ACTIVE DETERRENCE SOLUTION

Where Tags, Cases, and Cameras Fail

Not every high-theft category can be locked, tagged, or watched closely. Cosmetics, frozen food, and open displays often remain exposed, creating repeat-loss areas that offenders learn to revisit. Indyme’s SmartDome detects anomalous behaviors in these high-risk zones and responds immediately with audio and light, interrupting theft in the moment and reducing loss where it happens most.

The Shrink Highway

Where shrink repeats most

Some aisles become repeat-loss routes because they give offenders time and cover. Packaging is removed, merchandise is concealed, and empty wrappers are left behind. Over time, these shrink highways become predictable paths through the store, turning low-visibility areas into recurring loss points.

Active. No Passive

Deterrent in the moment

Cameras capture evidence. Tags create friction. Passive warnings fade into the background. SmartDome changes the moment by detecting suspicious behavior and responding immediately with light and audio. The visible, audible interruption makes the risk feel present before theft happens, creating deterrence where observation alone is not enough. 

SmartDome_InAction_landscape_v2
Mount Anywhere. Deploy Fast

Flexible protection without contractor-heavy rollout

SmartDome fits wherever shrink repeats, with multiple mounting accessories for aisles, endcaps, ceilings, trusses, and hard-to-cover displays. Store teams can install it without contractors, lifts, or major disruption. Use it standalone for fast deterrence, or choose connected models to alert associates through radios, PA, or mobile devices when escalation is needed.

Comparison table

Focus Area

Active Deterrence Solution

Alternative Approaches

Response

Acts in real time to interrupt theft in progress.

Passive deterrents: tags and dummy domes do not respond in the moment.

Detection Logic

Behavior-based dwell detection ignores walk-by traffic.

Motion-only devices: trigger on everyone and fade into background noise.

Category Fit

Protects categories that cannot be tagged or locked.

Tags and keepers: uneconomical or impossible for these categories.

Shrink Reduction

10-15% Shrink Reduction validated by independent, peer-reviewed research.

Fake domes: offenders identify them and the effect collapses.

Deployment

Self-installable across the fleet, no specialized labor.

Camera-and-speaker systems: contractor install at far higher cost.

Self Escalation

Optional on connected models, over radios, PA, or devices.

Standalone cameras: record footage but alert no one in the moment.

Frequently asked questions

Here you'll find answers to the most common questions about our products and services. If you don't see what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact our team.

Dummy domes lose their effect once offenders recognize them. Independent LPRC research found 100% of interviewed offenders overestimated this device's capabilities, because it actually responds: a spoken message and flashing lights, not a hollow shell.

No. It detects presence and plays audio; it does not capture video or audio. It is built to look like a camera, deterring honestly rather than recording.

Yes. Eight-plus bracket options support self-installation without a contractor, including a truss hook that mounts high from a ladder rather than a lift.

As far as location, Indyme’s Smart Dome works best in high-loss areas, open displays, and low-visibility aisles, as well as with products that are difficult to protect, including cosmetics, frozen food, and health and beauty. Install Smart Dome where theft repeats and where tagging, locking, or cameras are not practical.


In connected mode it bridges through Indyme Smart Response to analog and digital walkie-talkies, overhead PA, and smart devices. If you have no infrastructure yet, it runs standalone and converts later with no hardware change.

Battery models run for years under typical retail use. Wired (PoE) models run continuously.

No. Behavior-based dwell detection distinguishes browsing from walk-through traffic, and intelligent rearm prevents repeat activations on the same shopper, so the deterrent stays credible instead of becoming background noise.
