Case Study 3: Retail Industry & Hypermarket

Retail stores are vulnerable to crime such as attacks on staff in the course of robbery, shop lifting and internal theft.  Due to inefficiencies in piece meal security arrangements in stores, particularly in larger superstores, and the cost and management of security personnel, CCTV systems in hypermarkets and supermarkets have become common place.

Over a number of years, new and existing hypermarkets and supermarkets around Malaysia, including East Malaysia have enjoyed lower incidences of theft, employee fraud and vandalism by implementing GTC Integrated CCTV systems and burglar alarm systems.
