Introduction

Loss prevention in the retail businesses is concerned with inventory shrinkage and the shortage of currency. Losses related to POS transactions can be a main cause of the shrinkage for the most part. An effective POS-DVR surveillance solution can help employers deal with these situations.

The HexaCam POS-DVR surveillance system provides visual contextual awareness to reduce shrinkage and protect asset against business losses. While working in conjunction use with HC-Data Capture, the HC-Series surveillance system can turn into a POS-DVR surveillance system, which helps you with tools to remotely monitor cashier area, associate POS transaction data with videos, record videos for retroactive analysis, and even to output alarms for emergent events.


Advantages

A safer environment for employees
Loss prevention: By comparing transaction data with recorded video contents, employers can verify refund frauds, void manipulation, or wrong cash handling procedures.

Main Features
POS Video Text Overlay: Transaction text messages can be displayed on screen and on the video files. You may also choose to hide data from the screen view.

Abnormal Transaction Alerts: When pre-defined abnormal transactions occur, such as transactions over a certain value amount, the system will automatically output alarm devices and activate an alert message via email, phone, or by SMS.
Cash Drawer Input Setting: Allows the user to set module to the cash drawer so that whenever the cash drawer is open, an alert will be sent to the HC-DVR System site and the transaction will be saved in the System Log for later retrieval.
