Reduce shoplifting with intelligent video surveillance
Theft detection in shopping centers is anything but trivial. Unlike in supermarkets with clear sight lines and standardized processes, people move freely here between boutiques, fitting rooms, seating areas, and dining areas. They try on goods, set them aside, come back—or disappear into the flow of visitors. Standard solutions for AI theft detection quickly reach their limits here. That’s exactly why we rely on Vaidio for intelligent integration into existing EAS systems.
When it's just too much...
An automatic theft detection solely through video cameras is technically conceivable – but in practice, it is hardly feasible without massive compromises. Either countless camera perspectives would have to be installed in a very small space, which is off-putting, or one risks a flood of false alarms. These often lead to innocent customers finding themselves in uncomfortable situations – which is in the interest of neither security management nor the shopping experience.
and standard is not sufficient
AI-based theft detection is not a universal plug-and-play system. What may work in a supermarket with clear sight lines and open shelves cannot simply be transferred to a shopping mall—especially not to areas with fitting rooms, changing merchandise displays, or high customer traffic. A visual assessment of behavior alone is not sufficient here to make valid decisions. Particularly problematic: With a limited perspective, the AI cannot reliably distinguish whether a person is pocketing merchandise or merely putting their phone or wallet back into their pocket—which quickly leads to unnecessary false alarms.
requires a practical approach
Therefore, we rely on the direct integration of Vaidio with your existing EAS system. When an alarm is triggered, Vaidio automatically creates an image of the person in question, links it to the camera feed, and tracks the person through cross-camera tracking throughout the entire center – even with high visitor traffic. This allows your security team to respond quickly, precisely, and discreetly, without unnecessary surveillance or inappropriate intrusions into your customers’ privacy.
