Retail Security Solutions
Enabling the retail industry to focus on customer service with security & control solutions that inspire confidence in staff and customers.
Within the retail sector there is a requirement for security solutions to be flexible and offer an efficient way of managing building access control as well as ensuring stock, equipment and people are appropriately protected. Business assets can be protected using sophisticated solutions with features such as automatic door locking at times when shops are closed, as well as offering restricted access in public areas for staff and management. CCTV systems can be augmented with sophisticated artificial intelligence software that provides heat mapping technology that records visitor movement around the premises and allows businesses to enhance their store layouts to maximise profitability.
We design, install, service, maintain and repair retail and shop security solutions including CCTV, access control and door entry systems.

Retail access control solutions are increasingly sophisticated and with the ability to help improve operational efficiency and customer experience alongside the more traditional security role of CCTV and access control systems.
Apart from the obvious security benefits that CCTV provides for the retail environment, some of the other main advantages are the use of analytics. Analytics are evolving at a fast pace in the security industry, and the available data can help businesses in a host of other areas beyond the traditional security environment, especially in the retail sector.
Benefits can be gained in areas such as improved product placement, with heat mapping to indicate where the hotspots in the store are. This is especially useful for marketing particular products displays and to assist in shop floor display management. Another benefit is the ability to identify people using facial recognition to alert management if known individuals are on site, allowing staff to monitor specific people to prevent potential theft.
The implementation of these solutions for businesses help to improve both efficiency and profitability. And with the ability to link multiple sites and centralise security operations, improved efficiency for larger retail chains can bring significant benefits.
Don’t think about your retail security system as simply a mechanism to prevent stock loss. Think of it as a way to improve operational efficiency and profit in your business, using connected solutions from automation security solutions such as CCTV and facial recognition.
Talk to us about the ways a security system could help your retail business become more profitable and offer an improved customer experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are CCTV cameras static or can they be moved to view things?
Are CCTV cameras static or can they be moved to view things?
There are generally two types of CCTV camera – static and ‘pan, tilt & zoom’ (PTZ). A static CCTV camera gives you a fixed view of an area you wish to monitor or protect; however a PTZ camera can be controlled by a either an operator using a joystick, artificial intelligence software, or linked to detectors or motion sensors to control the movement of the camera. The advantage of a PTZ camera is that you can change the view to cover a larger area where required.

We have an audio door entry system but want to be able to see who is at the entrance, how easy would it be to upgrade?
Usually we can upgrade an existing door entry system from audio to video using the existing cable infrastructure in place. Wherever possible, we look to use as many parts of your existing system. This speeds up the installation and reduces the cost to you. Please talk to us about your requirements and let us know which equipment you currently have installed, if you know. We may also be able to identify it from photographs.

- How long will recorded images be stored on my CCTV system?
How long will recorded images be stored on my CCTV system?
This can depend on several factors – number of CCTV cameras; size of the hard drive in the NVR (Network Video Recorder) or DVR (Digital Video Recorder); record resolution settings; and activity on site. However we would consider all those factors when recommending a system and the aim would be to retain images for 20-28 days. We can also help you address any data protection considerations.
