Retail Marketing Tool
SSMVisions™ systems provides stores with more than just surveillance for security purposes. It can also be used as a marketing tool to assess buying patterns, not only tracking what was bought, but what behaviors are exhibited during the buying process. It can reveal which in-store displays are most popular, how people navigate around the store, and which products are regularly considered but not purchased. It can also identify sources of irritation for customers which prevent purchases, such as identifying long lines, etc.
Quick Resolution of Disputes
With SSMVisions™ systems retail store investigators can determine the sources of product shrinkage or shortages in cash registers by quickly searching through recorded video using receipt text such as “no sale,” “void,” or by product name. Through such searches, they can match video action with the transaction in seconds and determine if a clerk entered the wrong purchase code. SSMVisions™ systems can be used to investigate and quickly resolve any disputes and irregularities.
Secure Storage
For cash register staff who are constantly exposed to the threat of armed robbery, SSMVisions™ systems provide additional security over traditional analog systems. Live video is transmitted over networks and stored on a remote server, rather than on a tape cassette that is reachable by potential criminals. With IP-surveillance, the visual evidence can be stored in a remote and secure place. Cameras can be monitored from remote locations so if an alert is triggered using SSMVisions™ systems object recognition, for example, when it recognizes a weapon, off site security or law enforcement can be alerted and monitoring can continue as they approach the store by use of handheld devices.
A networked SSMVisions™ system can be centrally configured to control any number of cameras across multiple sites, enabling high scalability. Our SSMVisions™ systems are perfect for use within large chains, franchise operations, or any retail business that requires convenient and secure network access to live or recorded surveillance video.
