Retailers can now monitor all till activity without leaving their desks – and keep losses to a minimum – thanks to a “groundbreaking” EPoS system designed by leading recognition technology specialist Neurodynamics in partnership with retail monitoring firm SIDG.

The system combines Neurodynamics’ Witness DVR with a Point of Sale set-up to provide video recording of images from a specified till which is then superimposed with the relevant transaction data. Live or recorded images may be retrieved quickly from a remote site such as a central office. Specially-designed, event-driven recording techniques also help to increase the efficiency of subsequent searches and retrieval.

Given the latest figures on staff theft unveiled this month by the BRC this development is a welcome addition for loss prevention specialists.
