Aluisio Figueiredo, CEO Transgressions such as shoplifting, employee theft and inventory shrinkage are one of the most common misdeeds that erode profit in the retail sector. A study released by the National Retail Federation reveals that this misdemeanor has piled up to a challenge of $32 billion. In this scenario, it is not surprising that retailers today are aiming to safeguard their profits by minimizing these offensive crimes. Retail video surveillance solutions are proving to be a boon for retailers to protect business, by dissuading crime, and ultimately reducing losses by augmenting a safer environment. Headquartered in Woodbridge, NJ, Intelligent Security Systems (ISS) provides security surveillance and control systems for networked digital video and audio recording, video image pattern processing and digital data transmission. The company assists retailers worldwide to shore up their bottom lines through automated security procedures.

Enterprise supports an unlimited number of connected servers managing an unlimited number of cameras and devices. Additionally, Enterprise supports the full complement of ISS Video Analytics Modules on all channels and can be deployed in a standalone deployment or as part of a more enterprise level SecurOS Monitoring and Control Center (MCC) system.

The company’s SecurOS Professional is easy to use, with multiple layers of authorization and management, powerful with long term scalability and time-tested reliability in thousands of mission critical installations. The system balances feature rich capabilities, ease of use, and value for a great video management and recording solution. Furthermore, Xpress is the entry level choice in the ISS Video Management system product line, with special features for smaller deployments when value is a key consideration.

ISS also offers POS Transaction Monitoring and Synchronization as an optional module on the SecurOS line of video management software. The SecurOS links live video with transaction data from a POS system and allows retailers to search for specific transactions and review the video archive of that transaction. The solution integrates with other ISS analytics to provide a complete retail solution, including recognition of known shoplifters, license plate recognition for gas stations—effectively combating fraud and loss occurring in transactions.
