Robbers often walk in as customers and strike at quiet times. Cameras, an alarm and cash habits make you a harder target. A camera that records nothing useful is the most expensive thing on your wall. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Face-height door camera plus a counter camera. - A panic button within reach of the attendant. - Keep little cash on hand; bank or move it often. Quick answer Kenyan news reports describe M-Pesa agent robberies where thieves enter as ordinary customers, wait, then draw weapons, often at closing time or when the shop is quiet. You cannot make a shop robbery-proof, but you can make it harder and the thieves easier to identify: a clear camera on the door at face height, one on the counter, a visible sign, a panic or alarm button you can reach, and cash habits that keep little on hand. Footage has helped identify and arrest suspects in several Kenyan cases. [Photo: Alan J.

Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Face-height door camera plus a counter camera. - A panic button within reach of the attendant. - Keep little cash on hand; bank or move it often. - Be most careful at opening and closing. ## What to look for before you buy 1. **Door camera**: Face height, facing inwards, so every person entering is recorded clearly. 2. **Counter camera**: Overhead, covering the counter, the till and the attendant. 3. **Panic button and alarm**: A button the attendant can press without being seen, with a siren and phone alert. 4. **Cash habits**: Move cash out during the day, vary the routine and never count cash in view of the door. 5. **Closing routine**: Lock the door before counting; two people where possible. 6. **Signs and lighting**: Good lighting outside and a camera sign; both deter planners. ## Where these figures come from Figures are indicative and change often; confirm with a written quote.

Some are deterred and some are not. Reports show suspects glance at cameras and still strike, but clear footage has led to arrests. Aim for faces at the door, not just a wide view. Where should the panic button go? Under the counter where the attendant can reach it naturally, and ideally one near the back door. Test it with the alarm company or your phone alerts. How much cash should I keep? As little as the business allows. Ask your float provider about limits and bank or move cash regularly; a thin till is a poor target. Should I hire a guard? A guard helps, but reports show guards are targeted too. Treat a guard as one layer next to cameras, an alarm and good procedures, not a replacement. ## 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.
