Had some upgrades made to my virtual guard system. As always with ArcEye, great, fast customer service. The technician who installed the system was friendly but all business - got it done pretty fast, then patiently explained the features and helped me set up the app for remote control of the system. Would highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense to anyone who needs a commercial proactive video monitoring service.

I have relied on ArcEye for my security needs for years now. I have yet to meet an employee who was anything but friendly, respectful and competent. That’s rare these days! I have property security protection, along with cameras now. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Owned an older ArcEye system that needed to be updated and moved to a new location. From the POS to installation everything went VERY well. The technician Austin went over and above to the system was moved to our newly needed location. He was maliciously clean in his work and was very patient with our questions. I highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense.

Tips to Increase Safety in Retail Stores

  • Prevention Plan – Storekeepers and retail owners can be more ready if there was a plan in place for when unexpected robberies take place. It can give essential directions to executing policy-related preventive measures like returns and discounts, bag checking, and employee scheduling. It can likewise form a protocol that laborers can follow while managing episodes of in-store robbery like getting the police involved.
  • Security Cameras – Cameras are a great way to scare off robbers and shoplifters. Try placing cameras in visible spots around the store so people know there is surveillance in the area. This can greatly decrease the chances of theft. According to what you desire, you can choose to stream live footage with proactive video monitoring to record and monitor live-time theft, or you can choose a camera that records and stores the footage, which can then be used as evidence for the police. There are also cameras that do both of these actions if you would like to invest in something like that.
  • Train Workers – Store staff plays a significant part to forestall robbery in retail stores, so it is essential for them to be equipped with the right information in communicating with clients and distinguishing dubious behaviors and shoplifting strategies by being aware of the sales registers and watching out for the dressing rooms. Preparing staff to be well aware of their surroundings, particularly during rush hours, and communication in retail services assists with leverage on customer service. A different type of trained worker is a virtual guard. They connect to the area by using the internet connection and help monitor the area in case workers dealing with other customers don’t notice what’s going on around them. If they notice any suspicious activity, they can quickly report it to the workers and the theft can be stopped.
  • Alert Sensors – If someone is planning on stealing something, they won’t want any attention on themselves. These sensors do the opposite: they let the store staff know when someone is entering and exiting a store. It’s a great way to keep track of everyone that passes by and is likely to decrease the possibility of theft. Robbers are likely to think twice about stealing when they notice that they’ll have eyes on them.
  • Keep the Store Organized – Items are more likely to be lost track of if they’re scattered around recklessly. Having each item set in a certain spot lets the store owner keep track of where everything is and is easier to access for the customer as well. If a thief were to slip an item into their bag inside an unorganized store, they can easily slip out without being noticed. Therefore, having everything in a set place is easier for both the workers and clients.
