Running a kirana store, medical shop, boutique or electronics outlet? You don't need an enterprise system to protect your shop — you need the right 2–4 cameras placed intelligently. This guide shows small business owners how to get effective coverage without overspending.
The essentials: one camera covering the billing counter and cash drawer, one on the entrance/exit, and one or two covering aisles or high-value stock. A 4-channel DVR with a 1TB hard drive gives you weeks of footage and mobile viewing so you can keep an eye on your shop even when you step out.
Camera Placement That Stops Shop Theft
Point a camera at the billing counter so every transaction and cash handover is recorded — this alone deters most pilferage. Cover the entrance at face height for clear identification, and avoid pointing cameras directly at bright windows (backlight hides faces). Add a visible 'CCTV in operation' sign; visible deterrence prevents theft before it happens. SecureVision builds affordable shop packages with genuine Hikvision and CP Plus cameras and installation guidance.
