The future of retail security is all about doing more, with less. Retailers who pair active deterrence systems into their video monitoring system reported that 70-80 percent of events are caught and stopped proactively, allowing more time, budget, and emergency resources to be saved for real, verified threats.
In this panel session on Oct. 10 at 1 p.m. ET, join industry leaders Anne Sullivan (Eye on Your Brand), Cathy Langley, LPC (Solink), James Garrett (Dollar Tree), and Chris Sisto (Solink) to explore common challenges with using traditional burglar alarms in fortification projects. Discover why replacing existing intrusion detection systems with video verification will help your business reduce false alarms, see faster emergency response times, and lower IT maintenance costs.
Preventing crime isn’t easy. But through modernizing detection systems and centralizing security efforts, it’s easier to spot where specific improvements need to be made. Learn how businesses, police, and shoppers all benefit from the switch to a more integrated active deterrence system that pairs directly with your existing video streams.
As a reminder, this webinar event qualifies as one Continuing Education (CE) credit for all Loss Prevention Certified (LPC) professionals. It will be recorded and shared with registrants following the event.
