Small shops lose stock to quick, practised theft. Cameras at the door, the till and the rails catch the pattern. Most people only find out what their cameras missed on the day they needed them. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Four to six cameras cover most boutiques. - Door and till first, then the rails. - Never record inside fitting rooms. Quick answer 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. [Photo: Alan J.

Real products, live prices, in stock now ## 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. ## What to look for before you buy 1. **Door camera**: Face height, facing inwards, so every customer's face is recorded. 2. **Till camera**: Overhead, covering the counter and the bag handover. 3. **Rail camera**: High, covering the busiest racks and the hands working them. 4. **Back corner camera**: Covers the blind spot behind mannequins and displays. 5. **Fitting-room approach**: Aim at the corridor only; no camera inside the cubicle. 6. **Display a sign**: Tell customers they are on camera; it also deters theft. ## Where these figures come from Figures are indicative and change often; confirm with a written quote.

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. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
