SECURITY
The need
There are major losses for many retailers (up to 6% of turnover per year) due to LOST GOODS.
-
Emergency exits can be used to carry out stolen merchandise
-
Response to alarms from goods protection antennas at the cash registers is slow
-
The cashier can pass the goods without scanning them
Solution
Using existing video surveillance cameras, a layer of security improvements is added with following functionality:
-
Monitoring of restricted areas (emergency exits are often used by thieves, blocking of these exits is prohibited by safety regulations)
-
Alert based PTZ control (guards attention is immediately directed towards alert together with camera refocus)
-
Loss protection by integrating video and POS goods feed (identification of suspicious actions and tracking)
-
Loss protection by automated identification of potential theft (in progress)
-
Item recognition and mapping at checkout (in progress)
Results
Reduction in lost goods by up to 3% - immediate effect.
-
Faster response to theft attempts
-
Less options to exit the store for thieves
-
Lowered rate of cashier fraud
