Frequently Asked Questions

How does Argos detect shoplifting without facial recognition?

Argos uses behavioral analysis — tracking body movements, hand-to-item interactions, and concealment gestures — rather than facial recognition. This approach is GDPR-compliant and detects theft methods that facial recognition cannot, such as first-time offenders.

Can Argos integrate with existing retail CCTV systems?

Yes. The Argos Edge Box connects to any IP camera infrastructure. No camera replacement needed. Deployment is plug-and-play, typically operational within hours across all store locations.

What ROI can retailers expect from Argos?

Retailers typically see 85% cost savings compared to traditional manned security, with a sub-1-second response time versus 15-30 minutes for human guards. The system provides 24/7 coverage across unlimited cameras.
