Integrated Security for Multi-Site Retail

Shrinkage, slip-and-fall claims and occupancy limits—retailers juggle all three while keeping stores welcoming. An IP camera that only records is no longer enough; today’s store needs a sensor that counts, compares and alerts. Below Gcraftsantech, a 20-engineer OEM factory in Guangzhou, shows how our 4K analytics camera platform gives franchise chains “one pane of glass” across 60+ locations.

Our NVR-Next CMS supports ONVIF and HTTP-API, so existing Hik/Dahua/Axis cameras stay online while new Gcraftsantech 4K units roll in. No forklift, no licence rip-off.

2.People-Counting + POS Overlay
