SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2009) - 3VR
Security, Inc., the searchable surveillance leader, today announced a
full suite of video surveillance features specifically tailored to the
security needs of retailers. Best known for its video analytic
and search innovations for the financial services industry, 3VR is looking
to bring similar game-changing innovations to retailers.
Retail-specific features now include people counting capabilities, advanced
object tracking and surveillance, and integrations to critical retail
systems like point-of-sale, electronic article surveillance systems and
access control, and are available on all 3VR SmartRecorders, including the
newly released
S-Series.
"3VR continues to raise the bar for integrated video solutions for
retailers," said Jim Rao, director of video technology for Vector Security.
"With point-of-sale integration, people counting and facial recognition on
a single box, retailers can leverage their existing camera infrastructure
to obtain visibility and control of their business that has previously been
out of reach because of cost and complexity."
Combining a powerful searchable surveillance platform with advanced
analytics and comprehensive integration options, 3VR has established itself
as the industry standard for intelligent video surveillance. 3VR boasts the
largest private facial recognition deployment in the world and over 600
customers in a range of industries from retail to banking, hospitality and
government.
Now explicitly designed for the specific needs of retailers, the
award-winning 3VR platform provides retail customers the opportunity to
more efficiently combat return desk fraud and organized retail crime,
monitor employee and customer activity, and dramatically improve the
overall security and profitability of their operations.
Highly sophisticated return desk fraud prevention capabilities alert
security personnel immediately upon the detection of returning shoplifters,
while 3VR's industry-leading facial and license plate recognition
technology aids in the prevention of organized retail crime by alerting
retailers when suspects enter a store.
3VR's extensive point-of-sale integration capabilities allow retailers to
view video associated with selected transactions based on parameters of
their choosing such as number of sales, returns or any other unique
identifier. Retailers can also choose to overlay product SKU information on
the video for enhanced viewing and investigations.
3VR's unique platform integrates easily with electronic article
surveillance solutions to provide store personnel with real-time video
alerts should a piece of tagged merchandise leave the premises providing
detailed information on the article's travel and location.
"Retailers face unique threats from organized retail theft, from return
desk fraud, to sweethearting," said Al Shipp, CEO at 3VR. "Our unique
multi-analytic and search technologies can help them turn the tide on these
multi-billion dollar problems and emerge the victor in the loss prevention
battle."
3VR offers a full range of product options for retailers, from the
E-Series SmartRecorder, the world's most advanced and flexible hybrid
DVR/NVR, to the
S-Series SmartRecorder, a newly released compact, economical and
low-bandwidth video system also built on 3VR's unique searchable
surveillance platform. All 3VR SmartRecorders feature video analytic, data
integration and search capabilities, in addition to advanced motion and
facial surveillance aiding in the prevention of return desk and organized
theft fraud. The solution furthermore features best-in-class central
management options ideal for cost conservative organizations.
