In the retail sector, fighting losses related to shoplifting is a priority. Brands are increasingly investing in innovative solutions to protect their margins while improving the customer experience. Among the most promising advancements: video analysis 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 devices are no longer sufficient in the face of thieves' increasing ingenuity.

Behavioral detection software analyzes video streams in real time and identifies gestures associated with shoplifting : concealing an item under clothing, products hidden in a stroller, in a backpack, a handbag, or even attempts to manipulate packaging, etc.

These systems based on artificial intelligence allow security teams or managers to be alerted in about ten seconds, thereby reducing reaction time and increasing the overall effectiveness of theft prevention.


⚙️ 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 video streams in real time. It adapts to the specificities of each point of sale – type of business, risk areas, peak periods – and sends alerts in about ten seconds via an intuitive interface accessible on phone, tablet, or PC, allowing security teams and managers to react quickly and effectively .


🚀 Measurable Benefits for Brands

  • Significant reduction in theft : significant reduction observed in the first 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 serene atmosphere in the store thanks to video evidence.
  • Resource optimization : allocation of teams to higher value-added tasks.

Thanks to these technologies, security becomes a performance lever , and no longer just a cost center.
