Signals to read first

Three signals to read before the result

No real-time monitoring01

No real-time monitoring

CCTV is recording, but nobody is watching the footage live at night. An abnormal situation may go unnoticed until morning.

Blind spots of single-staff shifts02

Blind spots of single-staff shifts

While one worker handles the register, it is impossible to observe the whole store at once. Blind spots emerge around drink and alcohol sections.

Hard to identify abnormal behavior03

Hard to identify abnormal behavior

Loitering for a long time or repeatedly visiting different zones can signal an attempted theft, but it is difficult to judge and respond in the moment.

This is what you actually see

01 Detect · saai care

Real-time capture of overnight abnormal behavior

AI reads visitor behavior patterns in real time. Sends instant alerts upon detecting loitering past thresholds in specific zones, abnormal postures (crouching/hiding), or group anomaly patterns.

Screens are illustrative and may differ from the actual service.

Real-time capture of overnight abnormal behavior

AI reads visitor behavior patterns in real time. Sends instant alerts upon detecting loitering past thresholds in specific zones, abnormal postures (crouching/hiding), or group anomaly patterns.

02 · 02 Analyze · saai insight

Theft-risk pattern analysis by time of day

Analyzes cumulative data to see which time slots and zones experience high anomaly frequencies. Weekly reports identify high-risk zones and hours to guide camera placement or shelf re-layouts.

03 · 03 Act · saai agent

Automatic alerts and response on anomalies

Sends push alerts and video clips to the store owner's app within 15 seconds of detection. Can integrate with automated warning broadcasts and remote door locking systems.

Expected results

Why convenience stores are vulnerable to overnight theft

According to Statistics Korea, more than 70% of convenience-store theft is concentrated late at night and in the early morning. One worker cannot watch several customers at once. Even with CCTV, footage is only a post-event tool if no one is monitoring it in real time. By the time someone searches for the incident, the loss has already occurred.
