Point of Sale
Introduction
Point-of-Sale (POS) systems are used to facilitate and record financial transactions between
businesses and customers. Most commonly they are used in retail environments for product sales.
victor incorporates a comprehensive set of POS integration features which are available as a
licensed add-on.
Using the victor unified client you can import two types of POS data: raw POS transactions from
your POS system, and POS exception reports produced by your POS exception reporting system.
Once POS data is imported into victor, a range of investigation tools are available. You can access
video of each transaction, and use victor’s video investigation tools, such as Investigator Mode
and Clip Export to gather video evidence. In addition victor provides advanced POS searching
capabilities which can use to find specific transactions based on predefined POS rules.
Configuration
Before using victor’s POS features, several configuration steps should be followed:
The most important aspect of this configuration is to identify which cameras record video of which
POS terminals (or cash registers). This is achieved creating POS terminal objects in victor, and
associating those with camera objects. The steps involved are:
1 Create a POS Store object
2 Create POS Terminal objects
3 Associate POS Terminals with relevant cameras
After these general steps are complete, victor is ready to import POS data. When POS data is
imported, it is automatically synchronized with video based on Time (See POS Time Offset) and
Terminal ID with camera associations. This means operators are not required to know or
remember which cameras cover which terminals or are required to manually enter dates/times to
view POS transactions or exceptions.
