It is of course, a well known fact in retail merchandising that if goods are
put on open display for the customer to touch and feel, the sale of these products
will increase dramatically. Unfortunately, this is also an open invite for an
opportunist thief to walk away with the goods.
For
retail outlets of any size weighing up customer comfort and the accessibility
of products against prevention of theft and shoplifting is a difficult balance.
Draconian security will deter the customers you depend upon, but taking no precautions
is to provide an easy opportunity for any shoplifter or thief.
At G4S Security Systems we can offer you a range of solutions that can help you significantly
reduce the "shrinkage" in retail operations whilst maintaining and even
enhancing the enjoyment and satisfaction of your genuine customers.

Monitored Intruder alarms
As part of any security package for retail outlets, G4S Security Systems would
recommend an intruder alarm system to help protect your premises when unoccupied.
An optional part of any such intruder alarm system would be a constant, police
approved, 24 hour remote monitoring
service.
Camera Surveillance
CCTV systems have proved invaluable
for many years now in the prevention and detection of retail crime. A mixture
of discrete cameras for detection and highly visible cameras and monitors working
as deterrents can drastically improve loss prevention for any retail business.
More recent developments in surveillance technology have resulted in greatly improved
picture quality at ever decreasing prices. Digital Recording devices now allow
for far greater volumes of footage to be stored easily, and even more importantly
to be retrieved almost instantly. Pinpointing a specific incident can take a few
clicks of your mouse, rather than several hours rewinding video tapes.
| Beyond Security |
Consumer
Response Tracking
With
the development of camera systems that can be view from a desk top PC and even
over the Internet, the possibilities for making full use of a camera system are
manifold. For example, in a retail environment a marketing department can use
footage from the shop floor to observe customer reaction to new initiatives, paths
taken through a shop and even how often a new product is examined but not purchased.
This can provide an invaluable insight into consumer preferences for both manufacturers
and retailers.
