Transactional security is critical for cannabis retailers and distributors, requiring thoughtful implementation of advanced security technologies. While on-site security personnel remain valuable, cloud managed video surveillance integrated with access control systems helps ensure that only authorized individuals access restricted areas. Given the industry's need for detailed records of all transactions, especially in largely cash-based operations, these systems also provide comprehensive audit trails and reporting features to support regulatory compliance and operational transparency. System owners should have cameras to capture images of the employee, the customer, the register, and the product exchange.

A robust camera system will allow grow facility operators to monitor their crops remotely and the growing process, assisting in accurately identifying unnecessary or poor growing processes. Being able to quickly and accurately identify these processes will help to ensure that each marijuana plant is efficiently harvested while meeting the highest quality standards.

Additional surveillance systems features such as audio and visual deterrence, facial recognition, metadata collection/statistics, people counting, image search, and traffic detection, can boost your system from reactionary to proactive.
