Retail business operators lose billions of dollars in the USA alone. In many businesses like, restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors, parking lots, landfills etc.... there is very little theft or fraud by the patrons or customers, employees account for the majority of the losses by these business owners.
Monitor your Cash Registers/POS with a Text Inserter option. The Text Inserter provides the ability to add the Cash Register/POS data to the video screen! Monitor exactly what is being scanned.
The Text-Pro allows characters to be inserted into any video source via an RS-232 / RS-422 / RS- 485 link. This allows cash registers, computers, scales, pole displays, printers or any RS-232 / RS-485 / RS-422 communicating device to display alpha-numeric’s in the video picture of any CCTV system. Simple front panel pushbuttons allow the user to simply program all functions and features. This includes character position, gray scale and a wide variety text processing function including exceptions and alarming features.
Whether used with a cash register providing real time data on an RS-232 port or tapping off a serial printer or pole display, the Text-Pro is a valuable tool in loss prevention.
Without the VSI-PRO you cannot easily tell that the cashier has done a substitute scan. This common theft practice occurs when the cashier scans a low-cost item in place of a more expensive one. In this case, the cashier scans a candy bar in place of a bottle of whisky.
The VSI-PRO shows without a doubt that the bartender has only entered some of the items of a transaction yet the sale has been finalized. In most cases, the employee will pocket the difference between the amount enteredinto the cash register and the actual total. In many cases, this type of theft can go undetected for months or even years.

2.Some registers utilize an RS-232 printer tap, while others with no RS-232 ability must be fitted with an additional interface module which converts the printer data to RS-232 for the Text-Pro.
3.Video out from the Text-Pro goes into the DVR
4.Video is displayed on the DVR monitor.
5. The EX option provides 2 hard alarm outputs to trigger alarming DVR's for Exception Reporting and Recording
