Hanwha Vision AI Video Security Solutions for Luxury Retail

Elevating Trust Through Optimized AI Video Security

In luxury retail, every detail matters – from the entrance and product displays to the reliability of security solutions. The store's atmosphere is crucial for conveying the brand's premium lifestyle identity and unique shopping experience.

Designing security solutions requires more than just focusing on 'security'; aesthetic elements are equally vital. Overt security measures like visible cameras or uniformed guards, while effective against theft, can negatively impact sales. Research indicates that over 70% of luxury shoppers perceive excessive security negatively, interpreting it as a sign of distrust. Approximately 50% of these shoppers would leave for another store if they experienced such an environment. Luxury brands cannot afford to compromise their aesthetic appeal for overt security.

Hanwha Vision's technology is trusted by many renowned luxury brands to protect their products, staff, and customers. Our AI security cameras, IP audio solutions, and Wisenet VMS (Video Management System) enhance store safety and effectively reduce product loss risks. These solutions also provide valuable tools for various departments, including Human Resources, IT, Marketing, and Operations.

Managing Diverse Threats

Luxury brands, dealing with high-value, easily resold goods, face significant internal and external threats.

• Internal Threats: Include dishonest employees stealing merchandise, attempting credit card fraud, or offering unauthorized discounts and free products to acquaintances or family.
• External Threats: Encompass not only one-off crimes like robbery but also more sophisticated organized retail crime. This often involves multiple individuals creating distractions while high-value items are stolen, or purchases made using fake IDs or stolen credit cards.

In this complex threat landscape, Hanwha Vision's QND-8011 mini dome camera and AI-based QNF-9010 fisheye camera offer balanced solutions that meet security needs while respecting store aesthetics. Both models feature compact designs and deliver exceptional image quality, allowing for easy installation, such as ceiling-recessed or discreet placement.

QND-8011 Mini Dome Camera

The QND-8011 model provides clear 5MP resolution video, making it ideal for monitoring confined areas like counters or display cases.

QNF-C9010 Fisheye Camera

The QNF-C9010 fisheye camera offers a 360° field of view and 5MP resolution, enabling comprehensive monitoring of the entire store without blind spots. Its license-free analytics can detect suspicious activities in real-time and alert security personnel to potential threats. It also provides operational insights into customer flow, peak shopping times, and congested areas.

By integrating these cameras with Hanwha Vision's cloud services, IP audio solutions, and Wisenet VMS, luxury brands can establish a robust security framework that covers all areas.

Access Control for Restricted Areas

Restricting access to sensitive areas containing high-value inventory or critical IP information is essential. For luxury retail stores, the preferred model for securing back-office spaces like stockrooms is Hanwha Vision's TNV-C8011RW wall-mount camera.

This camera provides eye-level footage, capturing details that might be missed by standard ceiling-mounted cameras. It features AI analytics and IR capabilities. Its 180-degree panoramic lens, combined with 5MP high-resolution imaging, captures detailed information for object identification.

Entrances and Parking

Many luxury stores are situated in prestigious locations such as New York's Fifth Avenue, London's Bond Street, or California's Rodeo Drive. Consequently, the responsibility for securing parking areas and main entrances typically falls on the store operators or the brand itself.

For luxury brands operating their own stores, Hanwha Vision's AI mini multi-directional camera, the PNM-C16013RVQ model, presents an excellent option.

Hanwha Vision offers a variety of solutions for large parking lots, including cameras equipped with AI-based License Plate Recognition (LPR) and Q Series fixed cameras. Q Series fixed cameras excel at capturing high-quality images from a distance with a narrow field of view (FOV), making them highly suitable for outdoor security applications like monitoring building perimeters.

Enhancing Operational Efficiency with Key Insights

Hanwha Vision's diverse AI cameras and open platform approach extend beyond security enhancement to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. AI cameras serve as valuable solutions for enhancing store operations and customer experiences across various industries, including retail.

• Understanding Customer Preferences: Marketing teams leverage video analytics to optimize store layouts and promotion strategies. Video data provides valuable insights into the overall consumer experience. Hanwha Vision's intelligent AI cameras, when integrated with other business intelligence tools, complement data-driven insights and lead to more accurate business metrics.
• Resolving Workplace Issues: AI video analysis assists in determining optimal staffing for maintaining excellent customer service. High-resolution video and integrated audio capabilities help HR professionals accurately reconstruct workplace incidents and make fair, fact-based judgments. This is particularly critical in luxury retail environments that serve VIP customers or public figures, where accuracy and reliability in analysis are key to balancing talent retention and customer satisfaction.
• Mitigating Risks and Streamlining Compliance Reporting: Operations and legal teams can use AI camera footage and data to proactively identify and mitigate risks. They can also monitor compliance with regulations related to accessibility, hygiene, and workplace safety. This helps reduce the risk of litigation from violations and simplifies internal audits and regulatory reporting.
• Reducing Bandwidth Costs: Hanwha Vision's edge AI cameras, capable of processing data directly on the device, offer significant bandwidth and storage cost savings for IT and data management teams. Furthermore, Hanwha Vision's WiseStream III video compression technology significantly reduces data size while maintaining video quality, thereby improving operational efficiency.
