How the V200 Body Camera Works in Retail: A Real-World Use Case
In a retail environment, safety is a top priority for both employees and customers. But what happens when a situation arises that requires immediate attention, like a theft or a confrontation? This is where the V200 body camera steps in to provide a quick, effective solution. Here’s how it works:
IF a retail employee witnesses a theft or confrontational situation in the store
THEN they press the escalation button on their V200 body camera to initiate livestream video and connect directly to the Security Operations Center (SOC) via GoLive Audio for real-time assessment
AND security teams assess the situation visually through the livestream and communicate directly with the employee or aggressor to de-escalate the situation and/or deploy the appropriate response.
AND the video footage is uploaded and stored in VideoManager EX for further review, including training, prosecution, or any other necessary follow-up.
