Store Monitoring

Watch the Floor as It Happens — Live, AI Marks, Playback

Posivex monitoring is the work after the cameras are already aimed: a live grid of the register, door, aisle, and stock room; person marks so you skip empty video; and a clip when someone who is not staff shows up after hours. You and your managers watch. We do not sell this page as a 24/7 guarded operations center.

See What You Watch
  • Live multi-camera desk
  • AI-assisted person marks
  • Unknown-person & after-hours review

The same counter you ring sales on is the first tile you watch

A till discrepancy, a refund, or a missing case of product is a picture problem as much as a books problem. Monitoring means the register, the customer side of the counter, the front door, and the stock room are already on one screen when you need to see who was there — not a week later when the story has changed.

Posivex already runs the checkout. Monitoring keeps that counter, the entry, and the back room in a live grid you can open from the desk or a tablet login you approve. Footage writes on site. Internet is only for remote view.

  • POS, till, and refund desk in the same live tile when the layout allows
  • Unknown person at the door or stock room — live now, clip later
  • Person marks so you jump to a body in frame, not an empty aisle

Owners who need to watch the shop — not a city-wide camera network

Coverage is planned for the same retailers, restaurants, and offices already on Posivex POS. We do not invent warehouse campuses here.

01

Retail

Watch the door, the cash wrap, the aisles, and the stock room. The usual reason to open the grid is a void, missing stock, or someone in the back who is not on the roster.

02

Restaurants

Entrance, dining room, POS, and the back door or prep area you actually play back. Kitchen tiles are added only when you ask — heat and grease change what that camera can show after dark.

03

Offices

Reception, hallway, and the room that holds cash or devices. We do not put cameras in restrooms or private offices unless you have a written policy and a lawful reason.

Six things you do on the screens — not a ladder, not a cable pull

This page is the watch-and-review job. Hardware still records on an NVR you own. The work we describe here is live view, marks, and clips.

01

Live multi-camera desk

Register, door, aisle, and stock on an ordinary office monitor. You glance during a rush or sit with the grid when something already feels wrong.

02

AI-assisted person marks

The recorder can box a person in the aisle so you skip empty hours. That is detection on the NVR — not a branded “AI agent,” and not a face name on the tile.

03

Unknown-person review

Someone at the back door after close, or in the stock room who is not staff, is a clip you pull and compare. You decide who that person is. The system does not invent a name.

04

After-hours door events

A closed store with a body in frame is the event you jump to. Useful for opening checks, lock-ups, and anyone lingering at a receiving door when the floor is dark.

05

Phone & tablet live view

The same grid on a login you approve. Remote view needs internet. Recording does not. We do not publish this as a public stream.

06

Playback and export

Pick a camera and a time, play the clip, export a file for a dispute or an insurer. That happens on the NVR or in the same app used for live view.

Three monitoring views stored on this page

Three different rooms: a daylight manager desk, a laptop on a break table, and an after-hours receiving door on a modern monitor. They are not install shots and not named customer jobs.

Live multi-camera desk

One ordinary office monitor, four rooms. This is the default watch: aisle, door, stock, checkout. You sit with it when the floor is busy or when you already know you need a picture.

AI person mark

A simple box around a body in the aisle. The point is to land on a person, not to sell a sci-fi overlay. Empty motion (a fan, a curtain) is why we still have a human review the clip.

Unknown person after hours

A figure at a closed receiving door is the kind of clip owners ask for. You watch live if someone is on the desk; you pull playback if not. We do not claim we identified that person.

The rooms that earn a tile on the grid

We do not watch hallways at random. A short walk-through decides which rooms you actually open during the day and which ones you only play back. Most single-location shops start with the five below.

  1. Front door and waiting area Who entered, bags, and the first steps inside. After-hours door events and opening or closing checks start here.
  2. POS / cash wrap Register, card terminal, and the customer side of the counter. The tile you open for voids, refunds, and till questions.
  3. Sales floor or dining room Aisles, tables, and staff movement. Person marks help you skip empty hours when you are hunting one walk-through.
  4. Stock room and back door Receiving, waste, and the employee exit. Unknown people and after-hours access usually show up on this tile first.
  5. Exterior or parking, if you have it Lot or alley after dark. Only watched when the property has an outdoor area worth a live tile.

How footage is stored — and how you get back to a person

Local recording is still the product. Cloud storage is not assumed. We do not quote a retention number until camera count and drive size are set.

01

Continuous or motion

The NVR can write all day, or only when it sees movement or a person. Continuous uses more disk. Motion saves space and can miss a slow event if the sensitivity is wrong. We set this with you on handoff.

02

Drive size sets retention

More cameras and higher resolution fill a disk faster. A 14-day or 30-day target is a sizing job, not a software toggle. When the drive is full, the oldest video is overwritten.

03

Jump to the mark, then export

Person or motion marks are how you find the unknown visitor without dragging a 12-hour timeline. Export is still a file you save for a dispute or an insurer.

