Retail loss prevention

Q: Can it detect "sweethearting" (staff giving away free items)?

Yes, the system can monitor the interaction between the staff, the product, and the POS system to ensure every item passing the scanner is recorded.

Q: Does this require expensive specialized cameras?

No, YOLO is designed to work with standard 1080p CCTV hardware, making it a cost-effective upgrade to existing security infrastructure.

Q: How does it handle crowded store environments?

The model is trained to maintain high accuracy in dense environments, distinguishing between legitimate shopping behavior and high-risk maneuvers.

Protect your bottom line with intelligent surveillance that identifies suspicious behavior and checkout irregularities.
