Security cameras in supermarkets?
All the information about the use of CCTV Cameras in supermarkets
The goods in supermarkets are on open shelves rather than being behind a counter as in traditional shops. The temptation for customers to steal goods is much greater. For this reason, supermarkets were the first type of shop to install closed circuit television cameras [CCTV] to watch the customers.
The CCTV reduced theft from supermarket shelves but also provided fascinating evidence about customer behaviour. By studying hours of video tapes of customers moving around the shops, supermarkets were able to gain insights into customer
behaviour. These insights have influenced the design and layout of supermarkets.
Here is a case study on how one business CCTV security system solution helped a national supermarket reduce its losses. The client: a multiple site retailer; the problem: Various crime related issues, but particularly retail theft (shoplifting), till abuse (sweethearting) and corrupt staff. Ignore the product promotion, look at the info it gives about reducing crime through CCTV. http://www.preventcrime.co.uk/pdfs/cctvprofile.pdf
This is an interesting article on loyalty cards which discusses CCTV surveillance. http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,3605,999866,00.html
"The retention of a supermarket's CCTV data - unless required as evidence in criminal proceedings - requires the customer's consent." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/06/27/must_do_better_ec_data/
