<strong>forecourttech</strong> Tokheim EYE TM Security Solution from Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS): Surveillance you can Trust pageten Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS), a part of Dover Corporation and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industries, advises fuel retailers of an effective way to combat fuel theft on the forecourt. Drive-offs at fuel stations have become a frequent problem over recent years, affecting many fuel businesses across the globe and substantially affecting profit margins. It is estimated that drive-offs are responsible for at least two thirds of retail fuelling forecourt crime* and are one of the primary drivers causing stations to close. It is no wonder that fuel retailers are increasingly looking for effective ways of combatting such felonies. Switching to ‘pay-at-pump’ technology, whilst largely effective at preventing crime on the forecourt, can be costly, with the Petrol Retail Association (PRA) estimating prepayment technologies costing around £<strong>20</strong>,000 per forecourt. This has driven many forecourt owners to look for alternative crime detection and prevention services at a fraction of the cost. One of these options is the Tokheim EYE TM Security Solution from DFS. A powerful but easy-to-use digital camera surveillance system designed specifically for petrol stations, the Tokheim EYE advanced high-definition CCTV solution is able to selectively store relevant images of possible crime; images that are instantly captured as soon as movement is detected on the forecourt. Storing receipt and filling number together with the images, the solution enables retailers to instantly retrieve information concerning specific events at the touch of a button and prevents hours of trawling through CCTV footage that would be required with conventional surveillance methods. Additionally, users can make use of the extensive filtering feature, allowing them to refine incidents by product type, tanker refuel and dispenser door panels being opened without authorisation. With an effective ‘pinch and zoom’ feature, users are also able to quickly isolate and focus on specific parts of captured images without losing image quality. The 24/7 monitoring system can display up to nine images of the fuelling site on the cashier’s screen and is enabled with both static and dynamic automatic number plate recognition, allowing retailers to store instances of drive-offs in a blacklist directory. If the offender returns to the petrol station, the cashier is instantly notified and is able to act quickly to take further action. The Tokheim EYE solution is integrated with the electronic point of sale (EPOS) system, allowing it to detect suspicious patterns and act upon employee theft. Once captured, data can be shared with all forecourts within a network or with other organisations in the area that are at risk of being affected by crime from repeat offenders, increasing the chance of prosecution. If supporting evidence is required by authorities, footage is easily exportable to digital applications such as DVD, memory stick or email. It’s not just crime that the Tokheim EYE solution is designed to manage. Integrated with the Tokheim Fuel POS TM point-of-sale system, the Tokheim EYE solution is able to reduce mix ups at the till, which is especially useful at busy periods.
