CCTV is mostly thought of in terms of security, but what if it could increase your profits as well?

Arguably, it does this already. If it is acting as a deterrent to crime, then it is saving you time and money. But what more can it do?

Resolving errors

If your CCTV system is connected to your Electronic Point of Sale system, you can pinpoint and replay the exact moment any given transaction was made. If customers argue they have been given the wrong change, if staff have made an error, all these issues can be resolved, quickly and easily.

Along with the video replay of the transaction, the details of the order also appear on screen, giving you minute by minute, accurate information. As well as by time, you can also search the digital recording by product, e.g. Latte or Steak.

Reducing crime

This level of detail, coupled with the ease of access, means you can check for staff problems. Have two lattes been ordered and paid for, but three served? If there are too many ‘no sale’ items on the cash registers, these can be checked on video to ensure there was no foul play.

This information can even be accessed remotely, via remote computer or Smart Phone, which means you can react instantly to problems, wherever you are.

Night Vision

The CCTV system offers wide angle dome units with zoom lens and automated night vision – this can activate when the light goes below a certain level.

Similarly, the cameras can be permanently on, or activated by motion sensor, with remote back up and easy download to disk or memory stick

Increase profits

With all this control, reducing errors and crime, you will gain valuable time during your day and make sure the money in the till at the end of each shift is what should be there.

It can also help to train staff and encourage correct behaviour in any that may be tempted to cheat the system. A proper CCTV system could not only pay for itself, but add extra efficiencies to your business to give you an even greater return.

All in all, a great boost to your bottom line and a lot less worry.
