Point Of Sale Security With Shopify Store Cam App And Nest Cameras And Nest Cameras

Security in this day and age is one of the most difficult things to identify and work with. Privacy has taken a hit. But as with any retail company or business, it is important to have, if not full, at least partial control over what is happening within the vicinity of your store and the nature of the transactions that occur, along with the ones that don’t.

But how does one accomplish that? Well, with Shopify, you don’t have to go an extra mile to get the best kind of security ideal for your store at all. The point of sale system that Shopify helps you set up is capable of managing a whole security wing of its own. Of course, it tracks every single transaction and all kinds of data that originates from your store is stored and saved for reference later.

But as with any security system, nothing can replace a camera. And this is where the Store Cam for Shopify will help you. Further, Shopify even takes care of the ordeal of selecting a camera that fits your needs and budget.

All About The Store Cam For Shopify

Shopify always goes a few steps ahead then you’d expect it to. Of course, the Shopify app is available for your smartphone and smart devices to make managing your e-retail or ecommerce website simple and easy. And besides offering you a security option, it has a separate app called Store Cam that integrates with your Shopify point of sale system.

This app syncs with Nest Cameras (made by Google) and gives you a live feed- both in the Store Cam app and also on the Shopify app. This means not only are you managing your store, transactions, inventory, employee log, and corresponding data- you’re also controlling your security. This direct line of sight makes things simple- even for amateur businessmen and managers. Talk about having it all so easy!

The app serves three main purposes- monitoring your retail store, thereby enhancing security and safety, which directly leads to avoiding and ultimately preventing theft in the store- either by visitors, customers, and employees.

But it doesn’t stop at the live feed. The Store Cam app serves a specific role of the Big Brother for every transaction. How? Well, whenever a transaction occurs, your employee has to make an entry into the point of sale system, in this case, Shopify. As soon as this is done, the camera takes a series of pictures, saving it alongside the transaction data of that specific purchase. This data set includes names and details of the employee who conducted the transaction and the product or service purchased. If you have a customer program in place, then repeat customers’ details will also be included. This keeps fraud, theft, and traffic all in check- all while having relevant evidence.
