Guard

Flag the behaviour. Let a human make the call.

Behaviour-based detection of concealment, grab-and-run and till incidents, surfaced for review in real time. QuantumEye packages the evidence and routes it to a manager who confirms before anything happens. Assistive by design, human-reviewed by default.

Illustrative CCTV feed. UK off-licence, watermarked
Why it matters

UK retailers lost £2.2bn to theft in 2023/24 (BRC), 20.4 million theft incidents. QuantumEye delivers real-time AI loss prevention on existing CCTV, ICO-registered and ISO 27001 certified, with human review on every consequential action.

What it does

Three theft patterns. Detected by behaviour, not by item.

Tuned on real UK retail footage, it flags only when the behaviour is unambiguous, not the everyday pick-up-and-put-back of normal shopping.

01

Concealment in clothing or bag

It watches the product go from shelf to hand to bag, and flags only if it doesn't come back out. A quick pick-up-and-put-back doesn't trip it.

02

Grab-and-run

High-velocity exit with un-paid product in hand. Multi-camera track follows them to the door.

03

Cash incidents at the till

Unusual till-drawer behaviour, refund without scan, and item swap-out at the cashier.

How it works

It reads behaviour, not just objects, on every camera.

QuantumEye recognises the sequence that leads to a theft, browsing, picking up, carrying, concealing, and follows the person from camera to camera so the whole incident is one clip, not six. Tuned for UK retail.

EDGE

AI on the camera

Runs in the store. No raw video uploads. Detection happens at the camera, so the alert lands before the person reaches the door.

TRACK

Multi-camera handoff

The system follows the suspect across the store. Cam 04 → Cam 06 → Cam 08, the chain is in the evidence pack automatically.

PACK

Evidence pre-built

Clip, face, confidence score, audit trail and a pre-filled police-report skeleton, on the manager's phone within minutes.

Live example

16:29, alcohol aisle. A bottle goes inside a jacket.

An illustrative scenario from a UK off-licence camera, Zone A. Concealment is flagged on the alert track in real time; multi-camera handoff follows the subject to the exit; the manager intercepts calmly. Item recovered, no confrontation.

Pairs well with

GDPR & accuracy

A human reviews every confirmed theft.

QuantumEye flags. A QE Administrator reviews and approves before any action. Alerts default to Pending, never to Approved.

01

Pending by default

Every detected theft is created as Pending. No automated police report, no automated ban. A QE Administrator must approve.

02

False alarms anonymised

If the reviewer marks an event as FalseAlarm, the clip is blurred before it is retained.

03

Append-only audit

Every status change writes an EventAuditLog row. The log is never updated or deleted.
