How To Stop The Shop Lifters
Shoplifting costs the retail industry in Ireland millions of euro every year and affects both small and large businesses. Even if a small percentage is built into the retail price for ‘shrinkage’ this still may not cover the costs of having stock stolen from the shop.
While it is impossible to totally eliminate theft, there are certain things you can implement to reduce it significantly. You can install signs and mirrors and you can educate staff to profile potential thieves but there is no replacement for technology when it comes to security.
CCTV for Retail
It is said that prevention is better than a cure and this is where a robust security solution comes into its own. Having a modern CCTV security system installed is no longer a luxury but is a must have today. The latest security cameras have the ability to observe and record activity with amazing clarity. The would be thief will be aware of the power of megapixel CCTV and this will firstly act as a deterrent. They may move on to an easier target, leaving your stock safely on the shelf. However, if the opportunist decides to take the chance and help themselves to some stock, all will be recorded and ready for viewing by the local Gardaí for prosecution purposes.
Your Shop & Retail
In certain circumstances you may not want all your cameras to be so noticeable. Covert CCTV can play an important part in your protection. Systems can be easily installed and monitored via a smartphone when IP cameras are part of the solution. Footage will also be recorded using HD systems, eliminating useless grainy images forever.
