Live video monitoring that stops shrink and protects your retail store

1Degree Surveillance provides retail store video monitoring, available directly to retailers or white label through your monitoring company, alarm dealer, or security integrator. Our operators watch sales floors, stockrooms, entrances, and parking areas around the clock, so your store gets covered without building a monitoring center of your own.

What retail store monitoring must get right

Retail loss shows up in many places at once: shoplifting, employee theft, and after hours break-ins. Coverage has to address all of it, not just the sales floor camera in the front of the store.

Reducing shrink from every angle

Retail loss comes from organized retail crime and from internal theft. Coverage needs to catch both without slowing down day to day store operations.

Protecting staff during opening and closing

Early morning and late night hours carry the highest risk for employees. Monitoring needs to watch these windows closely and respond quickly.

Indoor cameras alone miss what happens in parking lots and at entrances. Retail coverage has to include both indoor and outdoor areas at once.

Footage only helps when it is organized, time stamped, and easy to hand off to a loss prevention team or law enforcement after an incident.

A monitoring team built for retail stores

Retail stores carry a mix of risks that generic monitoring setups often miss: organized theft, internal shrink, and staff safety during opening and closing. 1Degree operators are trained to watch for all three, indoors and outdoors, so your clients get coverage that matches how retail loss actually happens.

What most monitoring providers miss about retail

Many monitoring providers treat every commercial account the same way. Retail stores need a different approach because the risks show up in specific windows and specific places.

A common scenario

A regional monitoring company added several retail store clients and needed coverage for sales floors, stockrooms, and parking areas during opening, closing, and overnight hours. Rather than hire and train a new team, they used 1Degree white label operator bench to extend coverage under their own brand, with AI assisted detection flagging suspicious activity for human review before dispatch.
