Discover how professional surveillance systems reduce theft, support compliance, and protect your retail business.
CCTV surveillance dramatically reduces theft from both external shoplifters and internal staff with visible deterrent effect and evidential recording. Retailers typically see 30-50% reduction in stock loss after installing professional surveillance systems protecting profitability and inventory accuracy.
Video surveillance helps retailers meet PCI DSS requirements for protecting card payment environments, monitoring access to payment terminals, maintaining audit trails for compliance assessments, and demonstrating security controls to payment processors reducing risk of costly compliance failures.
Retail managers and area managers can monitor multiple stores, warehouses, and distribution centres from centralised control rooms or remotely via mobile devices, enabling efficient oversight, rapid incident response, and effective management of geographically distributed retail operations.
High-quality video recordings provide clear evidence for investigating theft, fraud, customer disputes, false claims, and staff misconduct. CCTV footage supports police investigations, insurance claims, and internal disciplinary procedures protecting retailers from losses and false accusations.
Surveillance footage helps retailers review customer service interactions, monitor queue management, assess staff performance, and identify training needs. Video evidence supports excellence programmes and helps retailers maintain high service standards across all locations.
Modern IP camera systems leverage existing network infrastructure reducing installation costs. Solutions like UniFi Protect eliminate monthly licence fees whilst cloud-based options remove the need for expensive on-premise recording servers making enterprise security affordable for retailers of all sizes.

Common questions about retail CCTV systems and surveillance camera installations.
Our retail CCTV installations support PCI DSS compliance by monitoring card payment areas, recording access to payment terminals, maintaining audit trails for compliance assessments, implementing secure storage with encrypted recording, establishing access controls limiting who can view payment area footage, and providing documentation for PCI DSS assessors. Cameras are strategically positioned to monitor security without recording cardholder data (such as PIN entry) balancing compliance requirements with payment security.
UniFi Protect offers excellent value with no ongoing licence fees, seamless integration with UniFi network infrastructure, intuitive management interfaces, and robust local recording. It's ideal for smaller retailers or those wanting enterprise features without ongoing costs. Hikvision provides advanced AI analytics including people counting and heat mapping, wider camera selection covering specialist retail scenarios, proven reliability for demanding applications, and more extensive video management features. It's often chosen for larger retailers requiring advanced analytics. Both platforms deliver exceptional security; we recommend based on your specific requirements, budget, and existing infrastructure.
Absolutely. Visible CCTV cameras act as a powerful deterrent to shoplifters and opportunist thieves whilst discreet cameras catch determined offenders. Strategic camera placement covering high-value stock, blind spots, and entry/exit points maximises theft prevention. High-resolution recording provides clear evidence for police investigations and prosecutions. Retailers typically see 30-50% reduction in stock loss after installing professional surveillance systems making CCTV one of the most cost-effective security investments.
Storage duration depends on your organisation's data retention policy and legal requirements, typically 30-90 days for general surveillance with longer retention for specific incidents under investigation. We configure automatic deletion ensuring compliance with GDPR retention policies. Access to CCTV footage is strictly controlled with user authentication, role-based permissions, audit logging of all footage viewing, and procedures for police disclosure requests. Only authorised staff such as security personnel, store managers, and designated loss prevention teams can access footage.
Yes. Both UniFi Protect and Hikvision offer centralised management enabling area managers and head office security teams to monitor multiple retail locations from one central control room or remotely via web browsers and mobile apps. This enables efficient oversight of distributed retail operations, rapid incident response across all locations, and effective security management without physically visiting each store daily.
Camera requirements depend on your facility size, layout, stock value, and security concerns. Small shops might need 4-8 cameras covering entrances, tills, shop floor, and stock areas. Larger stores may require 15-30 cameras with comprehensive coverage. Warehouses need cameras covering loading bays, racking areas, and high-value stock. We conduct comprehensive site surveys assessing your facility, identifying security priorities, recommending appropriate camera placement, and providing detailed proposals ensuring effective security coverage without excessive cameras.
Our CCTV systems are designed with reliability in mind. UniFi Protect and Hikvision recording devices have redundant storage with RAID configurations protecting against drive failures. Battery backup units keep cameras and recorders running during brief power outages. Cloud backup options provide off-site recording ensuring footage remains accessible even if local equipment fails. We include 24/7 monitoring detecting system faults immediately with rapid response ensuring maximum uptime for your retail surveillance.
Installation timelines depend on facility size and complexity. Small shops with 4-10 cameras can typically be completed within 1-2 weeks including site survey, system design, and installation often completed overnight or during closed periods. Larger retail facilities or warehouses may require 2-4 weeks for comprehensive deployment. We provide detailed project timelines with realistic schedules, work flexibly around trading hours, and coordinate installations to minimise disruption to business operations ensuring smooth deployment without impacting sales.
