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.
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.
When people think of mobile video surveillance, they usually think “sites with no infrastructure.” That is, sites without electricity or WiFi connectivity – like those typically found in construction, agriculture, oil and gas exploration, etc.
A construction site doesn’t need a stable structure to attach cameras to, permanent electricity, or even Wi-Fi to benefit from a mobile surveillance system.
Lighting, location, weather, and access to electricity should all be considered if you want to seamlessly protect your business.
We receive a lot of questions about video security tools. Here are some of the most common questions we see (and our best answers) about security cameras, their features, and their installation.
Whatever your reason, you’ve concluded that it’s time to switch your security monitoring company. It may comfort you to know that the process for switching isn’t as complex as you might have imagined. Here are some steps you should follow.
When it comes to protecting property, there should be no question by now that security cameras play an essential role. However, it some situations, businesses may prefer a less obvious approach to surveillance. Discreet security cameras provide a solution that allows for protection without drawing attention to the fact that a space (and the people in it) are monitored.
The technology behind video surveillance has changed radically from two decades ago—and it’s still evolving. Back then, the best choices available were an analog CCTV camera and a recordable VCR tape. Today, the internet and computer software have given us better security tools. Now we’re in the era of AI security camera software and everything is about to change.
A modern business faces security risks that range from customer or employee theft, vandalism from trespassers… to workplace injury or even just employees slacking off. There are way more risks than a single camera could handle.
Many people think of security cameras as only being useful after work, when nobody’s around to watch the shop. However, there are many invaluable security camera uses for business hours as well.
Installing a commercial video surveillance system can prepare your business for almost anything. It can provide you with eyes and ears on your property even when you’re not there.
Today’s smart cameras use increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in their software that allow the end-user to program automated responses into the tool.
How can businesses make their operations more resilient so they can avoid business disruptions when events beyond their control strike?
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.
Social distancing and mask requirements have created issues with both employees and customers. Security video surveillance can help mitigate these challenges.
The days of simply plugging in a security camera or putting up a fence are long gone. Artificial intelligence opens a whole new world for workplace safety.
As of May 20th, every state has begun easing restrictions on business operations. But reopening won’t be as easy as flipping your “closed” sign to “open”.
