For Convenience Stores

Convenience runs on the floor.
So should your security team.

Convenience store security software for UK operators. Convenience formats carry repeat-offender shrinkage and unmanned overnight risk; QuantumEye runs on the cameras you already have, so every store becomes a recognised, evidenced and reported one across the whole estate, not just the site where an offender was first caught.

Why it matters

UK retailers lost £2.2bn to theft in 2023/24 (BRC); convenience operators carry a disproportionate share. QuantumEye delivers real-time AI loss prevention on the cameras you already have, with human review on every consequential action.

The three things operators care about most

Not features. Outcomes.

The conversation with operators in your sector keeps coming back to the same three things.

01

Repeat offenders across the estate

Repeat offenders are a known driver of retail theft. QuantumEye is designed to flag them at every store automatically, not just the one where they were first caught.

02

Unmanned overnight risk

After-Hours Guard arms automatically when the last staff member leaves. Forced entry triggers an evidence pack and a police-ready report, and can drive floodlights or a siren where they're wired in via an IoT integration.

03

Lone-worker safety

One staff member on a late shift. Restricted-area alerts and max-occupancy nudges, with fast escalation to a manager. The phone in their pocket is also a watchful eye.

Five moments. The whole platform at work.

A composite day tuned to your sector. Each card names the QuantumEye module(s) in play, so you can see how the features come together to solve the operational problems that actually show up in your stores.

IDENTIFY
07:02
The opening manager. Two strangers behind her.
Face Recognition matches the manager from the whitelist and waves her through. Two unenrolled contractors arriving for a fridge job are flagged as unknown, she enrols both from her phone before her coat is off.
Module · Face Recognition + Whitelist Groups
WATCHLIST
09:30
A face from another site walks in.
Face Recognition checks the estate-wide watchlist and surfaces a candidate match against prior events at other stores. The manager does a friendly approach; he leaves without incident.
Module · Face Recognition · estate watchlist
SAFETY
13:45
A delivery driver wanders into the stockroom.
Safety Events trips: an unrecognised face inside a staff-only zone. The manager redirects politely. The breach is evidenced for the audit log either way.
Module · Safety Events · restricted area
DETECT
21:18
Concealment in the toiletries aisle.
Shoplifting Detection's behaviour model trips, skincare goes inside a jacket. Multi-camera handoff tracks the subject to the exit. Incident Reporting has half-built the report by the time the manager opens the app.
Module · Shoplifting Detection + Incident Reporting
BRIEF
08:00 +1
Coffee still hot. The brief is ready.
Business Analytics rolls up yesterday: visitors, peak hour, the surge that was under-staffed, the demographic mix. Three ranked actions for today, on the manager's phone.

FAQ

Questions operators in your sector ask.

What is convenience store security software and how does QuantumEye work?

QuantumEye is a software platform that runs on the IP cameras you already own (RTSP or ONVIF), so there is no rip-and-replace of hardware. Detection runs on a small edge node in the store, so only events leave the building while the continuous camera feed stays on-site, which is better for latency, bandwidth and privacy. It detects suspicious behaviour, alerts your team and builds the evidence so a person can act; it does not stop or prevent theft on its own, and a human reviews every flag before anything happens.

Can the system recognise repeat offenders across all my convenience stores?

Yes. A face flagged at one store can be recognised at every site in your estate, which helps because repeat offenders are a known driver of retail theft. Recognition is assistive, not automated: a match surfaces a candidate and a human confirms before any ban or action, with face data stored separately from video and an append-only audit log. You can see how this works on the face recognition module page.

How does QuantumEye protect a convenience store overnight when no one is there?

After-Hours Guard arms automatically when the last staff member leaves. If forced entry is detected it assembles an evidence pack and a police-ready report, typically within minutes, and can drive floodlights or a siren where those are wired in via an optional IoT integration. The platform detects, alerts and evidences; it does not physically intervene, so a human stays in control of any response. More detail is on the After-Hours Guard page.

Is QuantumEye GDPR-compliant for a UK convenience store?

It is built to be GDPR-compliant by architecture: face data is stored separately from video, recognition is kept distinct from identification, the audit log is append-only, retention is bounded by category and data stays in the UK and EU. QuantumEye is ICO-registered and holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications via the British Assessment Bureau, verifiable on their public register. A human reviews every flag or match before any consequential action.

How much does convenience store security software cost and how quickly can I pilot it?

Pricing is scoped per estate by camera count and module mix, on a 12-month contract with no setup fee. A pilot runs 30 days, typically one store, fully featured, and can be run against your own anonymised incident history so you can see how it performs on your own footage first. A first-store pilot is usually live in around two weeks; see the pricing page for how quotes are structured.
