Retail CCTV & Security System Installation Perth
Loss-prevention CCTV, alarms and access control for Perth retail stores
Retail security is a specific problem: high-traffic entry, cash-handling points, storerooms and staff-only areas that all need different coverage. We install retail CCTV, alarm and access-control systems across Perth for boutique clothing, hospitality, jewellery, liquor, pharmacy, hardware and general-merchandise stores - from Nedlands and Claremont through to Joondalup and Mandurah. Every retail install is built around real loss-prevention outcomes, not just camera count.
Retail Security Challenges We Solve
Point-of-sale coverage
Every cash register and tap-to-pay terminal needs a dedicated camera angle that captures both the transaction and the customer's face. We install high-resolution ColorVu or 4K cameras above each POS station, with recorded footage aligned to your POS transaction log so any till discrepancy can be reviewed in seconds.
Storeroom and back-of-house
Stock-loss almost always happens where cameras aren't looking. Storerooms, receiving bays and staff-only entries need coverage that captures who came in, what they carried and when. We combine cameras with access control on staff doors so entries are logged by name.
Shopfront and entry
Wide-angle cameras on the shopfront capture every person entering and leaving, and an audible entry alert doubles as a mild deterrent. Number-plate cameras on the carpark entrance (for larger stores) give police useful evidence within minutes of an incident.
After-hours protection
Monitored alarm systems, glass-break sensors on the shopfront, and IR beam sensors on side and rear entries protect the site outside trading hours. Alarm activation triggers CCTV to preserve pre-event footage and can dispatch security response via optional back-to-base monitoring.

Retail Security FAQ
Do you install CCTV in leased retail premises?
Yes - most of the retail work we do in Perth is in leased premises. We work with your landlord's fit-out rules and can install in a way that removes cleanly at end of lease if required.
Can staff hours be tracked through the access control system?
Yes. Every staff entry through an access-controlled door is timestamped by user, so you have an accurate log of first-in / last-out that also serves as a rough attendance record.
How long is footage retained?
Standard retail install retains 30 days of continuous 24/7 recording. This can be extended to 60 or 90 days with additional NVR storage - we spec the drive size against your operating hours and camera count.
