Your licence sets the retention window. Vigil enforces it, per store.
Ontario liquor sales licences carry surveillance and recording-retention conditions under AGCO’s risk-based licensing framework — set per licence, not a single fixed number. Across a multi-store network, that means every location can be running a different clock. Vigil tracks each one and turns the same footage into a loss-prevention asset.
[ Why now ]
Regional operators absorb the cost national chains don’t.
[ Compliance ]
One retention clock per store, tracked for you.
AGCO’s risk-based licensing sets surveillance and recording-retention conditions per licence, which means a multi-location liquor retailer can be holding several different retention windows at once. Vigil enforces each site’s actual licence condition automatically, instead of your team tracking it store by store in a spreadsheet.

Same crew, different storefront, same case.
High-value liquor inventory draws the same organized, multi-location theft crews hitting cannabis and pharmacy retail. Vigil re-identifies the same individual across visits and locations, linking otherwise-isolated incident reports into one exportable case for your loss-prevention team or police.
