Retailers use ObjectVideo to detect events for security, people counting, left or stolen objects, and more.  Intelligent video analytics, however, is just one layer within an overall retail video surveillance system.  But integrate that video analytic output with in-store systems and data streams and you create the next generation of intelligent enterprise solutions for loss prevention and operational business efficiency.

Some solutions for Retail that can leverage analytic integration for maximum value include:

• Retail point-of-sale applications to identify employee shrinkage by visually verifying customer presence during refunds, or verifying manager presence during certain transactions that require manager override
• Product sales data to compare to human traffic patterns and calculate product conversion rates
• Access control systems to detect “tailgating” or other unauthorized entry into secure areas within a store, warehouse, office/vault room, etc.
• Video management and storage systems to enable alert-driven video delivery, storage and central monitoring
