Till-linked CCTV.
Your till knows what was sold. Your cameras know what happened. We link them, so every transaction is stamped onto the footage and you can find it in seconds.
What is till-linked CCTV?
Till-linked CCTV, also called EPOS overlay or EPOS-CCTV integration, sends every transaction from your EPOS to your camera recorder. The items, totals, payment type and any refund, void or no-sale appear on the video, so you can search for a transaction and watch it.
Problems it helps you check
- Refunds with no customer present
- No-sales: the drawer opened without anything rung up
- Voided items after the customer has paid
- Discounts or staff prices given to friends
- Items handed over without being scanned
- Customer disputes about what was charged
How it works
Link
We connect your EPOS to the recorder over your network.
Overlay
Transactions appear on the counter camera's footage as they happen.
Search
Find a refund, value or no-sale and jump to the clip.
A typical counter camera
Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-ISU/SL: a 4K AcuSense turret powered by DarkFighter. Mounted above the till, it sees the hands, the drawer and the card terminal clearly.
Why it is easier with one installer
Linking a till to a recorder needs both systems set up to talk to each other. When the till company and the CCTV company are different, each tends to say the problem is on the other side. We fit and support both, so the link is our job from start to finish.
Using it fairly
Tell staff that the counter camera is linked to the till and why. Keep footage for a set period, limit who can view it, and use it to check discrepancies rather than to watch people all day. Handled this way, it protects honest staff as much as it protects the business.
Questions about till-linked CCTV
What is EPOS-CCTV integration?
EPOS-CCTV integration links your till to your camera recorder. Each transaction is sent to the recorder and shown as text over the video from the counter camera, and stored so you can search footage by transaction details.
What can I search for?
Typically refunds, voids, no-sales, discounts, cash payments, a specific value, a product or a staff login, depending on the till and recorder. We confirm exactly what your set-up can search for at the survey.
Will this work with my existing till?
Some tills can send transaction data to a recorder and some can't. We check yours on the survey and tell you plainly whether it can be linked or what would need to change.
Is it fair to staff?
It should be. Staff should be told that the counter is covered by CCTV linked to the till and why. In practice, matched video protects honest staff too, because a till discrepancy can be checked rather than guessed at.

It costs nothing. An engineer visits, looks at your counter, your layout and your blind spots, then gives you one written quote for the till, the cameras, or both.
