Latin America. For today's businesses, video surveillance is undoubtedly a necessity. This is why cutting-edge technology is being applied by large chains to increase their yields in such a competitive industry.
Currently most businesses have analog video surveillance systems, however the interest in IP video is increasing to the extent that it brings greater benefits to owners.
The transition from analog to digital video contributes greatly to the increase in profits as well as being a simple procedure capable of adapting to the needs and budgets of the client.
Video encoders allow you to connect existing cameras with those of an IP network and thus take advantage of the investment made and enjoy the multiple advantages offered by network video surveillance systems such as:
Inventory losses are an expensive problem, IP video surveillance systems have the ability to detect inappropriate behavior and issue alarms that prevent the staff of the establishment, this is not possible with analog systems. These require surveillance personnel to monitor the system 24 hours a day.
Analog images are low resolution and blurry, and do not provide conclusive details in any particular situation. IP network video provides crisp, high-quality images as the cameras have the ability to zoom in and track as well as increased coverage.
Speaking of IP technology this can be configured for the following:
You have the ability to obtain information on the behavior of customers since you can record and evaluate their activity in the establishment. This is very useful in the case of marketing campaigns and gives the possibility to react immediately to obtain the desired results.
The cameras help identify empty shelves for replenishment, thus improving merchandise presentation, inventories, and sales. They also indicate when the line is too long, this allows to open more collection boxes to avoid the inconvenience of customers when they are making large lines before being served.
With IP video surveillance you have the ability to compile statistics that facilitate the detection of suspicious patterns and behavior, such as unauthorized discounts, manually entered values, incorrect returns and cash errors.
The data is available through the network and can be consulted and analyzed at the time it is required. All this can be done in real time and remotely for either one or several stores.
