SecurityNet Will Ensure Your Security Systems Work For You

Retail Crime

If you’re a retail trader, we don’t need to tell you that stock loss soaks up profit in Australian retail stores.

In August 2023 the Australian Financial Review reported that ASX-listed Coles Group had flagged that stock loss was up 20 per cent in fiscal 2023. This was due to higher rates of theft across its 850 stores. Read more about how the retail shoplifting epidemic is playing out, here: Australian Financial Review.

Crime & The Cost of Living

Small retailers are also suffering, as the cost of living crunch drives more people to consider criminal activity. Major organised crime rings are finding a ready market for pilfered goods, with people whose ethics are questionable. A further problem for retailers is the fact that some shoplifters resort to violence when challenged by retail or loss prevention staff

Sadly, most retailers will encounter some form of crime. The Australian Retailers Association has some good tips on how to use security technology in their Retail Theft and Crime Series.

Among those tips are mentions of how to use CCTV effectively, and the importance of having your security systems checked and maintained. But it goes a little deeper than that, the capabilities of your system are often not realised.

Simple Solutions

SecurityNet can introduce you to simple ways of making your security systems more effective.

Security design is often left to technicians, who are handed a box of equipment and a job card. Their aim is to assess where equipment is needed, as quickly as possible and get on to the next job. We will analyse your security systems to determine their effectiveness in meeting common threats. At the same time we will search for vulnerabilities that may be exploited.

Video Verification of Alarms

SecurityNet will develop the best strategy for detection and recording criminal activity in your store.

We’ll discuss all the key issues with you, listen to your concerns, and propose solutions that will met your budget. We’ll even draw camera layout, on your floorplan, incorporating your preferred camera brand. This will show horizontal lens angles for a chosen camera resolution (in megapixels) and the distances at which Detection, Observation, Recognition and Identification can be achieved.

The cost of our service is modest and we will send you a fee proposal, outlining the services you will receive. You will find that video verification of alarms will save you money, by eliminating false alarms that result in additional charges by security services and police.
