Vigilant describes itself as 'a leading provider of intelligent IP based digital video/audio solutions for high-end CCTV security and surveillance markets'[1]. The company is incorporated in Israel[2] and was founded in 1999 by Yoram Segir and Adi Pinhas[3].

The vast majority of Vigilants turnover is generated through exports, which includes to the USA, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, South Africa and Argentina[4]. The company reports contracts with airports, banks, casinos, hospitals, prisons, schools and universities, town centres (for example Hackney and Reading) and shopping centres.
