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.
