VGS Unleashes “Scarecrow” – the Solar-Powered Live Camera Surveillance Crime Fighter

admin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:28:39 +0000

In its continuing fight against crime Pro-Vigil’s VGS division unleashed the Scarecrow, a solar-powered live video surveillance unit. The sun powers Scarecrow’s true day/night, low lux cameras and wi-fi video feed so Pro-Vigil’s trained security personnel can monitor property live, without external electricity. When an intruder enters the property the surveillance team hits strobe lights and sirens that run off the would-be criminal.

Watch the Scarecrow Video:

The Scarecrow functions as a stand-alone, self contained video surveillance unit. Its 13′ mast provides the trained surveillance team with high visibility and its small footprint and light weight make it easy to place in elevated positions that criminals don’t suspect. Its onboard strobe lights and sirens make it impossible for intruders to ignore. It requires no outside power for operation, making it an excellent solution for those seeking greener, more mobile options in video surveillance.

“The Scarecrow brings a whole new meaning to mobile video surveillance,” said Jeremy White, CEO of Pro-Vigil. “Its size and weight means we can go high if we have that opportunity on a location, or deep if we need to. Because it’s solar powered we don’t have electricity concerns, and it’s better for the environment. The Scarecrow’s technology along with our trained security team makes for one mean crime fighter.”

“Scarecrow gives my surveillance crew night vision,” said Ben Molloy, Pro-Vigil’s Chief of Security Training, “and it outlines intruder movement in bright green. We can see them and they have no idea we’re watching until we hit them with the strobe lights and siren. You should see their faces when they realize they’re caught. My surveillance crew has a real passion for catching thieves in action and the Scarecrow makes that even easier for them.”

The Scarecrow can stand alone or work in tandem with Pro-Vigil’s other video surveillance crime fighting unit, the Virtual Guard Station. The Scarecrow communicates directly with the larger Virtual Guard Station and extends the surveillance team’s coverage at a reduced cost.
