Inside the medical marijuana dispensary where I work, there are more than 2 cameras to watch all of the customers as well as the store, then the cameras are strategically located in every corner of the lobby, but it is possible to see every single angle inside of the store with all cameras running at the same time! All of us have a security officer that sits in the control room as well as watches the video in live time.
If the security officer sees a problem, they can contact the desk for help.
I was working at the help desk on Tuesday afternoon, when I received a telephone call from the security officer, he told me that one particular guy in the store was stealing. He identified the guy by describing what he was wearing. The guy was still in the marijuana dispensary browsing some of our selection. The security officer told me to keep an eye on the customer. I carefully watched the guy as he walked around the store, despite the fact that I didn’t see him try to steal any marijuana supplies. I took a customer to my desk as well as I was helping that person fulfill a medical marijuana order. The iphone started ringing, despite the fact that I could not answer in the middle of a transaction. 1 hour later, the security officer came through the front door as well as he walked right over to the thief. He grabbed the guy by the arm as well as escorted him out of the building. He can’t make the guy empty his pockets as well as he can’t search him, however he can call the police for further backup.
