OV: RETAIL
Customer safety, loss prevention, merchandising and operational efficiency are effectively supported by ObjectVideo's ability to analyze and report on video-generated data.
ObjectVideo's retail solution identifies events at the cash tills that correlate to loss, track and calculate the effectiveness of merchandising displays, monitor unauthorizeddoor access, detect suspicious people or vehicles loitering and count store traffic and checkout queues in order to optimize staffing.
OV: Retail helps retailers in four key areas:
Loss Prevention
ObjectVideo technology can be used to look for several behaviours indicative of customer or employee theft:
Personal vehicles in loading bays.
Extended loitering within store.
Stopped/loitering vehicles.
Entry to a returns line from within the store.
Person running out of store.
Stockroom inventory monitoring.
High theft item monitoring.
Objects removed from Goods in/out areas.
Unauthorized access to counter/display areas.
Public Safety and Liability
Public safety is a non-theft issue that is top of mind for retailers,examples include dark parking areas, or customers slipping and falling in store aisles:
Vehicles speeding.
Stopped vehicles in fire routes.
Gangs or groups loitering.
Spills/items left behind in aisles.
Objects blocking fire exits.
Physical Security
A retail operation may include a store and warehouse, which requires constant security surveillance to protect inventory and other assets against loss:
General perimeter protection.
Loitering anywhere.
Unauthorized entrance through fire doors.
Loading dock security.
Vandalism.
Vault access.
Camera tampering.
After hours people detection.
Business Intelligence
ObjectVideo intelligence can generate business data about each object that moves through a store which can be used for merchandising or real-time event counting:
High value or promotional item monitoring.
Display/shelf space effectiveness.
People counting.
Vehicle counting.
Forensics analysis of data to determine trends and patterns of behaviour.
