What Is AI Shoplift Detection?
Shoplifting costs South African retailers millions of Rands every year which is why AI shoplifting detection is becoming a key tool in monitoring and keeping businesses secure.
AI shoplift detection is a newly developed software used to detect and reduce shoplifting attempts in stores. The software uses artificial intelligence to detect suspicious gestures and behaviour, reducing shoplifting offences. The intelligent system monitors selected cameras simultaneously and alerts the security team when suspicious body language and behaviour are detected. The primary purpose is to prevent shoplifting by detecting behaviours before the perpetrator is able to commit the crime.
How Does The AI Detection Software Work?
CCTV systems are powerful tools used to detect and prevent theft in stores, however, businesses often don’t have the budget or resources to hire enough security staff to monitor every security camera at all times. The AI software is installed onto existing CCTV cameras and is able to monitor the cameras in the background while the security team is able to continue with other tasks.
The system is developed and trained by showing examples of suspicious gestures and behaviour. This is how the AI is able to detect gestures that may indicate a crime is about to take place. The system alerts the team with real-time footage which the staff are able to analyze to determine if action should be taken. The staff will then log the alert as “theft stopped”, “theft escaped” or “no further action”. The AI is continuously learning which allows the technology to develop for better detection and alerts.
How AI Shoplift Detection Systems Will Benefit Your Business:
As the outcome of the alerts is logged into the AI software, it continues to learn and perfect its detection methods. This means the more it detects, the more accurate the system becomes. In the long run, the AI system will be able to detect with 99% accuracy ensuring shoplifting becomes a thing of the past in your business.
AI shoplift detection is not just an accurate solution to preventing theft but is also an affordable solution to workplace monitoring. The software is much more affordable than hiring enough staff to monitor cameras simultaneously and will help maximize your security budget.
AI shoplift detection is the next step in demolishing crime within the retail market and will always benefit a business. If you would like to find out more information on our AI shoplift detection systems contact us on 086 100 228 or send us an enquiry at cctv@cctvsa.co.za
