Prevention is better than the cure as they say.

Retail & Shop Access Control Systems

There are a variety of reasons to invest in an access control system for a shop or retail store. This can range from providing secure access to staff and visitors through a secure door entry system through to, monitoring staff for time, attendance and productivity.

A keyless door entry system will help in managing secure access to your store for staff and visitors such as reps and those making deliveries.

For stores that have a high level of visitors and deliveries a robust audio or video intercom system is an efficient tool in managing access to your premises. A Video Intercom system for your store helps you to see who’s at the door before letting them in.

Audio intercom works in the same way as video without the ability to see who’s there.

It’s an unfortunate fact shops and retail stores are all too often targeted by thieves and criminals. Shops are often targeted as they hold a large amount of stock including clothing, jewellery, electrical equipment and cash in 3rd party ATMs.

Depending on your budget and objectives in mind there are various types of security alarm for a shops we can install. We can provide a wired or wireless alarm system which can be connected to your current network and once triggered will notify you via a smart device. Additionally, for larger retail stores and outlets we recommend considering remote alarm monitoring with Police response.

All of these alarm systems can be linked and integrated with your security cameras. When the alarm is triggered your cameras will tilt and zoom in on your access points, helping to capture crystal clear images of the perpetrator..

Frequently asked questions

What is the importance of security systems for retail stores, shops and outlets?

The importance of having security systems installed at shops and retail businesses covers many factors. This includes detecting and deterring shoplifting, anti-social behaviour and other general offences.

Shops are often targeted by shoplifters, therefore, facial recognition and general surveillance cameras can help detect and deter thieves. Staff need to be protected too, along with shoppers and members of the general public from a range of threats.

Securing a retail store/shop involves implementing various security measures such as CCTV cameras, facial recognition devices, and access control systems.

Well-placed surveillance cameras can help deter and detect theft, whilst access control systems can help manage attendance and prevent unauthorised access to certain areas.

Security risks in retail and shops include theft of physical assets, employee theft, fraud, and shoplifting. Retail businesses can minimise most of these risks by implementing security measures such as CCTV, access control systems, employee training, and loss prevention strategies.

Where there are issues of employee theft, covert CCTV cameras can be deployed to catch them in the act. 

One of the latest technological advancements in this industry is the use of facial recognition cameras to detect known shoplifters.

The cost of a retail security system varies depending on the size of the store and the level of security required. A basic security system will cost less than a comprehensive, integrated system.

It is always best to consult a security expert for a personalised estimate.

 

To deal with the threat of shoplifting at your shop, consider installing CCTV cameras and facial recognition cameras, and hiring security guards. These measures can deter potential shoplifters, identify known offenders, and provide an additional layer of security.

Quality CCTV signage may deter petty thieves. However, more sophisticated shoplifters won’t see that as a deterrent. Therefore and investment in CCTV and other surveillance systems will pay dividends.
