Make Customers Aware They’re On Camera the Moment They Enter
With shoplifting on the rise, retailers need strong deterrents that make every customer aware they are being recorded. Our shop entrance CCTV display screens, also known as Public View Monitors (PVMs) – do exactly that.
Positioned at the entrance, these monitors display live footage from your CCTV cameras, showing customers a real-time image of themselves as they walk into your store. This instant reminder that CCTV is active and recording acts as a powerful deterrent against theft and anti-social behaviour.
Why Use a CCTV Display Screen at Your Entrance?
Watch our demonstration video to see how the entrance CCTV display screen works, including the AI face detection and Hik Central central management platform.
To reinforce the message, the text displayed at the bottom of the screen is fully customisable, for example, you may want it to read CCTV in Operation – Shoplifters Will Be Prosecuted or carry your own branded security warning.
Advanced AI & Recording Features
Our Public View Monitors go beyond simple CCTV displays – they combine live video deterrence with intelligent AI-powered recording. Designed for reliability and clarity, each system uses a discreet IP camera that automatically detects and highlights faces, ensuring every visitor is clearly captured as they enter. High frame rate recording guarantees smooth, detailed footage even during busy periods, while flexible setup options make integration effortless.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing monitor or installing a new one, these advanced features provide the visibility, control, and evidence quality that modern retailers need to protect their stores and staff.
Unlike traditional entrance monitors, our system is powered by a discreet IP camera with smart AI technology:
Face detection with red box highlighting
Every customer is visibly tracked as they walk in.
High frame rate recording
Captures clear images even if someone enters quickly; footage can be slowed down to show precise facial detail.
Retrofit capability
The small camera can easily be installed onto an existing monitor, meaning shops don’t need to replace their current screen.
Flexible recording options
As an IP camera, it can be connected to an existing recorder for 24/7 coverage, or use its own memory slot with a microSD card for standalone recording.
