A boutique usually needs four to six cameras: the door, the till, the main rails, the back corner and the fitting-room approach. Never put a camera inside a fitting room, and point the corridor camera so it only sees the entrance. Clothes shops are targeted with bags, wraps and layered clothing, so a clear view of hands and bags at the rails is more useful than a wide view of the whole room.
Key takeaways
- Four to six cameras cover most boutiques.
- Door and till first, then the rails.
- Never record inside fitting rooms.
- A visible camera deters opportunists.

06Frequently asked questions
Can I put a camera in the fitting room?
No. Recording people changing is a serious privacy violation. Cover the corridor leading to the fitting room and keep staff vigilance there.
How do boutique shoplifters usually work?
Press reports and vendors describe groups with bags, layered clothing and distraction while one person takes items. A camera on the door and the rails records faces and the pattern.
Is a 4-camera kit enough?
For a small shop a 4-channel kit can cover door, till, rails and back corner. Check the field of view of each camera against the shop layout.
Should the cameras be hidden?
Visible cameras deter theft. Cover the till and door openly; a discreet camera is optional and still needs a sign.
