Properly securing your construction site is of paramount importance. This article will discuss securing your site and how smart security cameras can help you identify and respond to real risk versus a false alarm.
Consider the power of digital IP technology coupled with a solar powered security camera. Together, these innovative tools keep businesses safe all around the globe. Here’s what to look for in a solar powered IP security camera.
Picking out the right systems and services can be a hassle when there are so many to choose from. And sometimes security systems fall under the radar when doing vendor assessments.
Clients want to monitor their businesses and lower their risk with the latest smart technology. But these “cool tools” take up a lot of bandwidth and storage.
Social distancing and mask requirements have created issues with both employees and customers. Security video surveillance can help mitigate these challenges.
With the FBI reporting more than 7 million property crimes in 2018, and losses estimated at more than $16 billion, it’s no wonder that many businesses have implemented video surveillance as their primary line of defense.
Theft, arson, and vandalism of storage units is on the rise. If your units have not yet been affected, you are in the minority of national storage facilities. These crimes are costly both financially and to your reputation.
We know that every 43 seconds a car is stolen in the United States. What makes it worse is that only 6% of the thieves are caught.
Crime wreaks havoc on businesses, from financial loss, to forced periods of downtime (which are often even more costly than a crime incident), to potential hits to your reputation.
21% of construction sites experience a theft on a weekly basis. That statistic is truly daunting, especially when the project doesn’t have access to utilities, electricity, or even so much as a place to store machinery and tools.
It is sad but true that the American economy has taken a downward turn this year. Historically, times of financial difficulty are met with heightened criminal activity. Dealerships are not immune to this costly problem.
Which camera should you use to protect your business? Each option serves as an “eye” into your business, but you will need more to keep watch of your property – and keep crime out.

The time required for a video event to begin initial review will take no longer than thirty (30) seconds from the time it is received (except during Maintenance Windows). Any breach by Company of this guarantee will be referred to as a “Queue Time Interruption.”
Company’s monitoring platform will be operational 99.999% of the time (except during Maintenance Windows). Any breach by Company of this guarantee will be referred to as a “Monitoring Platform Interruption.”
The time required to notify Client if 50% or more of their onsite equipment becomes inaccessible will take no longer than one hour (except during Maintenance Windows). Any breach by Company of this guarantee will be referred to as a “Critical System Interruption.”
The duration of (a) Queue Time Interruption, (b) Video Uptime Interruption, or (c) Critical System Interruption will be measured from the time Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Interruption began until the time that Company, in its sole discretion, considers the Interruption ended.
For each continuous thirty-minute (a) Queue Time Interruption, (b) Monitoring Platform Interruption, or (c) Critical System Interruption, Company will credit Client’s account five (5) percent (each an “SLA Credit”) of Client’s Four Week Billing amount, up to 100% of such invoices. Interruptions lasting less than thirty continuous minutes will not qualify for SLA Credits.
To receive an SLA Credit, Client must submit an SLA Ticket through https://portal.pro-vigil.info within seven (7) days of an Interruption.
Client’s SLA Ticket must contain:
Company will determine, in its sole discretion, the validity of each claim. For each valid claim Company will issue an SLA Credit within thirty (30) days of its determination that the claim is valid.
Client may qualify for SLA Credits for more than one type of guarantee, but the total SLA Credits given in any one Four Week Billing Period cannot exceed 100% of Client’s invoice for Video Monitoring Services in the Four Week Billing Period the Service Interruption occurred.
SLA Credits will only be paid as a credit toward Client’s account and will not be paid in cash.
SLA Credits are limited by this Agreement.
SLA Credits may not be issued, and any applicable SLA Credits may be forfeited, if:
If Company determines that the issues identified in an SLA Ticket were the result of Client’s action or inaction, Company’s support required to repair these actions taken (or by another person authorized to access Client’s account) will be billed to Client as additional support at Company’s then current rate.
“Maintenance Windows” include both Scheduled Maintenance Windows (for example, Client received prior notice) and Emergency Maintenance Windows (for example, because of immediate threats to Company’s systems or to Client’s equipment, Client received no prior notice).
This SLA provides Company’s only liability for malfunctions of, defects in, or any other performance-related issues associated with a particular Service. Client’s sole and exclusive remedy against Company for failure to meet the metrics set out in the SLA shall be the remedies set out in this document.
Company reserves the right to Modify this SLA at its sole discretion.
