ກ້ອງວົງຈອນປິດສຳລັບຮ້ານຄ້າ: ຕິດແນວໃດໃຫ້ເຫັນທັງລູກຄ້າ ແລະ ບ່ອນເກັບເງິນกล้องวงจรปิดสำหรับร้านค้า: ติดอย่างไรให้เห็นทั้งลูกค้าและจุดเก็บเงินCCTV for shops: covering customers and the cash counter properly

In a shop, cameras do more than deter theft. They help reconcile cash, settle disputes and let the owner check in from anywhere.

Where to put cameras

• Entrance: positioned to capture faces of people walking in, not just the tops of heads
• Cash counter: showing the till, staff hands and the customer
• Aisles and shelves: especially high-value stock
• Stock room and back door: where goods come in and go out
• Shop front: people and vehicles outside after closing

The image quality you need

• Entrance camera: close enough to recognise faces; a camera too far away will not show faces clearly however sharp it is
• Cash counter camera: mounted almost directly overhead to see banknotes and the drawer
• Long aisles: use a lens that suits the distance instead of one wide-angle camera

Be careful with audio

Some cameras record sound. Put up signs so customers and staff know cameras and recording are in use, and never install cameras in toilets or changing rooms.

Watching the shop remotely

• Owners can watch live and play back on their phone
• Give staff access to selected cameras only, without the right to delete footage
• Set motion alerts for after closing time

How long to keep footage

Most shops keep about 30 days. Choose a large enough hard disk, and put the recorder on a UPS so recording continues through power cuts. Keep the recorder somewhere lockable, not at the counter.
