Conflict and public-facing risk
Security teams may deal with aggression, theft, anti-social behaviour and difficult interactions where rapid support and reliable evidence matter.
Sector · Retail & Security
Protect frontline teams and coordinate response across busy public environments.
Retail and security teams work in unpredictable, public-facing environments where incidents can develop quickly. The technology has to support the person wearing or carrying it, the control team responding and the governance process that follows an incident.
What usually creates the need
Operational pressure comes before product choice.
These are common patterns we see in retail & security environments. The right solution depends on the people, site, workflow, risk and outcome involved.
Lone and dispersed workers
Roving officers, opening and closing teams, car-park staff and remote posts may not have a colleague immediately beside them when something changes.
Evidence has to be governed
Body-worn video only creates value when footage can be stored, found, retained, disclosed and redacted through a controlled process.
Relevant solution mix
Choose only the technology the operation needs.
Foresolutions can combine these capabilities or deploy them independently. We are not trying to force every organisation into the same technology stack.
Body-worn video & evidence
Design the camera, activation policy, storage and retrieval workflow around the role and the organisation’s governance requirements.
Explore →Security radio & PTToC
Connect security, management and response teams using DMR or cellular Push-to-Talk according to site coverage and operating model.
Explore →Live support workflows
Where supported and appropriate, connected devices can provide location or live incident context to supervisors and control teams.
Evidence retrieval & disclosure
Build a practical route from capture to secure storage, search, role-based access and onward disclosure.
Explore →Lone-worker support
Communication, emergency alerts and monitoring can support a wider lone-worker risk-control process; technology does not replace the risk assessment.
Explore →Multi-site standardisation
Standardise devices, channels, policies and support across multiple stores or sites while retaining local operational flexibility.
Explore →What better looks like
Measure the operational outcome, not the number of devices.
A successful deployment should remove friction from everyday work and give managers information they can actually use.
Give staff a faster route to support and clearer incident processes.
Connect control, security and management without unnecessary phone calls.
Make footage easier to retrieve and manage when it is genuinely needed.
Use common policies and configuration across multiple sites.
Where it fits
Designed around real working environments.
Shopping centres
Coordinate security, facilities and management teams across public areas, service corridors, car parks and control rooms.
Retail security teams
Support public-facing roles with communication and proportionate body-worn evidence workflows.
BIDs & public realm
Connect dispersed teams working across streets, town centres and mixed public environments.
Foresolutions approach
One accountable partner across the solution.
We can bring together devices, software, connectivity, configuration, integration, deployment, training and support so the customer is not left coordinating disconnected suppliers.
DiscoverUnderstand people, sites, risk and workflow.
DesignChoose the minimum technology needed.
PilotProve the operational outcome where useful.
DeployConfigure, train and integrate.
SupportOwn the solution and keep improving it.
Current guidance
Lone and public-facing worker safety
Our updated insight brings current HSE lone-working and ICO body-worn-video guidance into the operational design conversation.
Read insight →Quick answers
Useful before the first conversation.
Can body-worn cameras be used by retail and security teams?
Yes, where their use is necessary and proportionate. Organisations also need appropriate privacy information, governance, retention and evidence-management processes.
Does body-worn video replace lone-worker procedures?
No. Technology can support monitoring, communication and emergency response, but employers still need to assess and manage lone-working risks.
