How To Tackle Retail Theft
LotGuard's surveillance technology helps retailers tackle high-level inventory theft throughout the US.
Retailers across the US are currently experiencing high-level inventory theft, leading to increased demand for electronic security systems.
How big of a problem is retail theft?
Shockingly, statistics show that 1 in 11 people in the US is a shoplifter, and more than 10 million people have been arrested for this offense over the past five years, according to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention.
Yet, actions against shoplifters and dishonest employees have decreased significantly.
Retailers need to stem the flow of losses to theft; this is where LotGuard’s surveillance technology helps retailers take control of the situation.
Remote Monitoring
Video surveillance is one of the most powerful security tools for retailers.
When paired with remote monitoring they are a 24/7 virtual security guard.
This type of video surveillance can do the job faster, cheaper, and more efficiently than traditional security plans that rely solely on guards.
Our LotGuard Mobile Surveillance Units deliver live and recorded video via 4G LTE. The video can be accessed anytime, anywhere, with any connected device.
When a camera is being 'remotely monitored,’ the video stream from the unit is transmitted directly to our Interactive Surveillance Operations Center (ISOC), where a team of security professionals will receive an alarm or alert from your site, immediately review the footage to verify the alarm and then take appropriate action.
This action will include capturing as much video evidence of the activity occurring and challenging any criminal activity through audio alerts, live voice down functionality, and even the dispatching of guards or local law enforcement.
Typically, these alarms are generated via Video Analytics - intelligent rule-based surveillance algorithms built into LotGaurd cameras that detect movement at your properties.
Visual Deterrent Mobile Surveillance Units
Don’t hide your surveillance cameras; make sure they are visible when you deploy them. This is undoubtedly the most effective way of deterring and reducing retail theft.
Improving the security of retail parking lots plays a vital role in boosting the overall safety of the premises and is the first line of defense for your business.
Many retail centers use mobile surveillance units to monitor parking lots and common areas to manage theft, trespassing, and liability concerns around vehicular incidents.
Choosing the best camera for the job is essential to an effective security plan, detecting and preventing theft, and providing verification measures to reduce operational errors.
LotGuard PRO is a fully autonomous Mobile Surveillance Trailer that provides 24/7 security to your parking lots and properties without needing mounting poles, onsite power, or an internet connection.
These cameras deliver live and recorded video through our 4G LTE transmission technology, allowing for remote viewing of live and archived video at any time, regardless of location.
