Daylight Savings can really ruin an existing schedule and create security gaps. Check things now before winter makes it fall out of sync.
Modern cars most often use transponder-type key fobs, rather than physical ones. How do thieves steal new keyless cars, and how can you stop them?
Should great outdoor lighting be your property’s first line of defense? Well, there are upsides – but they’re not as ironclad as you might think.
Unlike standard security cameras, LPR systems are optimized to handle glare, motion blur, and poor lighting — all common issues when trying to capture plates on moving vehicles, especially at night.
Enterprise security teams don’t buy cameras one at a time like a small business might. Enterprises buy systems that need to work the same way at a construction site in Texas as they do at a distribution center in Ohio.
One of the more common mistakes in designing a commercial CCTV security system is picking hardware before understanding the site.
A mobile surveillance unit is built to secure a property that lacks hardwired reliable electricity or internet that a “fixed” camera system would use.
Compared to other large American cities, NYC holds up well on the crimes that carry the highest stakes.

Why are copper prices surging? There are several factors converging at once: heavy Chinese buying, a softer dollar, tightening global supply, and a 50% tariff on imported copper from 2025 that pushed domestic prices higher still.
Prior to the widespread adoption of broadband Internet, analog CCTV was the only option. These cameras still exist today, but they work quite differently from IP cameras. For businesses comparing camera systems, the right choice depends on image quality, network infrastructure, storage, remote access, analytics, scalability, and long-term security goals.
These are core, indelible parts of the Pro-Vigil platform, and each one handles a different, equally critical part of the job of keeping your property safe.
Heat rarely takes a camera offline instantly in one dramatic failure. More commonly, heat stress manifests as a handful of smaller symptoms that add up and get more frequent over time.
Equipment prep only solves half the problem, since a storm can knock out a site’s power or connectivity no matter how well the cameras are mounted.
False alarms are one of those problems that seem minor for a business until they aren’t.
Security camera footage can take up a lot of bandwidth and storage. How long should businesses keep their CCTV footage?
Last week, we kicked off our new “Ask the Expert” blog series, which gives readers a chance to ask our team of video surveillance experts their most pressing questions. Today’s inquiring minds want to know: What causes ghosting on CCTV?
One of the most significant advantages of security video analytics is its ability to prevent and detect crime. Surveillance cameras equipped with AI can monitor large areas and respond in real time to security threats.
Most ROI conversations about security focus on theft prevention, which is fair but incomplete. Remote video monitoring also affects several cost categories that businesses rarely think to include in the calculation.
When it comes to your business, providing security should be a top priority. But unlike decades prior, these days, you aren’t just limited to physical, on-site security guards.
A virtual security guard has many benefits, including more oversight – but is this solution right for your business? Here are some tips.
