Crime prevention for shops

Small shops and stores are considered attractive and easy targets by the potential criminal. The display areas are exposed to theft of goods either in the form of petty pilfering, pick-pockets or more organised theft.

The Philips observation system not only gives security and peace of mind, but deters the criminal and can also provide recorded pictures of theft or vandalism to be used to aid prosecution.

Benefits:

* Affordable solution: the observation system can be configured with its accessories to one's own specific needs and budget. When comparing the cost of the system against the financial losses through, for example, shoplifting, it is cost-effective with a short payback time.

* Easy-to-use: camera selection, communication and action switching is simple to operate and easily controlled from the main monitor, making it easy for staff to use.

* Flexibility: only the monitor needs mains power input. The camera power, video signal and communication signal are all transmitted via the one cable from the monitor. This allows the observation system to be used in any building or linked group of buildings.
