Sentinel LIVE: Transforming Retail Loss Prevention

Retail theft costs businesses billions annually. From opportunistic shoplifting to organized retail crime (ORC), losses continue to grow. Sentinel LIVE provides retailers with a powerful tool to identify known offenders, prevent organized retail crime, and protect their bottom line—all while improving the customer experience for honest shoppers.

The Growing Challenge of Retail Theft

Retail theft has evolved beyond petty shoplifting. Organized crime rings target stores systematically, using sophisticated techniques to steal merchandise at scale. Traditional security measures—guards, cameras, EAS tags—are often insufficient against these coordinated threats.

Real-Time Identification with Sentinel LIVE

Sentinel LIVE integrates with existing store cameras to provide real-time identification of known offenders. When someone on a watchlist enters the store, security personnel are immediately alerted, enabling proactive intervention before theft occurs.

Reducing Losses Without Impacting Customers

Unlike aggressive security measures that can alienate honest customers, Sentinel LIVE operates invisibly. Legitimate shoppers experience no inconvenience, while potential thieves are deterred by the knowledge that they can be identified.

Building Intelligence Over Time

Sentinel LIVE doesn't just react to known threats—it helps build intelligence about criminal patterns. By tracking repeat offenders across multiple locations, retailers can better understand and combat organized retail crime.

Privacy and Compliance

AVA-X understands the importance of operating within legal and ethical boundaries. Sentinel LIVE can be configured to focus only on known offenders, without general customer surveillance, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.

Conclusion

Sentinel LIVE represents a new approach to retail security—proactive, intelligent, and focused on genuine threats. For retailers facing growing losses, it offers a powerful solution.
