Video Surveillance Planning For Gas Stations With Convenience Stores

Drive-offs, shoplifting, loitering and employee theft are just some of the challenges that convenience store operators face every day.  Video surveillance provides an efficient tool for the shop owner to keep track of inventory and protect the assets of the business.  Many shop owners need help deciding what to watch and how.  That's when the services of an experienced surveillance system company can make the difference. 

Many shop owners want to place their security focus on the pumps to prevent driveoffs beliving that this will be enough.  Others are interested in just watching the beer and the cigarettes to prevent losses from shoplifting.  Often, when receipts seem unexpectedly low, some store owners inquire about point of sale POS systems, hidden cameras and microphones to catch dishonest employees in dishonest acts.   But, the most effective solution is a blended solution that includes some or all of the above. Scheduling a site evaluation is the first step to creating that effective surveillance solution.  These are just a few of the things a store owner should expect during a site evaluation:

• Site Inspection -  the surveillance company professional will inspect both the outside and the inside of the property. Your representative will want to come out while your business is in operation to see the flow of foot and vehicle traffic.  The inspection will include retail areas and office space.
    
• Site Graph Preparation - during the inspection and the interview, the surveillance company representative will create a site graph to identify sight lines, natural and artificial lighting, and potential locations for placement of monitors, cameras, microphones and recording equipment. 

• Store Owner Interview - the surveillance company professional will ask you questions concerning operation of any current equipment, issues, concerns, special needs and budget.  This is key to ensuring that the store owner's needs are considered and any questions or concerns addressed before any recommendations are made.

• Surveillance Company Recommendations - once the site has been inspected, a site graph prepared and the store owner interviewed, now the surveillance company professional uses their expertise to craft a solution that will meet the needs of the customer while respecting their budget.

Working with a surveillance company with experience in retail installations will ensure a successful installation providing the desired results.
