New Tools In Employee Theft Investigation – Atlanta

Conducting an employee theft investigation is a complicated undertaking best left to professionals. However, in the past several years a new CCTV tool has not only become available but the cost is now very reasonable. This tool is the link between a retailers CCTV system and their POS.

Employee theft at the POS was always time intensive. You had to match up the detail tape to the CCTV recording of the cashier at the POS. Time stamps on both systems never matched up and even when they did it was very difficult to keep going back and forth between the two.

Now imagine this, you are conducting an employee theft investigation of a cashier. But now the POS terminal data show up on the same screen with the video of the cashier and customer.

Now we see in perfectly synchronized clarity both together. As the cashier is ringing up a pack of gum but actually bagging up DVD’s we see it as clear as day. That type of employee theft is as old as theft itself. But now there is no question at all what happened.

The cool thing about this new technology is that many new DVR’s have this great corporate fraud investigation tool built in. A simple connection is made from the POS terminal to the DVR, usually a CAT 5 cable. There is normally a little programming at the DVR as there are so many different POS systems out there that it simply needs a little adjustment.

Employee theft at the POS is now exposed quickly and easily. The best part is that the system is running 24/7. So when you catch onto an employee theft scheme and begin your investigation it is easy to go back and do research. This is another good argument for adequate drive storage on your DVR.
