Detecting and Preventing Shoplifting
When it comes to running a retail business, losses through retail theft can be quite the cost. Per annum, you can find that shrinkage costs your business a significant part of your losses. Therefore, it makes sense that you would focus on loss prevention solutions. Anti-theft security cameras could be the perfect solution.
Today, many retail stores and businesses are using AI camera equipment to help them scan larger areas at once. Our Anti-theft Surveillance Cameras, promise to provide video surveillance across large surfaces. Paired with an intelligent Anti-theft system, we can help you minimize shoplifting more than ever.
What is an Anti-theft Surveillance Camera?
This tool provides you with real-time threat detection through its elite software development. It relies upon the use of AI Deep Learning may can be fitted into any existing surveillance system you already have in place. So, you may not have to change out all of your current cameras since this can operate in-line with the systems you already have in place. For cash-conscious retail firms, that can be a blessing.
The design of the OHT Anti-theft Surveillance Camera means that it focuses on looking for ‘threat gestures’ – common signs that are seen in people who are about to commit theft. This device promises to:
- Provide you with a modern, AI-backed solution to catch criminals in real-time
- Detect theft as it is happening, not after the fact when your goods are already gone
- Reduce the risk of theft in your store as criminals become aware of your surveillance
- Deter your store from becoming a target for thieves, fences, and criminals looking to steal
Given that shrinkage can make up as much of 3% of your stock volume across a year, this AI camera could provide some extensive savings long-term.
Do Anti-theft Surveillance Cameras work?
You might assume that you already have surveillance systems in place and you have some security guards. Yet, figures show that this security team catches roughly one in twenty crimes taking place as they happen. Most of the time you discover the theft after the fact. That does not prevent loss. And while you might still catch the perpetrator your store is unlikely to get back the lost stock.
Security guards have to take breaks, as do the people watching your security cameras. They are human, and humans can easily mistake signs and signals as nothing to worry about. This 24/7 active security system, though, makes no mistakes. By catching gestures across several cameras at once, the Anti-theft Surveillance Cameras protect goods and prevent loss like no one person can.
One bonus of the OHT Anti-theft Surveillance Camera is that it can be useful for catching people who are stealing on a regular basis. Most security staff look out for new faces, yet it can be your regulars who are the culprit. This AI camera finds the faces of those committing crimes, and this can stop not only one-off theft but repeat crimes. Better yet, this retail theft prevention device, being an AI system, has no inherent bias. It focuses on every age group, gender, and race – this further improves your chances of stopping theft at source.
How does the OHT Anti-theft Surveillance Camera work?
This system is installed by investing in a video surveillance server from OHT. The server is connected to the OHT program, and your surveillance cameras are synced up with the OHT software. This can take as little as 30 minutes. Once set up and installed, the Anti-theft Surveillance Camera app will be made available to you. Now, whenever an alert pings, it will be sent to a smartphone/tablet that you always have access to. If you would prefer, alerts can be sent to your Windows PC.
When an alert is put out, your security team are made aware, and they can take quick action. This notification and the supporting video evidence can be used as proof against the perpetrator. Now armed with proof, you can stop criminals in the middle of the act.
