Retail shop security that acts during the theft, not after it

A retail shop security system is only worth its cost if it does something while the theft is happening. PGAK adds real-time intelligence to your existing shop CCTV cameras — flagging unusual dwell time at high-value shelves, movement behind the till, and any entry after closing — so the shopkeeper gets a nudge in the moment rather than a video to mourn over later.

Sound familiar?

You watch the footage after stock goes missing and learn nothing you can act on.
The counter is unattended for thirty seconds at a time, all day.
Alerts from the old system fire so often that the app notification is muted.
You run three branches and can only be in one of them.

Catching the behaviour, not just the person

Shop theft has a shape: someone stands at a shelf far longer than a browsing customer, checks sightlines, and moves. That is a pattern software can watch for continuously and a busy shopkeeper cannot.

Dwell-time alerts on high-value shelves

Set a zone around the expensive stock. Anyone lingering past the threshold raises a discreet alert on the owner's phone.

Till and counter protection

Movement behind the counter by an unrecognised person is flagged immediately, day or night.

After-hours entry

Once the shutter is down, any person detected inside is an instant escalation with a clip and optional siren.

Repeat-visitor recognition

The same unknown face returning across multiple days near the same shelf is a signal worth surfacing.

Staff accountability without micromanagement

Face-based attendance logs when staff arrived and left, and till-area recognition distinguishes staff from customers. Most owners use it as a quiet baseline rather than a surveillance tool — the value is that discrepancies become visible without anyone having to accuse anybody.

Several shops, one phone

Every branch reports into one app. You see which store raised what alert, so being physically present in one shop no longer means being blind to the other two.

It works on the cameras already on your wall

Most shops have four to sixteen cameras on a DVR that was installed years ago. That is enough. PGAK connects over the existing stream — no new cabling, no shutting the shop for an installation day.

retail shop security system — common questions

Will this work on my shop's existing CCTV?

Almost certainly. If your DVR shows footage on a phone app today, it exposes the stream PGAK needs. We confirm compatibility during the free camera audit before anything is purchased.

Can it actually stop shoplifting, or only record it?

It alerts in real time, which is what makes intervention possible — a staff member walking over is the single most effective deterrent there is. It also supports an audible chime or announcement on high-value zone alerts.

Won't it alert constantly in a busy shop?

Not once tuned. Alerts are tied to specific zones, dwell thresholds and times rather than to general movement, so a crowded aisle at 6pm doesn't generate anything.

I have three branches. Do I need three systems?

No. Each shop runs locally but reports into a single account, so you get one app showing all branches with per-branch alerting.
