Solution
Wayne PC Tech was engaged to address these security challenges and provide a comprehensive solution. Our team worked closely with the Retail Store’s management to understand their specific security needs and concerns.
Security Assessment: We conducted a thorough assessment of the store’s layout, identifying vulnerable areas and points of entry. This helped us determine the optimal placement of security cameras for maximum coverage.