What the AI mark is allowed to do

A modern recorder can tell “a person walked the aisle” from “the aisle was empty.” That saves the owner from watching hours of nothing. It does not name the person, score a threat, or replace a manager looking at the clip.

  • Person or motion marks on the timeline
  • After-hours body-in-frame as an event you can open
  • No invented detection percentage on this page

What a person still has to decide

Unknown person, staff, delivery, or someone lost — that call is yours. The desk or the tablet shows the door and the face as the camera saw it. We do not run a watch list or a “spy” identification product on this page.

  • You compare the clip to who should be on site
  • Accounts are limited to people you approve
  • Internet is for remote view, not for recording

A box around a person is how you skip the empty aisle

When the recorder marks a body in the frame, you land on a walk-through instead of a still shelf. That is the useful part of “monitoring with AI” on a shop floor. A fan, a hanging sign, or a shadow can still trip motion — so a person still opens the clip.

  • Person mark on the live aisle or the timeline
  • No branded face-ID claim on this page
  • You still decide if the walk-through matters

After hours, an unfamiliar body at the door is the clip you pull

A hooded visitor at a closed receiving door is not a movie villain — it is a picture you either watch live or find on playback. Monitoring here means that tile is already recording, the event is marked if person detection is on, and you can export the file. We do not staff a night desk unless you buy that as a separate service.

  • After-hours door and stock-room tiles first
  • Live if someone is on the desk; playback if not
  • Clip export for a dispute — no invented identity

What the shop needs so monitoring is actually usable

Cameras do not replace a lock, a safe, or staff training. They give you a picture of the counter, the door, and the stock room while you are off the floor — or after something already happened.

  1. A place to watch A back-office desk, or the phone you will actually carry. A dedicated monitor is optional. Most owners live in the app.
  2. Who is allowed to watch Owner plus any manager you name. We do not create staff logins unless you ask. Remote view is not a public link.
  3. Which events you care about Till questions, after-hours doors, unknown people in stock, opening and closing. Those choices set person/motion marks — not a generic “AI pack.”
  4. A recorder that keeps writing On-site NVR and a drive sized for the days you need. Internet down should not stop recording; it only stops the phone view.

From “what do you need to see?” to a desk that can prove it

No camera count is promised before we see the rooms. The watch list comes first. The quote follows that list.

  1. 01

    What you need to prove

    You tell us the picture you keep losing: a till issue, a missing case, an after-hours door, someone in stock who is not on the roster.

  2. 02

    Watch map

    Which rooms get a live tile, which ones are playback-only, and who holds an account. Channel count and drive size come from that map.

  3. 03

    Live grid

    The desk or tablet shows the rooms you named. We confirm every tile is the room you think it is before we call the watch ready.

  4. 04

    Marks & remote

    Person or motion marks go on if you want event jumps. We add your logins and open live view on the phone you will carry.

  5. 05

    Handoff

    You learn how to jump to a mark, export a clip, and who to call if a tile goes dark. Support stays with the same Posivex team that handles your POS.

Watch the floor the way a manager watches it

A full-width walkthrough of monitoring work: live desk grid, person mark, after-hours door, phone view, and playback. It is a product demo on this site — not a live customer store, and not an animated character clip.

The five photos stored on this site

Daytime office grid, laptop person-mark, after-hours receiving door, phone view from a car, and a wall monitor of till plus door. Five different rooms and people — not one repeated desk. Tap one to open the viewer.

Questions owners ask before they rely on the watch

Is this a 24/7 staffed monitoring center?

No. Posivex monitoring on this page is the live view, event marks, and playback you and your managers use. We do not staff a guard desk watching every store all night unless that is scoped as a separate service.

What does “AI monitoring” mean here?

The recorder can mark a person in the frame so you jump to a real event instead of scrubbing empty aisles. That is person or motion detection on the NVR — not a named face-ID product, and not a promised accuracy rate.

Can this flag an unknown person — someone who is not staff?

Yes, as a review job. After hours, a person at a closed door is an event you can open. On the floor, you compare the clip to who should be there. We do not claim a secret “spy database” or automatic name on the screen.

Do I need internet for the cameras to record?

No. A wired NVR records on the local hard drive if the WAN is down. Internet is only for remote phone or tablet view and for some app notifications.

How long is video kept?

Retention is camera count × resolution × hours per day × hard-drive size. If you need about 14 or 30 days, we size the drive for it. We do not invent a number after the system is already writing.

Can staff see every camera?

Only if you give them an account. Most owners keep live view for themselves and one manager. Extra logins are added only when you ask.

Will this connect to my Posivex POS?

The cameras cover the same physical counter as the POS. They do not replace the POS software. If you already run Posivex at the register, one live tile should include that station so a refund or void has a matching picture.

Do you name camera brands or promise a camera count on this page?

No. The photos show monitoring work: a daylight office grid, a laptop person-mark, a back-room night door, a phone view from a car, and a wall monitor of till plus door. Channel count and drive size come after we see the rooms you need to watch.
