TEB: how to both reduce losses and to improve operational efficiency?

TEB: how to both reduce losses and to improve operational efficiency? In the retail sector, CCTV systems are designed and implemented for many applications. Retailers introduce CCTV to detect and deter internal and external thieves, and also to monitor store compliance and reduce process failures. In this secured environment, customers and staff feel safer and it can increase traffic in the point of sale. Moreover, CCTV systems can be valuable management information for staff and crowd control. But to offer the most adapted answer to retailer needs, TEB is looking for ways to both reduce their losses and to improve their operational efficiency.

TEB has developed innovative video security solutions for the past 30 years. They provided added-value benefits with a proven impact on retailer’s profitability. The concept combines advanced technology providing user-friendly solutions with ease-of-use, remote accessibility and integration with other retail system (POS) and security systems (Access Control, Alarm…) for a faster and better Return on Investment. The company has achieved this goal through a close working relationship with their customers.

To See Everywhere without Blind Spots

In retail environment, cameras should be able to see everywhere, without any blind spots, to detect and deter thieves everywhere in the store. Otherwise, thieves will know where to steal. That’s why in large areas, the supplier offers a unique and simple solution with the TUB camera. The TUB camera is a high quality concept that offers a coverage you would expect from a high performance video surveillance camera.

The shuttle camera moves with speed and precision within a discreet tube type structure with fully functioning pan, tilt, and zoom functions. The camera shows advantages compared to the traditional solutions in the CCTV market such as domes or fixed cameras, thanks to its ability to cover 100 % of the area to be monitored. Its dynamic monitoring principle makes it possible to anticipate the events and gives the user continuity of evidence without any information loss.

The TUB camera combines a very efficient high surveillance product that can reduce shrinkage with a faster and better ROI, than traditional concepts. Completed with high-speed domes and statics, this solution is suitable for retailers who want to achieve 100 % coverage without installing a lot of cameras, with live monitoring surveillance to catch thieves in live.

Managing and Recording the Video

To build a complete solution, the company offers a recording and management solution “all-in-one” to suit the requirements of today’s retailers. Digipryn, the hybrid digital video recorder and management system, is able to support digital IP cameras including encoders and mega pixel cameras. Having a very easy-to-operate user interface, Digipryn improves the efficiency of the real-time surveillance which is very important for operators who need to get a very simple and efficient tool to react fast. The system stores all the video but also includes enhancements with fully integrated video analysis such as: automatic tracking, lost object detection, camera sabotage recognition, automatic number plate recognition.

Nowadays, CCTV systems have to bring more and more automatic information to improve the efficiency of the retail security managers.

System Integration

Also, a modern CCTV system should not be working independently since it can be linked to other existing retail and security systems for a global interaction solution. The retail systems integration such as POS can store all cash register actions and information, synchronised with the video recording. This allows for quick and easy reviewing of any event that may be linked to the behaviour of the cashier.

Retailers also need to work with a full integrated security system including access control, fire detection and intruder alarms. If these elements are linked to the CCTV system, such a solution provides a real added-value on the day-to-day management of the retail security.

Remote Access, Configuration and Maintenance

The TEB solution is a dedicated tool for remote site management, saving time and resources by centralising video surveillance from one server. With the PrynVision software, the customer can monitor his entire CCTV system that will enable him to have access to high quality live or recorded images, PTZ control, remote configuration and maintenance of the system. With many sites to manage, retailers need centralised system that provides the right information at the right time, with up-to date system through remote updating function, and the status of each site in live.

Integration of the Video to the Alarm Monitoring

More and more retailers working with alarm monitoring systems need to link their video system to the alarm receiving centre. This integration improves the efficiency of the intruder alarm system by providing automatically the right video information at the same time with the alarm signal to deter the right or false alarm. This needs to link the both systems with intelligence, to make CCTV system react perfectly to the intruder alarm system.

Taken together, CCTV offers a very broad range of potential benefits to the retail organisation and recent developments in the use of digital systems linked with more sophisticated software and other security systems are likely to yield even further benefits.

CCTV is the most adapted tool to manage the shrinkage issue, but CCTV can also add ‘value’ to the business through operational efficiency.
