The price of fuel and labor make security for filling stations and convenience stores a constant challenge. Arecont Vision understands the unique needs of the petrol/c-store market and provides megapixel technology to specifically meet those needs.
Filling Stations
Gasoline price volatility traditionally leads to a significant increase in gasoline theft, brought on by misdirected consumer anger at higher prices. However, more retailers now require prepay to stop the problem that had gotten out of control. Typically, convenience stores can experience a few gasoline thefts a week; however, when prices increase, some stores see several gas thefts a day. With retailers only making a penny or two profit on the sale of gasoline, a retailer needs to sell thousands of additional gallons of gasoline just to make up for the loss. Oftentimes, it only takes one $50 theft a day to significantly erode -- or wipe out -- a retailer's daily gasoline profits.

- Employee theft and shoplifting remain the big two drivers of shrink with 42.7% of shrink coming from employee theft and 35.6% from shoplifting.
