VIP-CCTV
Traditionally CCTV Systems have been the preserve of the security department, with the primary focus being:
- Prevention of loss
- Reduced insurance policies
- Safety of staff in store
- A deterrent to reduce the risk of internal losses.
Camera systems were traditionally hard-installed, with cameras feeding back to local recording systems backed off to local storage and even cassette tapes. The cost of such an in-store installation, hardware and the overhead of maintaining the storage has been high and prohibitive.
Low cost WAN DSL networks have become a basic requirement for most systems in the retail arena. POS and Back Office systems rely on central databases and these, now very stable, WAN networks, have allowed such infrastructure designs to flourish. CCTV has also developed along these lines and locally/centrally recorded IP-based solutions are now widely available.
Comprehensive CCTV solutions
Vodat have been working closely with a number of customers to implement IP CCTV to leverage value out of their existing network infrastructure. From this birds-eye view and from the requirements of our own customers, we have been able to identify a number of uses that will help directly in supporting a business case for an IP CCTV install across the retail base.
These include:
- In-store camera systems - loss, control, security and deterrent
- Footfall counting - record movements in and out of the store
- POS integration - record and watch transactions
- Merchandising - ensure marketing template and design is being followed
- Faulty returns - provide an instant decision
- Training - specific and focussed on individual processes
- PCI compliance systems & building security - record and document access and movements
Our CCTV solutions will help you identify benefits and deliver a rapid return on your investment.
