    Video enable transactions

    Discover the benefits of pairing video with transaction information.

    What is XProtect Transact?

    XProtect Transact is an add-on product for most of our XProtect VMS and Milestone Husky NVRs that matches individual transaction events with corresponding video. XProtect Transact extracts transactional data from point-of-sale (POS), barcode scanning systems and other data systems, and pairs that data with video from the time of the transaction.

    Why should I video-enable my transactions?

    Pairing video with transaction information is a powerful tool for those working in the retail or shipping industry. It also has applications for the financial sector as well. By video-enabling your transactions, you can:

    • Investigate suspected fraudulent activity
    • Address product shrinkage
    • Document shipments and track parcels

    How can I use XProtect Transact?

    XProtect Transact is a fully integrated part of the XProtect Smart Client . Through a single interface, you can control your cameras and other security system hardware, and combine the video information with your transaction data. This not only creates a more efficient administrative workflow, it also enables you to:

    • Monitor point-of-sale terminals and cash registers in real-time
    • Search for a specific transaction and the corresponding video of the transaction
    • Set up notifications each time a specific item is scanned
    • Generate reports on transactions, including transaction data and video thumbnails, for documentation purposes

    XProtect Retail is an investigation tool for performing advanced transaction data analysis. It helps retailers optimize store operations and increase profit by identifying fraud and reducing shrinkage.

Advanced search options, full video documentation and a set of pre-defined performance indicators make it easy to maintain a complete overview of store operations, cash registers/tills and employees so retailers can protect the entire business and customers.

    XProtect Retail key features

    POS and ERP systems

    How can I more efficiently monitor video cameras and receipts to identify fraud?

    Using XProtect Retail, video sequences can be linked with receipt and transaction data gathered from the POS system, ERP system or ATMs. XProtect Retail helps reduce fraud by identifying and sending alerts about suspicious activity such as misuse of gift cards, discounts and refunds or blacklisted credit cards.

    Self-checkout

    Did the customer scan and pay for every item?

    Self-scanning is becoming increasingly popular. With XProtect Retail you can view transaction data alongside corresponding video of the transaction together in the software. Incidents can be efficiently tracked and video data can be exported and handed over to the proper authorities.

    Discovery of fraud patterns

    Was a transaction an error or a pattern of fraud?

    With XProtect Retail, users can search transaction and video data from specific cash registers/tills to see if an incident was an anomaly, frequently repeated or even an attempt at systematic fraud.
