What sort of budget are you looking at? 5MP cameras on every aisle would be nice, but probably a little spendy for a thrift store. Budget will definitely play a role.

 

What are the areas of concern? Are you (or the customer) worried about shoplifting in specific areas, shoplifting throughout the store, employee theft, fraud...? Does this store take drop-off donations? If so, you might want to cover the drop-off area in case people are dumping garbage or "unacceptable" items.

 

These are the first two questions I'd ask the customer (probably in reverse order, actually), because these will have the greatest impact on how the store is covered.

Entrance, Cash Registers, Cash Counters, etc priority areas.

Then they need to decide if they will cover every single isle or just cover areas of concern.

Right now its just one big room.

Im not going to lie, I have no idea what a "thrift store" is

Thrift stores are secondhand stores, used clothes, shoes, small appliances, etc.

 

Rory is right, more is lost out the back door (employee theft) than the front, in the stores I've done. Think about it, you lose a few items out the front, you lose a few bucks. With employee theft, you can be losing hundreds or thousands, over time.

 

Start with detail shots on all cash handling areas, use text inserters on the registers, entry shot with deterrent monitor, and then use whatever you have left in your budget on the other areas.

hi. a good MP setup would cover most but its down to budget. you may find going hybrid = both anolog and MP may be the way for you to go.

 

Thrift stores have the same problems as standard stores as in shop lifting but the biggest loss is the drop off points or collection areas.

 

we worked with oxfam stores (same as thrift) for a system just to watch drop off points. this is were the big money goes.

 

people would donate and staff would take there pick before it entered the shop system. say a painting or some type of old antique and take it home and sell on ebay for $$$$ and most of the time these staff think they have done nothing wrong they dont see it as theft from a charity.

 

MP at till areas / drop off point / sorting room and mix of anolog and MP in shop area and anolog at store bin area. you will be surprised how many staff throw things out and come back at 11pm at night
