All the Retail-Specific Security Features You Need

AI-Based Video Analytics

Smart cameras detect and analyze suspicious behaviour, track patterns, and send alerts before theft can happen. Advanced AI technologies keep false alarms to a minimum and lower unnecessary expenses.

Anti-Theft Alerts and Exit Alarms

Using Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), a retail anti-theft technology, we can stop theft in real time, triggering the siren and notifying the staff about potential danger. 

Mobile Alerts and Remote Control

Receive instant alerts to take immediate action by locking doors, activating sirens or lights, and informing the authorities.

Security Fog System

Integrated fogging devices will fill the room with thick, non-toxic smoke. The intruder will not be able to see anything, even up close, but will not suffer any health damage.

Motion Detectors

Our systems are equipped with microwave sensors and PIR sensors that measure infrared (IR) light radiating from objects. You get accurate motion detection, avoiding theft or after-hours intrusions.   

Detailed Event Log

Keep a digital record of everything security-related – exact time of doors opening, alarms and sensors being triggered, as well as all the user activities.

Automated Arming

Reduce human error with a system that can turn on and off automatically, arming and disarming based on a schedule or when specific employees arrive.

Heat/Smoke/CO Sensors

Comprehensive fire safety solutions with a low risk of false alarms. Analyzing CO levels, temperature, and smoke patterns, the detector activates alarms in case of real fire danger.

One Solution for All the Retail Crime Risks

Reduce losses with a retail security system that prevents shoplifting, not letting your customers walk out without paying. The systems we offer are user-friendly, with minimal need for staff training.

We had decided to have our alarm and cctv cameras installed by TSNG through a referral from the police officer after our house was invaded. Grim and his crew were super knowledgeable, efficient and very clean and respectful to our property. They made sure that we were comfortable with our new system and made us feel very secure about this wonderful security system. After the installation Grim stated that we could call him with any questions or concerns. The after sale service has been nothing short of a first class organization that consistently returns all my calls and are always willing to help correct any problems large or small. I have since passed on two referrals who have had security and cctv cameras installed and are completely satisfied with Grim and his group. I would highly recommend them and can honestly rate TNSG a 5 star company who truly cares about top notch customer service. Thank you Grim and TNSG for making us feel safe and secure once again.

Regards,
EJ

Highly recommend True North Security Group. I didn’t realize the equipment the guy I’ve been dealing with for years was outdated and Grim got me set up with the latest technology and showed me how to use the app more thoroughly than the other person I’d been using. Great communication and installation was seamless.

We hired TNSG to set up CCTV and access control for our facility, and they did a solid job. The planning phase was straightforward—they worked with us to figure out what we needed, including recommendations to improve our original requirements by implementing things like 180 cameras, and kept things on track. The install happened when they said it would, no delays.

The hardware they used is very good quality, and the camera footage is clear day and night, which is exactly what we wanted. Their tech team knew what they were doing—handled the height work well (having certification for working at heights and all related insurances in place helped our comfort level in terms of liability on site) and sorted out the network setup without any issues. They even spotted a connectivity problem we’d been dealing with elsewhere in the building and fixed it on the spot, which wasn’t part of the deal but saved us a headache.

They’re easy to work with and took the project seriously, like they had a stake in it. The crew was skilled, and it felt like they actually cared about getting it right. We’d use them again.

If it weren’t for TNSG, we’d be dealing with a frustrating mess this morning (a broken window and stolen goods at minimum). Early this morning, we had an attempted vehicle break-in but fortunately the thief was scared off by our home’s active deterrents (cameras, sounds, and lights) and we, in turn, were saved from a major headache.

So glad we found TNSG. The team is amazing to work with and were incredibly helpful at advising on the right solutions for our home (monitoring, exterior and interior deterrents, etc). Highly recommended!

Recently had my home CCTV system installed by the TNSG. I couldn’t be happier with the selection of the equipment and especially the friendly and professional service, and quick turnaround. Everything was explained in depth and all queries were handled super professionally.

Retail Security Systems FAQ

  • What types of retail security devices are out there?

    A retail security system can include many different devices based on your business’s needs. Security cameras, EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) and RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tags, alarm and access control systems, and safety films.
  • How do retail security systems work?

    Retail security systems work by combining technologies to monitor store activity, detect unauthorized movement or theft, and alert staff or authorities for immediate response. Tags attached to products trigger alarms if taken out of the store, security cameras monitor the activity 24/7, and alarm systems spot unauthorized access or movement.
  • What is the EAS system in retail?

    EAS, or Electronic Article Surveillance, helps prevent shoplifting. Once EAS tags are attached to merchandise, they emit a signal detected by antennas positioned at store exits. If customers try to leave without paying and having the tags deactivated or removed by the cashier, an alarm sounds, alerting your staff.
  • What does RFID mean?

    RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification – it’s a wireless tracking technology using small tags. These radio tags are readable even through packaging, making item tracking and inventory management much easier.
  • Is getting a retail security system in Toronto and the GTA expensive?

    Not at all, a retail security system in Toronto can be budget-friendly, while still being effective in protecting your property. Scalable systems, True North Security Group designs, will fit your budget, built completely around your store’s layout and traffic patterns.
