Integrated POS surveillance system comprises several components mainly including point-of-sales, cameras and
digital video recorders which are capable of recording transaction data. It provides retail managers and shop or
company owner with a complete picture of trade activity and also enables emphasizing of suspected or
questionable event such as “Sweet hearting discounts” and flagged transactions including “Voids”, “No
Sales”and reducing the time spent on reviewing recorded video. With security being the top of mind for
retailers, text overlay of transaction data onto POS surveillance video is quickly becoming the application of
choice for fraud-conscious merchants.
TRADITIONAL SECURITY MONITORING VS. POS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
WHO CAN BE BENEFIT FROM POS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM?
Small family-owned stores to retail chain-stores rely on POS Surveillance System as added security to help
reduce the potential for damage, theft and fraud. The use of POS Surveillance can also aid in tracking cash
transaction to capture fraudulent activities, not only video image but also transaction data, that occur
frequently in the retail environment.
• Reduction of losses at shopping centers:incontrovertible proofs of trade violation (false discount cards,
misappropriation of profit, fictitious return of products, imposition of clients, etc.)
• Enhanced quality of services: managers possess full information on personnel’s actions, which greatly
improves labor discipline. Network features of the system allow to receive information in minutes, even not
leaving office
• Registration of all purchases with indication of date, attachment of video record of both salesman and client
• Centralized control of POS network over a trade outlet operations from any point of the world via Central
Management System
• Operative real-time management
• Powerful analysis toolset: basic and extended requests, search of specified events.
Introduction
Traditional (CCTV) Security Monitoring POS Surveillance System
On Point-of-sale side:
- Find out the suspicious transactions
- Get the time of targeted transaction
On surveillance system side:
- Search the video by the time
- Check the recorded video with transaction data
On surveillance system side:
- Find out the suspicious transactions with the time
- Check the recorded video with transaction data
- Remote accessibility via Internet
Benefits
• Data synchronization: every sales check’s text information applies to video image
• Video Text Overlay: Transaction text message can be displayed on screen and on the video files. You may also
choose to hide the data from the screen view.
• Exception text:you can predefined 16 set exception event text. For example, all the transactions containing
the keyword “VOID” will be marked.
• Quick search: you can search the data by product name, price and by channel. Besides, you can also use the
combination of words on the search function.
• Remote control: Remote playback and text overlay allow you to know about your business even you are
thousands of miles far from your store.
A POS surveillance system is mainly composed of the devices listed as follows:
- Dome/Fixed Camera
- DVR
- POS/Cash Register
- Receipt Printer/Pole Display (optional)
- Data Converter (optional)
An illustration of POS surveillance system wiring will be shown in the later section: System Connectivity (with
RS232 DB9 Y-cable).
Pole displays/printers that follow the protocols such as EPSON (ESC/POS), PaernerTech, UTC,AEDEX etc. should
work fine. For details of various models support, refer to Appendix C: List of Supported Models.
***Data Converter
The Data Converter is for text data collecting and transmitting to a single DVR in a POS surveillance system
with more than one cash register, especially in the system of large scale such as hypermarkets.

TEXT OVERLAY
You can decide to see text overlay in LIVE mode, PB
mode or both.
• Available options - OFF, Only Live, Only PB, Live/PB
• Max lines displayed on OSD : 15 lines
• 42 bytes per line
• Text will be blanked out if no more data input in 8
seconds.
• Line compress feature - When data length in one line
exceeds the limit, the DVR will try to eliminate some
continuous space to fit the line length limitation.
Thus the text format on screen might differ slightly
from print-out.
• Supports only English & West European characters
so far.
• Text Overlay only displays in full screen mode.
• PB overlay is only available when PB speed is 1x
forward.
NOTE:
Remote Live— Text Overlay must be active for LIVE;
Remote PB— Text Overlay must be active for PB.
Furthermore, when seeing in Remote LIVE and Remote
PB, it is possible to lose text data in low bandwidth
network. We recommend using Remote Archive
function to archive complete video and use “Local
Playback of DVR Remote”, “DVR Player” & CMS to
playback DRV file.
