Turn the cameras you already own into a retail control system

Dynaimers connects your existing CCTV to your POS and ERP. Every basket, shelf, freezer and stock movement is checked automatically, and every exception arrives with the clip, the receipt and the person responsible for acting on it.

What we offer

Six control areas on one vision platform

Start with the one that hurts most. Each new control is a new rule on the same cameras, so nothing is thrown away as you grow.

Customer and footfall

Know who comes in, where they go and why they leave.

  • Footfall to conversion
  • Queues and wait times
  • Heatmaps and dwell

Loss prevention and billing

Catch leakage at the counter, the fitting room and the back door.

  • Basket-to-bill matching
  • Voids, refunds, no-sales
  • Hot zones and watchlists

Store operations and safety

Run every store like your best store, with evidence for audits.

  • Hygiene, PPE and SOPs
  • Doors, spills and hazards
  • Staff coverage

Merchandising and shelf

Turn the camera into a shelf and display auditor.

  • Out-of-stock and gaps
  • Planogram and promo checks
  • Branded cooler purity

Inventory and supply chain

Make book stock match what is really on the shelf and the truck.

  • Stock vs POS stock-out
  • Receiving vs goods receipt
  • Dispatch counts

Product quality

Every pack checked on the line, every defect photographed.

  • Faulty pack detection
  • Date and batch codes
  • Fresh display quality

How it works

From camera frame to action, in five steps

  1. 1

    Connect

    Existing cameras over RTSP or ONVIF, plus your POS and ERP feeds.

  2. 2

    Detect

    The vision engine counts items, people, doors, gaps and defects.

  3. 3

    Match

    What the camera saw is checked against what the system recorded.

  4. 4

    Alert

    Each exception goes to the right role with the clip or photo attached.

  5. 5

    Act and learn

    One-click review; every decision tunes the rules and the reports.

Business value

Estimate your counter leakage

Small gaps per basket add up across a chain. Enter your own figures in any currency; the example below uses illustrative inputs.

Beyond ROI

How each part of the business gains

Finance

Leaking revenue gets booked. Shrinkage is explained by cause, and book stock moves closer to reality.

Operations

Fewer full stock counts, faster investigations and fewer empty shelves from stock that existed only on paper.

Loss prevention

Exceptions arrive ranked by risk, with the evidence attached, instead of hours of footage to scrub.

People

Honest staff are protected by evidence, not suspicion. Knowing every basket is checked also deters leakage.

Customers

Correct bills, shorter queues and products on the shelf when the system says they are there.

Leadership

One view of leakage, stock accuracy and compliance across every store, to compare and act early.

Privacy and compliance

Configured to the data-protection law where you trade

We scope the local rules during discovery and configure them before go-live. Typical frameworks we design for:

GDPR (EU and UK)UAE PDPLSaudi PDPLSingapore PDPAIndia DPDP Act 2023Malaysia PDPAAustralia Privacy Act

No faces for billing control

Basket-to-bill matching counts items and hands. It identifies no one.

Biometrics only by choice

Watchlists run only after an impact assessment, keeping templates and discarding raw images.

Data stays in-country

On-premise or in-region cloud, with role-based access and a log of every view.

Clear notices

Signage at entrances and a stated purpose for every camera and rule.

Short retention

Clips are deleted automatically after a set period unless under review.

People counted, not tracked

Footfall and occupancy use anonymous counts by default.

How we engage

A working prototype before a promise

Week 1

Discover

We walk your stores, review camera angles, POS and ERP, and rank the controls by value.

Weeks 2–3

Prototype

A clickable prototype of your dashboards and alerts, with a costed plan.

Weeks 4–9

Pilot

One store, a few counters, measured against today’s results.

Then

Scale

Roll out store by store, add controls on the same cameras, and stay with you after go-live.

FAQ

Questions retailers ask us

Do we need new cameras?

Usually not. Most controls run on existing IP cameras over RTSP or ONVIF. Where an angle does not work, such as directly over a counter or a packing line, we recommend one extra camera for that point.

Which POS and ERP systems do you connect to?

Any system that can share its transaction log by API or export. We are Microsoft Dynamics 365 specialists, so Dynamics 365 Commerce, Supply Chain and Business Central connect out of the box.

Is this facial recognition?

Not by default. Billing, stock and safety controls count items, people and events without identifying anyone. Watchlists are an optional module, enabled only where the law allows and after an impact assessment.

How do you keep false alarms low?

Thresholds are tuned with your team during the pilot, low-confidence events go to a person to confirm, and every confirmation improves the model.

How long does a pilot take?

A typical pilot runs four to six weeks in one store after a short discovery, and ends with measured results for your stores.

Where is the video stored?

On your premises or in a cloud region in your country, as your policy and local law require. Access is role-based and every view is logged.
