In the retail sector, combating losses related to shoplifting is a priority. Retailers are increasingly investing in innovative solutions to protect their margins while enhancing the customer experience. Among the most promising advancements: video analytics software capable of detecting suspicious gestures associated with theft in real-time .
🎯 A New Perspective on Loss Prevention
Traditionally, theft prevention relies on security guards, passive video surveillance cameras, and anti-theft tags. But these measures are no longer sufficient against the growing ingenuity of thieves.
Behavioral detection software analyzes real-time video streams and identifies gestures associated with shoplifting : concealing an item under clothing, products hidden in a stroller, backpack, handbag, or even attempts to manipulate packaging, etc.
These systems based on artificial intelligence allow security teams or managers to be alerted within approximately ten seconds, thereby reducing reaction time and increasing overall effectiveness in the fight against theft.
⚙️ How Do These Software Solutions Integrate into Stores?
Suspicious gesture detection solutions like Oxania are designed to integrate easily with existing video surveillance infrastructure. To ensure optimal effectiveness, they are deployed in collaboration with specialized integrators . These experts ensure that cameras are strategically positioned to cover the most sensitive areas of the store and ensure reliable analysis.
Once the cameras are correctly installed, the system adds a layer of intelligence that analyzes real-time video streams. It adapts to the specifics of each point of sale – type of business, risk areas, peak periods – and sends alerts within approximately ten seconds via an intuitive interface accessible on phone, tablet, or PC, thus enabling security teams and managers to react quickly and efficiently .
🚀 Measurable Benefits for Retailers
- Significant Decrease in Theft : significant reduction observed in the first few months after the implementation of this system.
- Time Savings for security teams, thanks to intelligent and targeted surveillance.
- Improved Customer Experience : fewer unnecessary interventions, a more relaxed atmosphere in-store thanks to video evidence.
- Resource Optimization : assigning teams to higher-value tasks.
Thanks to these technologies, security becomes a lever for performance , and no longer just a cost center.
