Pro-Vigil works with some of the largest home builders in the country and we recently surveyed one of them to find out just how much of an impact theft and other crimes are having on their operations.
Often packed with pricey metals like copper, or even desirable parts like catalytic converters, thieves know they can cash in quickly by selling stolen merchandise to scrap yards.
Welding machines come in different shapes, sizes and functionalities. But the one thing they have in common is an expensive price tag. That’s why they are a common target for thieves.
Most of us don’t think of small trailers as a theft target, but they are. It takes thieves approximately two minutes to steal a small trailer, even when the trailer is secured with chains and wheel locks.
From dealerships to body shops and beyond, catalytic converter thefts continue to wreak havoc across the country and can happen virtually anywhere.
Loaded with hazardous materials and dangerous conditions, the site of a former psychiatric hospital in Northville Township, Michigan is not where trespassers should be.
It’s no secret that most people think the economy and crime are linked. Specifically, crime tends to increase during rough patches and decrease in better times.
Thieves become more brazen, business operations change, or a global pandemic enters the scene. In any event, security strategies need to be re-examined twice a year at a minimum.
Leverage our top five “not-so-secret” features that go beyond security, help optimize business operations, and maximize your security investment.
Old school padlocks, tall fencing, and self-storage security camera systems that simply record activity aren’t enough anymore.

In our latest flash poll, we asked: How do you secure your business? The results are in.
When organizations weigh their options for active security, they often make a choice between “I hire security guards,“ or ”I choose a remote video monitoring service (RVM).” Both approaches to security have their strengths and weaknesses, but one offers significant cost and reliability advantages – RVM.
There’s no denying that collision repair centers are a thief’s dream target. Not only are they full of pricey tools, pieces of equipment and replacement parts, but they regularly have customer vehicles on-site for repairs that are packed with valuable parts.
Modern security solutions can help retail store owners catch crimes as they’re happening – instead of just recording the event for documentation.
Tire shops, car dealerships, and rental car lots are common targets for tire thieves because they have exactly what they need: an abundance of vehicles each equipped with valuable tires and rims.
Cannabis is a cash business, primarily because federal laws still list marijuana as an illegal substance. This presents huge problems for dispensary security. With all that cash exchanging hands, dispensaries are a prime target for theft.
In the latest edition of our “Ask the Experts” blog series, Pro-Vigil’s team of video surveillance experts are answering the question: what should you consider when upgrading surveillance cameras?
Every business has its own issues and security challenges that must be addressed. You’ll want to pin down which features you need your security system to have, which will help you find the right type of security camera for your property.
Windows are broken, wires are ripped, and you’re left with vehicles that can’t be driven without repair. But what exactly are thieves after? The airbags (and a quick profit, of course).
Summer is on its way, with warmer weather and brighter skies. But summer is also one of the most common seasons for natural disasters to strike.
