Internal theft now costs the U. S. retailers $14. 9 billion annually, compared to shoplifting costs of $10 billion. Employee theft and shoplifting combined account for the largest source of property crime committed annually in the United States. The remainders of the annual retail losses are due to paperwork errors at 17. 6 percent and theft by vendors at 5. 8 percent, according to the data obtained by analyzing theft incidents from 116 of the largest U.S.
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.
In the United States alone retail businesses lose billions of dollars. In numerous businesses the majority of these losses are due to employee theft or fraud not theft committed by patrons or customers. An AST retail surveillance system is a must wherever employees handle money and merchandise.
Many retail locations simply lack the skills and resources to manage their existing or planned surveillance systems or analytics to deliver maximum benefit, leading to disappointing results. While providing protection against stock shrinkage and slip-and-falls, plus providing deterrence and addressing newer threats like swarming, the impactof legislation on business practices are also raising their head for retailers, restaurants, and banks. And the obvious concerns of ATM surveillance and protecting against armed robbery never go away. Unfortunately, deploying a viable solution to meet today’s retail surveillance or analytics needs has often been a real challenge. Many restaurants, banks and retail locations lack the skills and resources to manage their existing or planned surveillance systems or analytics to deliver their maximum benefit, leading to disappointing results.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the billion-dollar industry of loss prevention, all built around the many ways that stores lose revenue to theft and the evolving tricks of the trade designed to curtail the crime.
Retailers use video surveillance cameras for a host of reasons why everything from loss prevention to customer safety to liability protection. But with the rise of IP-based video surveillance accompanied by the advent of intelligent retail analytics, video can now be tapped as an amazing source for timely business intelligence. Still, retailers and their integrator partners need to cut through the CSI-type hype and choose reliable analytics that will work for their business.
Retailers also rely on alert employees to assist in store surveillance. Again, the process of being friendly and helpful can deter shoplifters who want to be left alone. Personnel are also trained to watch loitering, bulky clothes, groups and customers who act conspicuously. However, because of the risks of falsely accusing someone of stealing, retailers often leave approach and apprehension to loss-prevention officers or employees trained to combat shoplifting.
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.
The Security Mirror Spy Camera is one of the most unique Retail Surveillance Cameras. Lying discreetly behind this concave security mirror is a professional security camera. The security mirror is a tiny 3.5″ in diameter, but can reflect what is going on in an aisle or a corner of the store and record even more. Perfect for retail surveillance. The security mirror allows your employees to watch over areas of the store particularly vulnerable to shoplifting.
However, if they are busy with a customer, the 1/3″ Sony Camera hidden inside has 420TVL resolution and an 82 degrees viewing field, capable of clearly showing the culprit in the act. Covert. It is difficult to find the camera even when holding the Mirror Spy because the reflective surface. Criminals may know they’re being watched by the employees but they won’t know they’re being filmed. If they take out a visible security camera during a robbery they are unlikely to be concerned with the Mirror Spy.
Power and storage by PC. Units like these that work by connecting to a PC benefit you in several ways. You never have to worry about batteries or limited storage space, since it is powered by the PC and you can easily add memory to your computer. Also, since the data is immediately saved to PC, recovering the files in the case of a technical difficulty is easy.
