Amish Market is a neighborhood grocery store in New York City serving a high-traffic urban area with a wide range of everyday products. Although the store already had CCTV in place, its team needed a faster way to identify suspicious activity and investigate incidents.

THE CHALLENGE

Footage That Only Helped After the Loss

Amish Market had CCTV recording activity throughout the store, but limited real-time awareness. Reviewing an incident could take hours, and by the time the team found the relevant footage, the loss had already occurred.

The store needed a more proactive approach to loss prevention without replacing its existing camera infrastructure.

THE SOLUTION

AI on the Cameras Already in Place

Amish Market kept its existing CCTV investment and added Spacture AI on top of it. No camera replacements or hardware retrofit were required.

The integration gave the team three practical improvements to its daily loss prevention workflow.

Real-Time Alerts

The team receives alerts about suspicious activity as it unfolds, creating an opportunity to respond sooner.

Faster Video Search

A visual timeline helps staff locate relevant moments without manually searching through hours of recorded footage.

Store Activity Insights

The platform helps the team review foot traffic alongside sales data, providing additional context for store operations.

THE ROLLOUT

Live Alerts in Just One Week

Amish Market went from the initial kickoff call to live alerts in seven days.

Following deployment, Spacture AI and the store team continued monthly on-site reviews to keep the system aligned with the store’s day-to-day operations.
