Running a convenience store means there is always a lot happening, and it is not possible to watch the cameras all the time. Netex Security gives us extra visibility by monitoring important activity and keeping us updated when something requires attention. Their team is responsive, professional, and easy to work with.Convenience Store

Convenience Stores and Gas Stations
Long hours, small teams, cash on the counter, and a forecourt that anybody can drive onto. Few businesses combine risk quite so efficiently.
Convenience and fuel sites face two problems at once: external loss from shoplifting and drive-offs, and internal loss at the till. Both are steady, both are individually small, and both are usually invisible until a stock count or a variance report goes badly wrong.
Netex Security covers the trading day, the overnight period, or both. Most operators start with the till area and the forecourt, then extend once they have seen a month of reports.

Questions
Convenience Stores and Gas Stations: common questions
Can you catch fuel drive-offs?
We can document them: the vehicle, the time, the pump, and where visible, identifying details. Whether that leads to recovery depends on your local process and the authorities.
Can you watch the till and the forecourt at the same time?
Yes. Operators work across the cameras assigned to your site, with priority zones you define in the monitoring protocol.
Our staff work alone at night. Does monitoring help with that?
It gives a lone worker someone watching the site who can escalate immediately under your protocol. It does not replace a lone-working policy, panic alarm, or your duty of care obligations.
Do you integrate with our POS?
Where your platform supports it. See POS exception verification for what that adds.
