Retail environments have distinct coverage priorities compared to warehouses or offices. Use this checklist as a starting point when evaluating your store's CCTV coverage.
Entrances & Exits
- Clear coverage of everyone entering and leaving the store
- Camera angle that captures faces, not just the tops of heads
Sales Floor
- Coverage of high-value displays and frequently targeted merchandise
- Minimal blind spots created by fixtures, shelving or signage
Point-of-Sale Areas
- Camera coverage of registers and cash handling
- Positioning that supports incident review without obstructing staff workflow
Stock Rooms & Receiving
- Coverage of back-of-house inventory storage
- Coverage of receiving doors where deliveries are processed
Staff-Only Areas
- Access control on doors leading to stock rooms, offices or cash areas
- Camera coverage paired with access-control logs for accountability
Multi-Store Considerations
- Whether centralized, multi-store viewing is needed, depending on the platform selected
- Consistent camera and NVR configuration across locations for easier management
