Watch the register.
Lock up with confidence.

Cameras, alarms and door access for retail stores in McAllen and across the Valley — from a strip-mall boutique to a busy corner shop off the Expressway.

  • A clear view of the register and the counter
  • The stockroom and the back door covered
  • Know the store was locked and armed at closing

Built around a retail day

A store has a rhythm: somebody opens, the register runs all day, stock comes through the back, somebody closes. The system follows that rhythm instead of fighting it.

Eyes on the register

A camera over the counter shows the drawer, the hands and the customer side. When the till comes up short or a customer disputes a sale, you can pull up that exact moment instead of guessing.

  • A clear angle on the drawer and the counter
  • Jump to the time of a sale
  • Save and share the clip

The stockroom and the back door

Most of what a store loses leaves through the back, not the front. A sensor on the back door, a camera over it and one on the stockroom shelves show you who went in, what came out and when.

  • An alert if the back door opens after hours
  • A camera on the stockroom and receiving area
  • Codes or cards for staff who handle stock

Opening and closing, handled

Every employee gets their own code, so you know who opened in the morning and who locked up at night. If the store is still not armed half an hour after closing, you hear about it on your phone.

  • Openings and closings by name
  • A late-to-arm alert
  • Lights and thermostat on a schedule with the store hours
Built in

After hours, the store
is not alone

When the lights go off, the door and motion sensors take over, and the cameras keep watching the front glass, the back door and the lot. You get the alert and the clip together, and optional monitoring can be added for the nights you would rather someone else was watching too.

What a retail store usually needs

The layout depends on the store. These are the four things we look at first.

Register and counter

A camera that shows the drawer and the transaction.

Stockroom

A camera and a door sensor where the inventory sits.

Back door

A sensor, a camera and an alert if it opens after closing.

Store hours

Late-to-arm alerts and lights on the same schedule.

A system laid out for your store.

We will walk the store with you before or after hours, show you where each camera and sensor should go, and put a number on it — no charge, and no pressure to sign anything on the spot.

Questions

Retail security questions people ask

Straight answers before anybody comes out to look at the property.

Will the cameras help with shoplifting?

They help you see what happened and when, and a visible camera over the counter makes people think twice. They will not stop someone who is determined, and we will not tell you otherwise. What they give you is a clear record.

Can I watch the store from home?

Yes. Every camera is in the app, with live view and recorded clips.

Can each cashier have their own code?

Yes. Each person gets their own code, so openings and closings are tied to a name. A code can be removed the day someone leaves.

We are in a strip mall. Can you still install?

Usually, yes. Some landlords have rules about what goes on the outside of the building, so it helps to check your lease. We will work inside those rules and tell you on the walk-through what they allow.

Can you install without closing the store?

Most of the work can happen before opening or after closing. Tell us your hours on the walk-through and we will plan around them.

Do I have to pay for monitoring?

No. Monitoring is optional, and you can add it later.
