Toshiba Online Calculator Helps Retailers Determine ROI of POS Video Surveillance System
Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products, a business unit of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., now offers an online calculator that retail managers can use to determine their return on investment if they purchase a video surveillance system equipped with new Toshiba TransCapture point of sale software.

The free calculator, available at www.mysavingsattoshiba.com , is an important resource for retailers combating the skyrocketing costs of employee theft, estimated to cost the retail industry $19 billion annually in the United States. By entering into the calculator such data as their retail segment and annual sales, users are shown the number of months required before a Toshiba POS surveillance system begins to pay for itself based on a projected reduction in store shrinkage. Use of the calculator does not require registration.

"Our new calculator is the first to put a real-world dollar figure on the value of video surveillance," explained Sergio Collazo, Director of Sales & Marketing, Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products. "With just a few keystrokes, retailers can see how video surveillance adds to a company's profitability by reducing the cost of shrinkage, especially employee transaction fraud."
Forty-seven percent of retail inventory shrinkage is attributable to employee theft, so it is no surprise that nearly three out of every four retailers report they can't trust their employees. With its ability to superimpose all cash register transaction data onto video as it happens, TransCapture software from Toshiba allows management to verify cashier activity for suspicious transactions, helping reduce shrinkage and increase management's trust in employees.

Toshiba TransCapture software integrates seamlessly with Toshiba Surveillix digital video recorders and other Windows-based recording systems. It is also compatible with most cash register protocols, including Toshiba TEC, POSitouch, VeniFone, Vardells, AVE, ISS45 V7, Aloha, SIDG, Micros (9700, 3700, E-7), and TVS, as well as PC-based POS with generic RS-232 capture.
In addition to its ability to overlay transaction text on video, key capabilities of the software include customizable lists, recording of both analog and network cameras, and the exporting of video to JPEG and AVI formats with overlaid transaction details.
