A butchery needs cameras on the till, the counter, the cold room door and the back entrance where meat arrives and leaves. Choose cameras rated for water and dust spray in wash-down areas, and keep recorders in a dry, locked cabinet outside the cold room. Livestock theft reports in Kenya describe stolen animals being sold on through butcheries, so recording deliveries and who delivers also protects you from buying stolen meat.
Key takeaways
- Till, counter, cold room door and back entrance.
- Use damp-rated cameras near wash areas.
- Keep the recorder dry and locked outside the cold room.
- Record deliveries and who makes them.

06Frequently asked questions
Can cameras work in a cold room?
Standard cameras struggle with condensation and cold. Mount them outside the cold room door, or use equipment rated for the temperature.
Why record deliveries?
It protects you if you are later asked where meat came from, and it shows who handled stock when something goes missing.
How many cameras for a small butchery?
Often four: till, counter, cold room door and back door.
Do I need an alarm too?
For a shop with stock and cash overnight, yes: door and motion sensors with a siren and phone alerts.
