This national retailer with 12 high-shrink locations was spending over $180,000 annually on security guards with inconsistent results. Organized retail crime rings had identified their stores as easy targets, and after-hours break-ins continued despite visible patrols. The security director needed a solution that could provide 24/7 coverage without the unpredictability and cost of human guards at every location. Traditional wired CCTV required expensive infrastructure that was impractical for their leased retail spaces.
SCT+ deployed solar-powered AI cameras at all 12 sites within two weeks. The Watch-Warn-Respond system provides continuous AI-powered surveillance that detects threats in real-time, issues immediate audio warnings through integrated speakers, and coordinates with law enforcement when needed. No electrical infrastructure or permits were required. 24/7 human-verified monitoring replaced overnight guard shifts while maintaining daytime security staff for customer service.
