Butcheries lose stock at the cold room and the till. Use cameras built for damp, cool spaces and cover both. Imagine something goes wrong at your gate tonight. Could you show exactly who, when and how? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - 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. Quick answer 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. [Photo: Alan J.

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. ## 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.
