Integrated Surveillance & Access Control Systems

Retail locations have the unique challenge of balancing comfortable consumer access while keeping merchandise and people secure. You need solutions that are user-friendly for employees, yet robust enough to provide protection. But you don't have to sacrifice security for convenience. Our custom-tailored solutions provide real-time situational awareness, include remote management capabilities, and advanced features to help deter, protect, and investigate incidents.

More Than Theft Prevention

From the shop floor to the back-of-house areas, preventing criminal activities is a top priority. However, an integrated, intelligent security solution from Empire will also help boost your bottom line! With advanced IP cameras, AI-powered analytics, and modern access control solutions, you can deter shoplifting, unauthorized access, and internal losses – but also use the same technology to gain actionable business insights. Optimize store layout, product volume, and employee schedules by monitoring customer traffic flow & wait times in line, and by identifying hot-zones and shopper dwell times – all from a unified dashboard.

Eye-Catching Digital Displays

Retail is more than transactional – it's experiential. By combining visual impact with operational agility, Empire helps you transform store visits into immersive brand experiences that drive dwell time, conversions, and repeat business.
