Pan-Tilt-Zoom Cameras
Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are cameras that allow for flexible monitoring of indoor spaces. They can be controlled remotely to pan across an area, tilt to adjust the angle, and zoom in. Some PTZ cameras allow for rotations on a timer, so your camera can sweep the store without a person’s input.
These models are best used in large warehouses, like backrooms of box stores or retail spaces.
Dome Cameras
Dome cameras are cameras with a cover shaped like a dome. Due to the design of the dome cameras, it can be difficult for those on the floor to ascertain which direction it is facing, so they are unsure if they are being observed.
Most dome cameras do have a fixed but wide viewing angle. These are good cameras to use for monitoring inventory in aisles.
Fisheye Cameras
Fisheye cameras are similarly shaped to dome cameras. These cameras often have a viewing angle larger than 180 degrees. The lines near the edge of the frame distort and create a bubble-like appearance.
Since these cameras capture such wide angles, they are well-placed in open-space retail environments. Using fisheye cameras can also reduce the number of cameras you need overall.
Features to Consider for Your Security Cameras
Security cameras come with various features that can improve the surveillance of your retail business. Some features to consider include:
- Night Vision
- High-Resolution/Definition
- Smartphone Alerts
Some security cameras are equipped to record even in low-light environments. This may be beneficial if you’re interested in running cameras while your store is closed for the night.
High-definition security cameras provide clearer footage. This clear footage may make it easier for managers to review an incident more clearly. High-resolution footage also requires additional storage.
Your security cameras and surveillance system may have smartphone integration options. This allows your team to view footage on their phones or be alerted when suspicious movement/activity occurs. Your team can then respond quickly and appropriately to whatever is going on.
