Retail theft costs U.S. businesses over $100 billion annually. Whether you operate a single storefront or manage hundreds of locations across the Midwest, DR TEC designs and installs integrated security systems that reduce shrinkage, protect employees, and give you real-time visibility into every corner of your operation.
We work with national retail chains, big-box stores, grocery retailers, quick-service restaurants, and specialty shops. Our systems are built for the realities of high-traffic retail — rugged hardware, tamper-resistant housings, and camera placement optimized for loss prevention, not just general coverage.
High-resolution IP and HD cameras positioned at entrances, exits, POS stations, stockrooms, and parking lots. Wide-angle and PTZ options for complete floor coverage. Remote viewing from any device so managers and loss prevention teams can monitor in real time.
Card reader and keypad systems for stockrooms, offices, and restricted areas. Track who enters and when with full audit logs. Integrate with your camera system so every access event is tied to video footage.
Smart detection for unusual activity — loitering, after-hours motion, crowd density alerts. Heat mapping to understand traffic patterns and optimize store layouts. People-counting for accurate foot traffic data.
Centralized dashboards to monitor every store from one screen. Standardized camera configurations across all locations for consistent coverage and simplified training. Scalable systems that grow as you open new sites.
Large-format retail requires extensive camera coverage without blind spots. DR TEC designs systems with the right mix of fixed, PTZ, and panoramic cameras to cover expansive sales floors, fitting rooms, receiving docks, and parking structures.
Self-checkout monitoring, cooler and stockroom coverage, and entrance/exit cameras. We install systems that integrate with your POS to correlate transactions with video — critical for investigating discrepancies and reducing internal shrinkage.
Drive-through cameras, kitchen coverage, safe and register monitoring, and parking lot security. Our QSR clients include national chains that rely on DR TEC for consistent installations across dozens of Midwest locations.
Discreet camera solutions that protect high-value merchandise without detracting from the shopping experience. Compact dome cameras, smart alerts when display cases are opened after hours, and integration with alarm systems.
Common area surveillance, parking garage cameras, tenant corridor monitoring, and integration with property management systems. DR TEC handles the full scope — structured cabling, cameras, access control, and network infrastructure.
Opening 5 stores this year or 50? DR TEC handles national rollout programs with standardized installation specs, consistent equipment, and project management across every location. One vendor, one standard, every site.
Our retail security systems don't just record — they integrate with your loss prevention workflow. POS transaction overlays, exception-based reporting triggers, and video bookmarking give your LP team the tools to investigate incidents faster, build stronger cases, and reduce overall shrinkage across your retail portfolio.
