Retailers can effectively add another layer of deterrence to their existing surveillance systems with active shooter detection, boosting workplace safety and adding early warning data for comprehensive situational awareness.
We know the value video surveillance brings as a superior enabling technology, transcending security and adding business intelligence and accountability to retail locations. But Organized Retail Crime (ORC), shrinkage and employee theft aren’t the only challenges that need to be addressed. With an increasingly agitated public and rise in random and directed shooting incidents, retailers and shop owners need to do more to protect their businesses, employees and consumers.
