Retail Applications
The most important applications of cameras in retail are surveillance of checkouts, aisles and the immediate surroundings, such as entrances and parking lots. “As they enter the supermarket, our customers are made aware of our surveillance through the public view monitor”, says Elzinga. “Of course no privacy-sensitive recordings are stored. Only if there is an incident or if anything is unclear in relation to a payment, for example, is the relevant footage viewed. Thanks to the high resolution MOBOTIX lenses our images are razor-sharp, which means the police is happy too. We also use the cameras to monitor if additional checkouts need to be opened depending on how busy it is and for surveillance of costly packaging materials. Like the older models, which have already been in use for six years, these new indoor models work very well for us, while being far less conspicuous than cameras by other brands.”
