You’ve probably seen it before on TV — a video of someone trying to rob a convenience store. Convenience stores are some of the most popular targets for thugs to rob for a variety of reasons. Convenience stores are usually only staffed by one or two people, and they are open late at night, which not only provides the cover of darkness for their crimes, but it’s also less likely that there will be witnesses to contend with. Shoplifting is also a huge problem in convenience stores for the exact same reasons. It’s gotten so bad in some locations that some stores have instituted bullet-proof glass, limited access inside during night hours, or even closed down altogether.

These cameras not only deter crimes, but they also lower employee theft since they know they are being recorded. EndOfTheft is passionate about securing your business through security camera systems.

How EndOfTheft Works
There are three simple steps to EndOfTheft’s security monitoring system.
Step One: We install high-definition security cameras at your place of business for free.
This is the best part of all since you are getting the best business security camera system at no up-front cost to you. EndOfTheft understands that paying for such expensive equipment can put a strain on your small business. That’s why we’ve set up our theft prevention system the way we have. We don’t want to be a cost burden. Our whole mission is to save you money, not cost you a bundle. Furthermore, just having the security surveillance present will be worth its weight in gold. Criminals usually look for security surveillance before they strike, making their mere presence valuable to loss prevention.
Step Two: We monitor your security cameras for you.
As a small business owner, you just don’t have the time to sit down and watch file footage of every moment in the day. Instead, we monitor your business security camera system for you with a real live person watching in real time, 24/7. EndOfTheft cannot emphasize how important this is for a business such as convenience stores that are open 24 hours or late into the night. This allows us to report a robbery or any suspicious activity almost as it occurs, which is important to finding the culprits. This business security system is hard to find elsewhere. Spend your time growing your business while we spend our time protecting your business.
Step Three: Direct Email Reporting.
EndOfTheft will communicate with you as often or as little as you like, from weekly email reports to monthly or only when we find suspicious behavior. When we do capture something we see, such as shoplifting or suspected employee theft, we’ll email you right away with the video clips. If you need to review footage, we keep it all stored safely in the cloud. Simply email us, and we’ll pull the day and time of the security surveillance footage for you.
And that’s it! One of the things we’ve strived for here at EndOfTheft is to make your loss prevention methods easy. We want to be in the background as much as possible, leaving your mind worry-free while we monitor your small business.
Why Convenience Stores Need Security Surveillance
As mentioned above, convenience stores are targeted for many reasons. Below, we’ll dive into how EndOfTheft’s small business security cameras can help your convenience store with loss prevention.
- 24/7 access. Convenience stores are targets because they are open at all hours, and typically at hours that others are sleeping, making for fewer witnesses. With EndOfTheft’s 24/7 live monitoring of your small business security cameras, you can rest assured your store is covered from dawn to dusk.
- Cash transactions. A lot of criminals are looking for cash because it’s easy to spend and hard to trace. As a convenience store, the majority of your in-store sales are in cash. EndOfTheft’s high-definition security cameras will capture any unusual activity around your cash registers, either from criminals or from employees skimming, or taking some of the cash for themselves.
- Easily resold merchandise. Convenience stores stock the items most consumers want quickly, such as cigarettes, alcohol, and lottery tickets — all items that are easy to resell on the street. EndOfTheft’s small business security cameras can capture all areas of your store to monitor any time an item is pilfered.
- Only one employee. Convenience stores only need one employee to handle the minimal foot traffic at 2 am. By installing the best security cameras for your convenience store, you are ensuring the safety of your employee who probably has enough to contend with, as well as preventing employee theft.
How Exactly Does EndOfTheft Know When A Theft Has Occured
The saying that practice makes perfect is definitely true; it can be hard to gauge when an employee theft has occurred or when a small bottle of alcohol has been put into someone’s pocket. Our trained security team knows all the slight-of-hand tricks that slick criminals use to get away with their crimes. From stealing a pack of cigarettes to putting $1 into their pocket on every cash transaction sale, EndOfTheft knows what to look for in surveillance footage. Depending on what kind of convenience store you have, we normally look for and/or monitor the following:
- Skimming by employees
- Shoplifting sought after goods
- Not charging customers, who are usually friends of employees
- Gas pumps (if applicable)
- Parking lot
- Corners of buildings and all around building
- Dumpsters
- All entrances and exits
- Back offices
- Safe room
- Employee break room
- And so much more!
