KEY FEATURES

Everything You Need for a Smarter, Safer Store

Select the analytics that answer your operational questions. Data quality and available integrations are assessed during scoping.

People Counting

Track foot traffic and peak activity by entrance, area or time period. Use the information to support staffing and operational planning.

Heat Mapping

Understand where people move and spend time. Review high-traffic and overlooked areas when considering layouts or service coverage.

Staff & Service Visibility

Review presence, unattended areas and response activity. Give managers useful context for service availability and operational consistency.

Suspicious Behaviour Review

Flag unusual patterns and high-risk activity for assessment. Use event context and available footage to support loss-prevention workflows.

Stock & Inventory Insight

Where camera views and workflows are suitable, discuss stock counting, movement visibility and exception reporting alongside your inventory processes.

Incident Mapping

Organise incidents by location, time and category. Examine recurring hotspots and recorded loss information to prioritise corrective action.

Video-Backed Auditing

Review exceptions and operational activity using time-stamped records and linked footage where configured. Support investigations with context.

Multi-Site Reporting

Bring relevant information from multiple locations into a management view. Compare patterns using consistent reporting definitions.

Integration & ROI

Where sales or operational data can be integrated, compare activity with business outcomes. Agree measurable reporting goals before implementation.

Queue and dwell analysis

Observe a defined waiting or browsing area to examine activity over time. Agree what starts and ends a dwell event, then consider promotions, trading conditions and service arrangements when interpreting it.

CCTV search for store reviews

Use available event references to find the footage relevant to a store question. A search result supports investigation; it does not establish why someone acted or prove a financial loss.

Retail reporting that can be checked

Compare footfall and activity with authorised trading records where suitable integration is available. Keep entry counts, unique visitors, transactions and verified losses as distinct measures.

Your questions, answered.

Do we need to replace our entire CCTV system?

Not necessarily. We first assess whether the existing camera views, hardware and network are suitable for the requested analytics.

Can camera data be compared with sales information?

Where a suitable integration is available, activity and footfall can be compared with sales or other operational data. Availability is confirmed during scoping.

Can CCTV count or reconcile stock?

Selected counting and stock-movement applications need suitable views and supported technology. General CCTV should not be assumed to identify every item or replace inventory records. Scope and validate the requirement first.
