In the retail sector, fighting losses due to shoplifting is a top priority. Stores are investing more and more in innovative solutions to protect their margins while improving the customer experience. Among the most promising advances: video analysis software capable of detecting suspicious gestures associated with theft in real time .
🎯 A New Approach to Loss Prevention
Traditionally, theft prevention has relied on security guards, passive surveillance cameras, and anti-theft tags. But these measures are no longer enough to combat increasingly sophisticated thieves.
Behavioral detection software analyzes video feeds in real time and identifies gestures associated with shoplifting : hiding an item under clothing, concealing products in a stroller, a backpack, a handbag, or even attempted packaging manipulations, etc.
These systems, based on artificial intelligence , enable security teams or managers to be alerted in about ten seconds, thus reducing reaction time and increasing overall theft prevention efficiency.
⚙️ How Do These Solutions Integrate into Stores?
Suspicious gesture detection solutions like Oxania are designed to easily integrate with your existing video surveillance infrastructure. To ensure optimal efficiency, they are deployed in collaboration with specialized integrators . These experts make sure that cameras are strategically positioned to cover the store’s most sensitive areas and ensure reliable analysis.
Once the cameras are properly installed, the system adds an intelligence layer that analyzes video feeds in real time. It adapts to the specific needs of each store—business type, high-risk areas, busy periods—and sends alerts in about ten seconds through an intuitive interface accessible on phone, tablet, or PC, allowing security teams and managers to react quickly and efficiently .
🚀 Measurable Benefits for Stores
- Significant reduction in theft : a substantial drop observed within the first few months after deploying this system.
- Time savings for security teams thanks to smart, targeted monitoring.
- Improved customer experience : fewer unnecessary interventions, a calmer atmosphere in the store thanks to video evidence.
- Resource optimization : assigning staff to higher value-added tasks.
Thanks to these technologies, security becomes a performance driver —not just a cost center.
