Pro-Vigil is conducting research to better understand the biggest physical security challenges facing businesses in 2022 – and we want your input (it won’t take longer than 2 minutes, we promise.)
Strong security requires a combination of people, processes and technology – but does that include employing physical security guards?
A remote video monitoring service costs a fraction of what an onsite security guard does. You can get much more bang for your buck at a much more affordable price.
If you ask any law enforcement officer when theft, vandalism and other property crimes typically occur, the odds are they’ll tell you it’s at night.
Remote video surveillance allows you to outsource security to a team of experts who make use of modern technology with plain old human intelligence. How you use these services is up to you.
We’ve written about construction theft risk many times on our blog. And it’s no secret that materials costs are skyrocketing, which has increased the risk of theft of lumber, tools, metals and even heavy machinery.
A set of parking garages across a city will have much different security infrastructure needs compared to a series of retail storefronts. An enterprise security management plan takes on all of these challenges, mitigating risk in a variety of settings.
Over the years, video surveillance tools have taken a big step forward to respond to an increasingly bigger job. The threat of on-site crime, violence, and disruption has increased. But so have the tools we use to improve our security response.
D.R. Horton is America’s largest residential homebuilder, having delivered more than 830,000 homes since its inception in 1978. Since 2002, more homebuyers have chosen D.R. Horton than any other national builder. The company has teams spread across 29 states and 91 markets.
Stolen lumber for sale on Craigslist, “used” catalytic converters on Facebook Marketplace and construction tools on eBay. In the internet age, it’s never been easier for criminals to sell their loot – and it’s happening in broad daylight, on the same sites where millions of legitimate transactions occur every day.
Continuing our “Ask the Expert” blog series, which gives readers a chance to ask our team of video surveillance experts their most pressing questions, today’s question is: How can I watch my CCTV over the internet?
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?
Welcome to “Ask the Experts” – a chance for Pro-Vigil’s team of video surveillance experts to answer your questions about surveillance technology, logistics and beyond. Have a question? Go ahead and ask it, and we’ll do our best to answer it for you.
As troublesome as this is for both homebuilders and homeowners from a financial perspective, the consequences of skyrocketing lumber costs extend beyond the wallet.
With millions of Americans already vaccinated and many COVID-19 restrictions lifted, most states are back open for business. While it may feel like life is getting back to a sense of normalcy for some, many businesses are finding that this “new normal” is anything but that.
Construction sites often contain valuable materials and equipment, and are often vulnerable to theft. Here’s how you can take measures to prevent construciton site theft.
Like any security technology, video surveillance is an investment – and it’s important to use the system to its full potential while getting a maximum return on your investment.
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?
If you’re a small or medium business (SMB) owner, investing in a security system can be intimidating. Let’s simplify the process with our guide to security systems for SMBs.
The catalytic converter is one of the most vulnerable parts of a parked car, especially on a dealership lot. How can you protect it?
In an interview with Jeremy White, we discuss security system blind spots and the best ways to avoid them.
The price of any technology installation varies by the number of features you select. When considering a new surveillance system, a variety of factors come into play that increases or decreases costs.
