The Unique Needs of Retail

In large department stores or the corner market, all retailers face increasing loss from shoppers and staff alike. Arecont Vision understands the unique needs of this market and provides megapixel technology to specifically meet those needs.

Retail Market Statistics

National Retail Security (for the US market) report – Shrinkage up to 1.51%
$36.3 Billion annual loss to retailers (1.51% x $2.4 Trillion USA)
Video security is considered an effective and affordable solution for large retailers
The 'addressable' shrink is closer to 1.2% (as 20% of total shrink is reported to come from administrative and vendor fraud issues).
Employee theft and shoplifting remain the big two drivers of shrink with 42.7% of shrink coming from employee theft and 35.6% from shoplifting.
Retailers use a wide variety of security systems - video surveillance is the second most commonly used solution next to burglar alarms (with 90.5% using digital video recording and 92.4% reporting the use of burglar alarms).
Retailers are today most interested in video surveillance – remote video surveillance, live CCTV, digital recording and POS/CCTV integration.
LP budgets were only .34% of retailer's annual sales in 2007. Compare this to early in the decade when budgets were over .5% of annual sales. Of that budget, 30% is used for capital equipment such as security systems.
With LP budgets decreasing, retailers are looking for more cost effective solutions (megapixel provides this).
