Retail Surveillance
A surveillance camera system can benefit your retail store in many ways.
- Lower insurance premium: Contact your insurance provider for percentage discounts.
- Vandalism, theft and break-in Prevention: A visible security camera network can help reduce vandalism and theft, whether it is from thieves or employees. IP security cameras provide high-resolution footage that makes it easy to distinguish features of thieves and vandals and will also assist loss prevention.
- Intelligent functionality: Intelligent IP cameras with video analytics such as motion sensing, facial recognition, and behavioral recognition can be used effectively to identify suspicious or abnormal activity.
- Flexibility: IP cameras can be re-arranged at any time should your security needs change.
- Increased customer and employee safety: The presence of surveillance cameras raises a retail store’s overall level of security and gives customers the confidence that unwelcome behavior won’t be tolerated.
- Coordinate Security Personnel: Operators viewing surveillance footage can direct security staffers to specific areas of the store when suspicious activity is spotted.
- Alerts: IP cameras can send e-mail or phone alerts when motion detectors are tripped or an alarm sounds. This interactive form of security makes it easier to properly respond to security concerns.
- Monitor multiple stores at once: If you own a chain of stores, a surveillance system routed through an NVR (network video recorder) is a great option for managing security. NVRs are able to store camera footage on a hard drive and broadcast it over the internet, so you can check up on your stores at any time.
- Remote monitoring: Using an IP surveillance system, cameras operate on a network and stream footage that can be viewed remotely from any PC with an internet connection and authorized network access. Some cameras, for instance IP domes, even have remote-controlled pan, title, and zoom functions.
- Crime investigation: Recorded footage provided by surveillance cameras can prove extremely useful for investigations of crimes and for suspect identification.
- Monitor customer activity: In addition to monitoring for suspicious activity, surveillance cameras can also track the number of shoppers who enter the store throughout the day to help dictate employee schedules.
- Digital storage: Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and Network Video Recorders (NVRs) allow surveillance footage to be stored digitally, providing larger storage capacity and enhanced searching capabilities.
