# POS and CCTV Integration

Pair the till with cameras and a suspicious void is no longer your word against theirs.

Every typed price is a chance for a mistake, and every mistake is money.

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Cameras over the till record what the POS cannot.
- Timestamps link a transaction to the footage.
- Some equipment overlays receipt text on video.

Quick answer

POS and CCTV work together when cameras cover the till, counter and stockroom, and the POS records every transaction with a time and cashier name. Some recorders can overlay or search transaction text against video where the equipment supports it. At the least, the timestamp on a void or discount tells you exactly where to look in the footage.

## Key takeaways

- Cameras over the till record what the POS cannot.
- Timestamps link a transaction to the footage.
- Some equipment overlays receipt text on video.
- Cover the counter, the drawer and the stockroom.
- Check the legal and privacy notice requirements for your premises.

## What to cover

**Till and cashier**: A clear view of the screen, drawer and hands

**Customer side**: Who is paying and how

**Stockroom**: Where stock enters and leaves

**Entrance**: Customer and staff flow

**Back door**: Deliveries and exits

**Recorder**: Stores footage and exports clips

## How to use the two together

1. **Spot the exception**: A void, discount or no-sale in the POS report.
2. **Note the time**: Time and till from the report.
3. **Find the footage**: Search the recorder to that time.
4. **Confirm**: See what happened at the till.
5. **Act**: Retrain, warn or take further steps.

## Frequently asked questions

Can the POS text appear on the video?

Some recorders and POS combinations support text overlay; ask for it in the specification.
