IP surveillance solutions

Making the difference for retail

In the retail industry, network video systems provide a whole new level of pro-active surveillance and monitoring. Network video technology not only offers superior loss prevention. It can also be used to boost sales, improve staff and customer security, optimize store layouts, boost productivity, count people, monitor flow control, and many more key functions.

So the return on investment is very fast. In other words, whether you run a single shop or a whole chain of malls, network video makes a noticeable improvement in your bottom line. That’s why it belongs in the toolset of any successful retail operation.
 

Protect employees, customers and business

The retail industry faces tough challenges. Theft and inventory shrinkage are obvious causes of lost profit that are traditionally fought with surveillance systems. Retail surveillance using network video solutions offers instant benefits to your business. Not only by helping you win the battle of protecting your business, by preventing crime, but also by making major positive contributions to planning and maximizing your profits in so many other ways.
 

Keep an eye on the daily business

An IP-based video surveillance system provides a way to capture and distribute video over any kind of IP network.

With an Internet connection, shop owners, managers and security experts can comfortably monitor multiple stores from their desk. For convenience and security, recordings should be stored at a remote location.

 

Integration with other systems

Today many different systems are used in most successful retail businesses. IP-Surveillance solutions comply with open industry standards and can easily be integrated into and triggered by other systems. For example, the IP-Surveillance system can be combined with electronic cash registers to ensure that every transaction is monitored. Alarm functionality and customer counting applications are other possible extensions.
 

Prevent insurance fraud

An increasing problem for large retailers is people who fake injuries, for instance by "slipping and falling" in a store, and then sue the owner for compensation. Intelligent video applications can help retailers reject dishonest claims and prove their point with visual evidence. To help the police secure convictions against criminals, the recorded material must have sufficient image quality to allow for number plate and facial recognition.
