This study's research objective was to gauge the usage of physical security
technologies within U.S. retail chains with at least five stores. Data was
collected in August 2011 using Web-based survey that sampled 179 United States
managers. To help minimize threats such as shoplifting and theft, analog video
surveillance technologies and access control systems, specifically keypads and
card readers, are most often used within retail premises. Integration of
security systems within the retail environment is fairly advanced. Security
budgets either increased or remained the same from 2010 to 2011.
