Video Surveillance: Tips for Convenience Stores

altColombia. The increase in sales triggers a large escalation in losses, as well as situations of insecurity. Therefore, it is clear that self-service stores, warehouses and convenience stores are an important niche for the development of the video surveillance segment.


Connectivity Center Colombia, wholesaler specialized in the distribution of products, structured cabling systems, telephony, security, tools, measuring equipment, active equipment and wiring management; shares with us information about the measures they must take, while the time of good sales increases; as well as the benefits you can obtain with the implementation of technological solutions such as CCTV or what is commonly known as video surveillance cameras.

Today almost all stores and businesses have closed circuit surveillance cameras (CCTV). These systems reinforce loss prevention efforts and control other important aspects – such as trust in employees, for example.

The technological advancement in these devices has grown at great speed and until recently there were only analog range facilities; but the arrival of digital video, mounted on IP networks, has brought a range of possibilities that go beyond fighting crime, because with state-of-the-art applications, which have become a true ally in improving sales and even in perfecting the flow of operations.

The team
You can never have a true video surveillance system if you do not have the right equipment. The general idea is that to change it, extravagant investments are required; however, that is not necessarily real. Connectivity Center has a wide and accessible portfolio of solutions and products that allow to install with a fair investment, a closed circuit television with IP scopes, which help optimize the Loss Prevention Program.

Installation
Digital technology offers superior benefits; installing an IP-based video system is not only allowed to have video surveillance; but it also allows you to add access control systems, emergency alarm systems, point of sale control, among others. In this way, the administrator can ensure that they do not make unauthorized discounts or gifts at the checkout, trigger alerts at the right time and ensure the safety of customers and staff.

Advantages
IP-based surveillance systems can also be offered as a plus to attract partners and suppliers. With the use of a password, they can register to check on their screens the delivery of their products or provision of services.

Savings in Internal Audit
The regional in-store security auditor must review large amounts of video. Having an IP video system makes it considerably easier to search, mark and locate "dubious" circumstances. In addition, it has remote viewing capabilities, so that the researcher can watch the video from anywhere in the country from the comfort of their home or office, saving time, money and travel.

"Robbery in ball"
This form of heisting has become a scary trend. With a CCTV system, large formations of people – also known as a blob – can be detected, so the store management learns of a large crowd that gathers in or around the particular store, shelf or box and takes the necessary measures.

Proceeds
The integration of the systems is a good way to fully exploit your video surveillance system, but taking every last drop out of the investment goes further, and only requires a little creativity; since through it, you can save hours on trips, thanks to real-time monitoring, which allows you to replace products on the shelves and shelves; maintain the cleanliness and order of the warehouses, have good customer service and closely observe the suspicious behaviors of a worker.

Suspicious customers?
An analytical video system can be very efficient in counting and detecting how many customers enter the establishments; the manager can react in advance to open an additional box. You can also closely follow the activity of "anxious customers", and the time to make "fraudulent returns".
