Multi-layered security is becoming an ever-increasing focus for retail operations worldwide as they seek to combat crime which can have a significant impact on profitability. A new shopping centre in Austria has demonstrated how an interoperable approach, combining video surveillance, access control and intrusion technologies, has been used to address loss prevention.
The centre, which features some 83 shops and restaurants over an area of almost 40,000 square metres, is operated by two companies: one responsible for food retailing and one for non-food.
