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.
Return on investment
Retailers today are facing a number of challenges where modern and reliable video surveillance systems can make a difference: armed robbery, break-ins, vandalism, shoplifting, drive-offs, inventory shrinkage, employee theft and insurance frauds.
With a networked video solution, retailers can better manage inventories, loss and fraud. IP video technology integrates easily with many other systems used in retail stores, such as point-of-sale and access control systems. The more uses for the video surveillance system, the higher the return on investment.
The reasons to invest in a modern video surveillance system are many. No matter what retail business you are in - ranging from supermarkets, shopping centers, malls, retail outlets, to 24-hour convenience stores, liquor stores, grocery stores, mini-markets and gas stations - your business can benefit from IP video surveillance.
How can you benefit?
Remote accessibility
Access live video at anytime, from anywhere
Modern video surveillance solutions give shopkeepers, store managers and security experts the opportunity to access real-time video at any time from any computer anywhere.
Network video products provide an easy way to capture and distribute high quality video over any kind of IP network or the Internet. The video can be stored at remote locations for convenience and security, and the information can be transported over the LAN or Internet. Nation-wide retail chains can make effective use of a network video solution for security surveillance and remote monitoring purposes.
Easy, future-proof integration
Put the cameras wherever you want, integrate applications, and leverage your investments
Network video products are not tied to physical inputs or frame grabbers. They can be connected to a LAN, xDSL, modem, wireless adapter or cell phone. Basically wherever you can receive a phone call on your cell phone, you can receive images from a network video solution.
Migrating your analog CCTV system
With a network video solution, you can integrate your existing analog system with products that bring it up to speed with the latest IP technology. Take advantage of functionalities such as remote pan/tilt/zoom, Power over Ethernet, wireless, Megapixel, audio and video motion detection.
Scalability and flexibility
A system that grows with your needs
A network video system can be expanded by adding more network cameras. You can choose exactly what you need today, and scale the system at any time to meet your growing needs.
New technologies, additional cameras, and extra storage capacity are all easily added as required, thanks to strict adherence to industry standards.
Distributed intelligence
Put the system's intelligence wherever you need it
Using network cameras equipped with motion detection, security guards will not have to waste time and effort in responding to false alarms. Cameras can send images of a break-in to your security guard’s phone or PDA enabling him to assess whether or not his presence is required.
More intelligent algorithms such as people counting and face recognition are also being integrated into network video products. You obtain data in more manageable forms and with higher levels of accuracy. Intelligence at the camera level implies a far more effective means of surveillance than is possible with a DVR or other centralized system.
How it works
Network video products run on Ethernet networking. They provide an easy way to capture and distribute high quality video over any kind of IP network or the Internet. The video can be stored at remote locations for convenience and security, and the information can be transported in a secured way over the IP network or Internet. Using standard PC server hardware for video recording and storage rather than proprietary equipment (such as DVRs) radically reduces management and equipment costs, particularly for larger systems where storage and servers are a significant portion of the total solution cost.
Video management software supplies the basis for video monitoring, analysis, and recording. To view several cameras at the same time, dedicated video management software is required.
