About
Veesion is an AI-driven smart video surveillance solution designed specifically for the retail sector. By integrating with a store's existing camera system, Veesion's computer vision models continuously analyze in-store footage to identify concealment behaviors and other suspicious gestures associated with shoplifting. When a risk pattern is detected, the platform automatically sends a short video clip directly to staff mobile devices, enabling teams to respond quickly—before a theft is completed. The solution is entirely non-invasive: it requires no additional hardware, causes zero operational disruption, and does not use facial recognition, ensuring customer privacy compliance. Deployment typically takes only a few days. Veesion is purpose-built for retail environments such as supermarkets, pharmacies, and specialty retailers (beauty, convenience, DIY, wine shops), and is already used by more than 5,000 establishments across 50+ countries. Key impact metrics reported by clients include up to 60% of detected incidents involving repeat visitors, and over 100,000 suspicious gestures flagged each month globally. By creating a documented record of recurring theft patterns, Veesion also helps retailers build a deterrent effect over time. The platform is well-suited for businesses with large camera networks where manual monitoring is impractical, giving security teams the right information at the right moment to act effectively.
