Till monitoring solution that integrates CCTV images with transaction data

Vista (www.vista-cctv.com), the UK’s premier brand of CCTV equipment, has announced the launch of Vista TEAM - Transaction EPoS and ATM Monitoring.   This new till monitoring solution provides users with a highly efficient and easily searchable method for recording and reviewing integrated transaction and CCTV data, from a multitude of EPOS (Till) machines.

Vista TEAM comprises four elements:

1.       Multiple high resolution CCTV cameras installed at EPoS sites and positioned to capture the best view of customer and cashier

2.       Interface device between Till and TEAM

3.       Vista TEAM data monitoring device

4.       Triplex™ Columbus Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

The TEAM monitoring device passes sales transaction data from the EPoS system via an interface to the Triplex™ Columbus DVR. The DVR then combines and records the transaction data with captured CCTV images. Video and transaction information are stored on the Triplex™ Columbus hard disk unit that provides from 40GB to 1,000 GB of storage.

Paul Fordham, Business Development Executive in Norbain’s Retail Strategic Accounts Department, believes that Vista TEAM represents a major step forward in the intelligent convergence of retail-based technologies:

"Vista TEAM has two major attractions. The first is the real time video display of transaction data. As items are swiped through the EPoS reader or cards swiped through the EFTPoS reader, the transaction data is processed in real time over the live video images. This provides a level of detailed evidence currently absent from separate CCTV and till systems. Proving that a specific image corresponds to a specific transaction is almost impossible without the level of integration that Vista TEAM provides.

"The second major attraction," Paul Fordham continues "is the text search facility that is available with the Triplex™ Columbus DVR. Any transaction can be interrogated by transaction ID, goods purchased, sku code, payment type, price, cashier ID, date, time and void transaction. Searches can also be undertaken on part or whole Credit Card and Direct Debit numbers and Staff Discount Card numbers."

Vista TEAM can also be integrated with a company’s forensic data mining tools for detailed transaction analysis. Centralised monitoring is accommodated through the network capabilities of the Triplex™ Columbus DVR with images accessed on remote PCs using WaveReader™ software supplied with the unit.

Paul Fordham believes that medium sized retailers (those with up to 16 tills per store, and many stores nationwide) will find Vista TEAM offers a swift return on investment:

"Our estimates are that the standard pay-back period for retail CCTV installations is reduced to a matter of months using Vista TEAM. We are extremely confident of its success rate, both as a deterrent and detection tool."

Key features of Vista TEAM include:

• Simultaneous video monitoring of up to 16 EPoS terminals displayed live or in playback mode
• Real-time monitoring of selected EPoS terminals
• On-screen display of user defined transaction data in real-time
• Synchronised sale transaction and video database
• Digital video recording or playback with on-video data transaction
• Serial connectivity with EPoS terminal that can be programmed to trigger video recording
• Video search and archive retrieval by text query according to required terminal transaction, date/time or void transactions
• Remote video access using WaveReader software
