Retail has been at the core of our thinking ever since our inception in 1995, and the needs of retailers shape our product development. Our DVRs, software and Multi-Function Detectors were designed to address the specific needs of the retailer.
Our key strengths in retail:
Simple
Retail staff can often be under a lot of pressure, so it is vital that the MFD is easy to use and fast to deploy. A simple four step wizard guides the user through setting up an MFD in less than two minutes, and of course because the units are portable they can be deployed anywhere in store.
The MFD setup wizard is an integral part of our DVR software. Viewing live and recorded camera footage is intuitive, and exporting video to CD for the police has been made as simple as possible. With EPOS integration you can also interrogate checkout cameras for suspicious transactions.
Powerful
Retailers have the least control over their assets once they are out on the shop floor. The only way to prevent the theft of hot products is to lock them away where customers cannot access them. This approach sacrifices sales, so our major client was looking for a way to identify when hot products were picked up.
Working with the client's loss prevention department we developed the Multi-Function Detector (MFD). The MFD clamps discretely underneath a shelf and sends a wireless alert when a product is picked up. This alert can be used to move a CCTV camera or page a security guard on the shop floor so that it can be investigated.
Flexible
Over time it has been possible to develop accessories for the MFD. Using the base unit as a transmitter you can now add wireless panic buttons, motion sensors and door contacts. Completely mobile, MFDs can be deployed anywhere in your store at short notice.
Video analytics for retailers can also be added to DVR software. People counting, motion alarms and more can be added to our customers' systems at any time.
Reliable
Our systems are expected to be in constant operation, and many of the stores we service are open 24 hours a day.
