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.
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.
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.
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.

Deployment |
Self-installable across the fleet, no specialized labor. |
Camera-and-speaker systems: contractor install at far higher cost. |

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.
