Coverage planning
Plan camera positions for entrances, aisles, checkout counters, stock rooms, staff areas, and blind spots.
CCTV Surveillance
Retail CCTV systems planned for real store conditions.
SHOPTECH helps supermarkets, grocery stores, liquor stores, cafes, restaurants, and retail businesses plan, install, configure, and support practical CCTV systems for entrances, aisles, checkouts, stock rooms, staff areas, and after-hours monitoring.
Why CCTV
Protect your store with practical camera coverage.
A good CCTV system is not just about adding cameras. It is about placing the right cameras in the right areas, setting up reliable recording, and making footage easy to access when you need it.
Recording setup
Configure NVR storage, retention expectations, network access, time settings, and practical backup workflows.
Remote access
Support secure viewing workflows for owners and managers who need visibility away from the store.
Clean install
Install neatly around shelves, ceilings, cabinets, network points, and daily store operations.
Recommended Camera Brands
Hikvision, Dahua, and Uniview cover most retail needs well.
For most shops, these three brands offer a strong balance of price, image quality, reliability, app access, and local serviceability. The result depends less on buying the most expensive camera, and more on selecting the right lens, mounting position, NVR storage, PoE cabling, and viewing workflow.
Hikvision
Strong model range, mature NVR ecosystem, good low-light options, and practical support for retail surveillance.
Dahua
Good value camera and recorder packages with clear night-view options for entrances, aisles, and shopfronts.
Uniview
Reliable commercial CCTV hardware with simple system design options for stores that want strong value.
Before Buying Cheap WiFi Cameras
DIY WiFi cameras are not the same as a retail CCTV system.
Consumer WiFi cameras can look cheap at the beginning, but many store owners only discover the real cost after a break-in, dispute, or stock-loss issue. For a shop, CCTV should be stable, continuous, easy to retrieve, and designed around the areas that actually matter.
Monthly cloud fees add up
Many cheap cameras rely on paid cloud storage. Once you add multiple cameras, the ongoing monthly cost can exceed a proper NVR setup.
WiFi drops at the wrong time
Retail WiFi is already busy with POS, EFTPOS, staff devices, and customers. A weak WiFi signal can mean missing footage exactly when you need it.
Shorter product life
Home cameras are not always built for dusty ceilings, heat, long operating hours, or busy commercial environments.
Harder to find evidence
After an incident, owners need fast playback, time search, export, and multi-camera review. Cheap apps can make this slow and frustrating.
Coverage gaps
DIY cameras are often placed where power is convenient, not where entrances, tills, shelves, and blind spots actually need coverage.
Security and access risk
Shared app logins, weak passwords, and unmanaged devices can create privacy and access-control problems for the business.
Deployment Process
From site walk-through to usable footage.
SHOPTECH checks the store layout, camera positions, cable routes, network cabinet, recorder location, viewing needs, and retention expectations before recommending the right system.
01
Walk-through and camera map
Identify entrance, checkout, aisle, stock room, and blind-spot coverage.
02
Hardware and storage selection
