The challenge
- 01
Cages in front of the exit
"The fire exit at the back of the stock room is where we put the cages."
- 02
Every store is different
Area managers cannot compare stores when every store reports safety its own way.
- 03
The cash office
Who went into the cash office, and when, is only known after a loss.
A typical event, handled
The camera catches it, the zone rule decides, the owner is told in seconds, and the event closes when the camera sees it cleared.

What COM8 Vision watches in Retail
- Emergency ReadinessEmergency exits, escape routes, assembly points and the kit people reach for in an emergency, kept clear and timed when they are not.
- SecurityCameras that go offline or get tampered with, and people in rooms like the cash office, raised to the right person.
- Housekeeping & HygieneWalkways kept clear of material that arrives and stays, and the crossings between dirty and clean areas watched.
- Occupancy & CrowdingRooms and areas kept under the number of people they are safe for, counted from the people the cameras track.

The pilot
Live on your own cameras in about three weeks
A paid four-week pilot on about ten cameras, judged on one number your team already cares about: how long the emergency exits stay blocked.
- 01
Day one
Discovery call
A 45-minute call to pick the cameras that matter: exits, vehicle routes, panels and PPE areas, and who owns each one.
- 02
Week 1
IT request
Your IT team creates a read-only account on the recorder and gives the edge box one switch port. No port forwarding, no inbound connections, no recording changes.
- 03
Week 1
Install
Half a day on site. The box is online about ten seconds after the installer runs, and ten cameras take about ten minutes to add.
- 04
Week 1
Zone workshop
Two hours with your HSE lead to draw 10 to 20 zones, each with a named owner. You can redraw them yourself afterwards.
- 05
Weeks 1–2
Shadow mode
Two weeks of events with no alerts, so the zones and thresholds are tuned on your site before anyone gets a notification.
- 06
Week 4
Review
Alerts go live for exactly two concerns, then a one-hour review of blocked minutes, near misses and the scorecards, worst first.
Put your industry pack on your cameras
A four-week pilot on about ten of your existing cameras, with zones drawn and owned by your own team.
Frequently asked questions
No. A pack is a starting point, not a licence boundary. Every concern in the catalogue stays available, nothing is charged per concern, and the score formula is the same in every pack.
It tracks people to check zones and capacity, such as an area over its safe limit. It does not identify anyone.
Yes. An area manager can be given access to several sites and see them side by side.
