LVT Provides Integrated Security Solutions for Big Box Stores

We believe the most effective security measures for retail crime prevention begin in the parking lot. When big box stores’ loss prevention teams park an LVT® Unit outside, they discover how our remote-access surveillance cameras actively deter—and ultimately derail—potential criminals’ plans.

By combining our state-of-the-art features with high-definition video feeds and intelligent monitoring capabilities, LVT’s systems allow retailers to identify potential security threats quickly and take proactive steps to address and de-escalate issues before they escalate.
