Security Planned Around the Actual Tobacco Shop
A tobacconist combines public customer access, valuable inventory, staff-only areas and long periods when nobody is on site.
The security design should separate those risks instead of relying on a single wide camera or one generic alarm detector. Camera views, alarm zones and user permissions are planned around how the shop actually operates.
- Main customer entrance
- Shopfront and glazing
- Counter and checkout
- Selected high-value displays
- Stockroom access
- Rear or staff entrance
- Delivery access
- Selected internal intrusion zones
Shopfront & Entrance
Counter & POS
Stockroom & Inventory
Rear & Staff Access
CCTV Coverage Built Around Useful Views
Every camera should answer a specific security question. Viewing distance, mounting position, lighting, required detail and recording requirements are considered before camera locations are confirmed.
Customer Entrance and Shopfront
The main entrance is positioned for useful identification and incident context rather than simply producing another wide overview of the premises.
Counter and Point of Sale
Camera views around the POS are planned around the actual interaction area so recorded footage provides context for transactions and incidents.
High-Value Stock and Stockroom Access
Selected displays, stock storage and access to staff-only areas can receive dedicated coverage rather than relying only on general shop cameras.
Rear, Side and Delivery Access
Rear doors, staff access, delivery paths and useful external approaches can be covered where they form part of the site’s actual security risk.
Recording and Remote Review
Authorised users should be able to find footage, review events and use remote viewing without the recording system becoming unnecessarily difficult to operate.
Choose the CCTV Platform Around the Site
The appropriate camera platform depends on camera quantity, recording requirements, existing infrastructure, network conditions and whether the premises already uses Ajax.
- ✓ Entrance detail — select the viewing angle around the way customers actually enter and leave.
- ✓ POS context — prioritise the counter interaction area rather than maximum room coverage.
- ✓ Lighting — account for shopfront glare, changing daylight and night conditions.
- ✓ Recording and retention — size the recorder and storage around camera count and the required recording period.
Ajax CCTV can suit sites that want compatible video and Ajax security events within the Ajax environment. A dedicated wired CCTV platform may be preferable where camera count, recording or video-management requirements are more demanding.
Ajax Alarm Protection with Optional 24/7 Monitoring
CCTV provides visual information. The Ajax alarm system detects security events and raises alerts around entrances, restricted areas and selected internal zones.
Professional monitoring is available as a separate optional service for compatible Ajax systems, including supported video-verification workflows where configured.
Protect Valuable Stock Without Replacing Good Equipment
Stock protection is stronger when cameras, intrusion detection and authorised access are planned together. Existing equipment can be assessed before unnecessary replacement is proposed.
High-Value Stock & Stockroom
Camera placement and alarm zones can focus on access to important inventory and staff-only storage.
- Stockroom entry views
- Selected high-value displays
- Internal intrusion protection
- After-hours coverage
Existing CCTV Review
Existing CCTV does not automatically need complete replacement.
- Current camera coverage
- Blind spots and image quality
- Recorder operation and playback
- Storage and remote viewing
- Ethernet and PoE equipment
Existing Ajax Repair & Takeover
Faults and takeover requirements are routed to the dedicated Ajax repair service.

- False alarms
