Industry Use Cases

We have installed security cameras to secure over a thousand businesses across many sectors.
Here are some of the use cases for common types of small businesses.

Let's say that Cactus Club has 20 security cameras. How many do you think face the back kitchen, and how many face the front and tables? 17 face the back while 3 face front.

For restaurants, there's more risk in the back where there are knives, fires, cash, expensive equipment, and people running around under pressure. There is a higher likelihood and higher consequences to workplace accidents, incidents between employees, and theft/vandalism. As an owner or manager, there are few feelings as bad as your stomach sinking when you go through one of these unprepared.

Security camera footage helps to deter incidents, support insurance claims, back up employee disputes, and keep an eye on productivity. Savvy managers even review sped-up security camera footage to analyze work flow and come up with ideas to improve layout and process to maximize productivity.

The key to a successful security camera installation is to cover important work areas where there is more traffic or more risk. That includes areas where cash is handled and stored, fire is used, cutting is done, and expensive equipment is used.

Security cameras can also provide valuable business metrics with people counting, queue counting, and heat mapping features. Cameras pointed at doorways can count entries/exits, count queue sizes, and heatmap where people walk--all summarized in timestamped reports. These can provide valuable business metrics, especially when compared to sales reports for gaps.

As an owner or manager, you can feel in control and relieved with the ability to review and playback footage of your restaurant from anywhere in the world on a free mobile app.

Retailers deal with the challenge of having valuable inventory laid out over a large area with many blind spots-- and anyone can just walk through it. Sophisticated thieves--both customers and employees--are experienced with navigating shops unnoticed.

On top of that, safety concerns make it hard to retain staff, with the 2024 Retail Worker Safety Survey showing 80% of retail workers are scared every day they go to work.

Here are some sobering statistics in the retail industry:

50% of retail workers have witnessed a theft.
Every year, on average 1.6% of inventory value is stolen.
75% of employees have stolen at least once from their employer
Employees steal an average of $1,890 from retailers.
47% of managers report workers have quit due to safety concerns.

Solving this doesn't have to be hard. Professional security cameras offer two solutions: deter crime & make your staff feel safe.

Properly-placed, obvious security cameras deter theft, with research showing they decrease shoplifting by 65%. That means obvious cameras on the floor, in the back, and where cash is handled.

After-hours are most dangerous for retailers, since thieves know that retailers have valuable inventory and cash. Security cameras with AI-detection and scheduled deterrence features deter criminals with strobe lights, flood lights, and sirens, while instantly bookmarking events and notifying you on a mobile app. These features are now incredibly affordable with no subscriptions.

Security camera footage also helps with employee disputes and keeping an eye on productivity. Savvy managers even review sped-up security camera footage to analyze employee & customer flow and gain valuable insights.

Owners and managers of warehouses and factory deal with many challenges. There are safety risks with dangerous tasks and machinery, valuable inventory is laid out over a large area and can be stolen by employees, and they're located in places away from people where thieves feel confident they won't be caught.

Here are some sobering statistics:

Every year, inventory loss can account for 3-5% of sales.
75% of employees have stolen at least once from their employer
Business burglaries increased as much as 500% in Canada since the Covid pandemic.
Each year an average of 5.6 of every 100 BC workers in these industries will be injured.

Professional security cameras are a cost-effective way to deter crime and keep an eye on safety.

Every office has their own challenges. These might be sensitive documents or technology, break-ins, or employee misconduct.

Here are some sobering statistics:

47% of Canadian small businesses were impacted by crime last year.
About half of Canadian women have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace.
Employees slack, with more than 50% self-reporting that "they're just showing up"

With sensitive crops, expensive machinery, and often too much land to keep track of, security is difficult in the agriculture sector. Professional security cameras are a great way to deter crime and new technologies can elevate your facility's security.

Security cameras with AI-detection and colour night vision can automatically identify people, vehicles, and license plates and bookmark the footage. Detections can trigger scheduled deterrence features like flood lights, strobe lights, sirens built into the cameras and notify you on a mobile app. These features are now incredibly affordable with no subscriptions.

New heat-vision security cameras and radar security cameras are able to capture heat signatures and motion of a much larger area and send instant notifications. Combining this with a motorized camera with an auto-zoom lens makes a large area more manageable.

A farm doesn't have to feel too big anymore. You can feel in control and relieved with the ability to review and playback footage of the property from anywhere in the world on a free mobile app.

Health care facilities and residential care facilities face unique challenges, providing care to both at-risk patients and at-risk employees while complying with privacy regulations. Risk is around every corner.

81% of care workers have experienced at least one incident of workplace violence last year, while 1 in every 10 patients is harmed in health care.

Professional security cameras are critical to mitigate and document incidents. AI-detection of people makes it easy to keep track of footage where people are involved.

Additionally, new technologies like radar-cameras can augment quality of care. For example, a senior home with radar cameras in each room uses AI to detect dangerous events and patient abnormalities for rapid response. This improves the quality of care they provide and is a major selling point for customers.

The risks of managing a care facility do not have to feel overwhelming with the ability to review and playback footage of the property from anywhere in the world on a free mobile app.

Strata councils and property managers have an obligation to keep tenants and their property safe. Each year, Metro Vancouver homes face a 1 in 18 chance of being the victim of a property crime.

Professional security cameras are a cost-effective way to deter crime.

Security cameras with AI-detection, colour night vision, and scheduled deterrence features can capture incidents and deter criminals with flood lights, while instantly bookmarking events and notifying you on a mobile app. These features are now incredibly affordable with no subscriptions.

People, vehicle, and license-plate detection can be used to enable various automated use cases, like automatically capturing by-law infractions in parkades and garbage areas.
