The partnership of IPIX’s CommandView™ cameras with ClickIt's SmartCamXi DVRs brings retailers cutting edge security

RESTON, Va. -- IPIX Corporation, a premier supplier of digital surveillance and immersive imaging solutions, announced it has partnered with ClickIt Inc., a leading developer and distributor of digital video solutions for the retail market, to provide a comprehensive network video solution combining IPIX’s high resolution, 360-degree cameras with ClickIt’s digital video recorders.

The partnership of IPIX’s CommandView™ cameras with ClickIt's SmartCamXi DVRs brings retailers cutting edge security, increased vision, enhanced market data collection and sophisticated patron tracking – all while requiring the installation and maintenance of fewer cameras.

“This solution empowers retailers to clamp down on the petty shoplifting and unsubstantiated lawsuits that add up to significant monetary losses each year,” said Clara Conti, CEO of IPIX. “The ability to record the 360-degree image, go back into that image and look around puts security personnel right into the scene. IPIX and ClickIt’s partnership offers a solution that brings retail to the next level of premise security.”

Shoplifting costs the retail industry more than $31 billion each year, with employee theft and shrinkage accounting for the largest losses in corporate revenue. Providing retail and loss prevention personnel with a surveillance and data-management solution reduces employee theft and fraudulent liability suits, including on-the-job employee injury or slip-and-fall claims. The system is also a tool for gaining valuable marketing data, enabling users to see everywhere customers go.

“This partnership forwards ClickIt’s mission of providing the most advanced technology solutions to everyday business problems,” said Jim Carey, CEO of ClickIt Inc. “We are very pleased to be working with IPIX.”
