabilities, human monitors have been able to train the system to know what suspicious behavior looks like and how to react to similar patterns.
By joining the power of AI with human expertise, Pro-Vigil is able to better serve customers no matter the industry. Because we look beyond the cameras to interpret, deter, and respond, we strive to provide proactive security solutions, not a reactive record of events.
ProFit™: Ensuring Systems Work 24/7/365
There’s no point in investing in security solutions if there’s no guarantee they’ll always be in action. If a camera goes offline or an audiovisual deterrent fails to activate, security strategies melt in the face of crime.
With Pro-Fit™, Pro-Vigil has made it so that you never have to worry. Our system monitors all equipment across sites and will attempt to programmatically self heal the device whenever something goes offline. If the problem persists, Pro-Fit™ automatically generates a support ticket for deeper investigation so we can take a closer look and troubleshoot either remotely or onsite.
In many poorly maintained public and private camera systems, downtime can become crime prevention failures, especially if those cameras are the only line of defense. Indeed, in any layered security strategy, cohesive functionality is key.
Pro-Fit makes it easier for your entire system to stay online and active to ensure your security is doing what it’s meant to do.
Pro-Safe™: Footage that Means Something
When equipping your security system with cameras and surveillance, it’s easy to become bogged down by the sheer volume of footage recorded. That’s where Pro-Safe™ comes in to relieve human labor and speed up response time.
Each month, our Pro-Safe™ system processes more video than YouTube to help keep our clients’ property secure. When motion is detected, our AI analyzes footage to determine if it’s a threat and routes it to our monitoring team. If a person or a vehicle is confirmed to be on premises, those teams activate audio and visual deterrents and escalate the incident for further review. Because of this, we deter intruders 97% of the time.
In the event that the threat persists, the Pro-Vigil team notifies the site contact and local authorities and provides documentation with video footage for quicker identification and fast follow-up.
ProView™: You’re Always in Control
Being a business owner is a full-time job with few breaks. Securing a business is no different. That’s why Pro-Vigil designed ProView™, a customer portal giving you the power to view your site in real-time from anywhere, via desktop or mobile app. The portal allows you to:
- Arm or disarm your system
- Access event footage
- View crime prevention reports
- Review monitoring protocols
- Schedule planned activities
- Monitor video from all cameras
Pro-View™ empowers our customers with continuous surveillance and provides the peace of mind that the security of their business is at their fingertips.
In the event that a crime was to occur and the need to pull historical footage arises, Pro-View™ can have that to you in just a few clicks. Unlike dated systems where customers file support tickets just to access footage, Pro-View™ puts the power in your hands.
The Bottom Line: Prevent Crime
Pro-Vigil is not a camera provider. Pro-Vigil is a comprehensive crime prevention solution with real business impact.
That’s the difference between being a surveillance provider and a crime prevention partner. We’re not in the business of selling hardware. We’re in the business of protecting your business. And that means amassing a security powerhouse of layered defenses, not a patchwork system of dated technology.
Pro-Vigil gives you the peace of mind to focus on your business and rest easy about its security.
