Retail Video Surveillance Gaps: Hidden Loss-Prevention Pain Points You Can’t Ignore
-
POS Fraud Hides Behind the Screen
Ceiling cameras record the countertop, but they never capture the void keys, price overrides or loyalty-card hacks happening on the monitor. Classic retail video surveillance misses the most expensive mistakes. -
Self-Checkout Turns into a Shrinkage Magnet
Fake barcodes, partial scans and “accidental” double-bagging slip past attendants. Without dedicated self-checkout monitoring, losses multiply across every kiosk. -
Organised Retail Crime Exploits Data Gaps
Refund scams and gift-card schemes rely on timing differences between transaction logs and footage. When video and till data aren’t synchronised, investigations stall and evidence is weak. -
Compliance Pressure Keeps Rising
PCI-DSS and GDPR auditors now demand on-screen proof of every card swipe and age check. Standard CCTV can’t deliver the required, time-stamped POS screen recording evidence. -
Legacy VMS Can’t Search By Receipt Data
Security staff scrub through footage manually because traditional systems lack ONVIF POS integration and keyword search on transaction text.
These gaps show why classical CCTV alone is no longer enough to protect profit, prove compliance, or resolve disputes in modern retail. That’s why retailers are adopting DeskCamera — a pure-software retail video surveillance upgrade that turns any POS, self-checkout or back-office PC into an ONVIF camera, adding synced screen and webcam evidence that traditional CCTV can’t capture.
