Reduce Shrinkage

The Loss Prevention and Shrinkage Challenges of Today

Loss prevention and shrinkage are rarely one-off incidents. Organized crews, insider risk, and gaps between point-of-sale (POS), doors, and cameras can quietly erode margins across locations. Brivo Security Suite brings access control, video, and intrusion detection into a single view so teams can spot issues faster and investigate with more context. Plus, AI-assisted search via Brivo Genius can provide you with fast, context-aware support.

Access Management and Video Surveillance

Connect the access and alarm event to the video clip, and the question shifts from “what happened?” to “what action should I take next?” Brivo links door activity and timestamps to video in a single view. This helps loss prevention teams quickly identify the cause of the incident and act from a single platform. Review time can drop from hours to minutes, with every decision logged for audit.

Where Loss Prevention Pays for Itself

Brivo centralizes door events, video, and data in a single cloud dashboard, giving loss prevention teams instant visibility and significant context into suspicious activity, enabling them to verify incidents and respond quickly.

After-hours access control

Get alerts for off-hours access and overnight deliveries, grant auto-expiring credentials, lock doors remotely, and notify a manager if needed.

Video-POS integration, exceptions, and entry mismatch

Link cameras and POS to flag suspicious transactions, and restrict access if needed.

Forced-door alarms

See each alarm on video, separate false alerts from real incidents, and preserve evidence for HR, legal, or law enforcement.

Inventory and back-of-house

Issue temporary roles and monitor access activity at stockrooms and receiving areas to support your inventory processes

Storeroom cages and shared keys/PINs

Timestamp PIN entries with video to see who actually accessed high-value items.

Back doors and loading docks

Monitor every door, verify vendors and deliveries with linked video and credentials, and get alerts if a door is propped open or accessed at outside operating hours.

Monitoring services for retailers

Brivo offers remote video monitoring for after-hours behavior and 24/7 oversight of access and intrusion events.

Warehouse security systems

Use license plate recognition (LPR) for trucks at warehouses and distribution centers to confirm vehicle details.

Support

Quick and Effective Management of Remote Access

Remote access allows your reseller or Brivo Support to sign in to your Brivo Security Suite account to assist with configuration and troubleshooting. You can use it as needed to accelerate support for stores, warehouses, and distribution centers, then turn it off. You decide if and when it’s available, and authorized admins can toggle it on or off.

Common Questions About Loss Prevention Security

How can integrated access and video help reduce shrinkage?

When your access control, video, and intrusion events are integrated, loss prevention teams can reduce review time from hours to minutes. You see which credential was used, what the camera shows at that door, and whether an intrusion event was triggered, all from the same console. Video data linked to point-of-sale transactions can also make it easier to spot and investigate potential fraud.

The combined record improves response times, preserves evidence, and helps you spot patterns before they repeat. With Brivo's 24/7 remote monitoring services, high-priority intrusion and access events can also be reviewed. Potential incidents are investigated and escalated even when your team is off the clock.
