Milestone IP Video Surveillance
IP video surveillance from Milestone gives retailers new tools and capabilities for improving loss prevention and store performance. By enabling video to be captured as digital information and accessed anywhere on a network, IP video surveillance allows loss prevention staff and other departments to view, analyze and manage video. Intelligence opens the door to new in-store methods for determining effectiveness of store layout, display design, and employee behavior. Through advantages in using common networking and digital camera technology, stores can achieve everything from lower TCO to higher resolution imagery that improves forensic evidence and reprodusing for training and other uses.
Milestone Systems provides effective loss prevention in retail. Retail businesses face massive problems with shrinkage, chiseling away an average 1.6% of turnover.
The loss stems from internal fraud (up to 80% of total shrinkage), vendor related shrinkage, and shoplifting.
In a highly competitive industry, the pressure is on to bring down costs and to optimize store performance in every way.
Milestone IP video solutions help you manage shrinkage and save money on the bottom line.
The main reasons why to choose IP video surveillance from Milestone:
- Improve loss and fraud prevention
The combination of video with transaction data directly from the point-of-sale (POS) provides a strong tool for analyzing and catching fraud.
With Milestone IP video you can search and find any transaction to instantly see the video with it. Milestone IP video helps you reduce fraud and gives you the tools to quickly and accurately solve incidents:
- Object removal
- Return fraud detection
- Employee ‘sweet-hearting’ (unauthorized discounts to friends)
- Age-restricted sales or refunds
- Cost-effectiveness
Being able to use existing analog equipment with new digital equipment makes Milestone IP video very cost effective. It allows you to migrate to fully digitalized solutions at your own pace.
Moving existing equipment to new locations, adding more cameras or changing existing equipment is seamless and easy.
