March Networks Technology for Retail

IP Video Systems
Smart video surveillance systems deliver a high level of visual intelligence to users, and provide a significantly lower cost of ownership through sophisticated remote networked management. High reliability, self diagnostics and the ability to automatically alert control personnel to such anomalies as camera tampering, alarm cuts and hard drive fatigue, mean less time spent on maintenance, and more on using a system’s capabilities to protect people and assets.

The R⁵ VOS (video operating system) lets retailers take advantage of the latest IP video technology while gradually replacing their installed CCTV infrastructure. High resolution cameras enable identification of known criminals and gangs, while robust video servers provide tremendous flexibility to extend storage times.

POS Transaction Capture
The March Networks LP Data Mining and Retail Transaction Investigation software applications provide Loss Prevention specialists with powerful business intelligence by delivering timely exception reporting data directly to the desktop.

Linking transaction receipts with video is achieved either through direct input of the POS data from the cash register to the DVR, or by transferring the store’s or chain’s T-log data to the POS Server, and linking it to the video archive. The latter is a powerful loss prevention tool enabling investigations in a matter of hours rather than days, while the March Networks POS Investigator provides a cost-effective tool for matching receipt keywords such as ‘void’ and ‘refund’ with associated video clips. Real-time viewing by a store manager, or post analysis by a storeowner or franchisee ensures that exceptions are monitored and quickly reviewed.
