AI Cameras Stop Shoplifting in Real Time | Sheffield News

A South Yorkshire convenience store is deploying cutting-edge AI tech to stop shoplifting—32 CCTV cameras, costing just £300 a month, instantly alert staff when items are stolen, even locking doors remotely. After expanding two years ago, the store struggled with oversight until this system allowed real-time monitoring without making customers feel watched. Owners say it’s already paid for itself, especially since thefts like two jars of coffee (worth £16) cost more than the monthly fee. They’re unapologetic about using footage to shame thieves online—and if you don’t want to be monitored? Don’t steal.
