How Retailers Can Achieve Better Security and Cost Savings with CCTV Surveillance
Shop theft offences in the UK saw a year-on-year increase of 20% for the year ending December 2024, so it’s no surprise that retailers are looking for ways to enhance staff safety, reduce loss and improve overall security in their stores.
Could better surveillance be the answer?
CCTV has evolved exponentially in recent years, and thanks to the capabilities of AI and modern technology, shop owners can now gather more data than ever about their security vulnerabilities.
With specialist features including traffic flow monitoring, access detection, people counting and loitering detection, CCTV can now provide actionable business insights to help improve customer experience and prevent theft.
