Most shop losses happen when nobody is looking.

These are the five problems shop owners bring to us most. If yours is here, one of the packages below was built for it.

Smash-and-grab after closing

The glass goes, the stock goes, and you find out when you open the next morning.

Glass-break and shutter sensors raise the alarm and alert your phone the moment the frontage is attacked.

Usually fits: Essential Retail or Storefront Guardian

An alarm at 2 a.m. you cannot check

The alarm goes off, and you have no idea whether it is worth driving over.

Photo detection sends you a picture of what triggered it, so you know it is real before you call anyone.

Usually fits: Storefront Guardian

Stock and cash going missing

The count is short again, and there is no footage to show when or how.

Full-colour cameras over tills, aisles, and the stockroom door keep around 30 days of recording on site.

Usually fits: 8-Camera Colour System

Staff threatened during trading hours

A robbery or an aggressive customer, and nobody knows staff need help.

A discreet panic button under the counter calls for help, and with PRO Monitoring the alert reaches our team and our response partner at once.

Usually fits: any package with PRO Monitoring

Not knowing who opened or closed

The shop was left unarmed overnight, and nobody admits to locking up.

Each staff member arms and disarms with their own code or tag, and every opening and closing is recorded.

Usually fits: Essential Retail

What happens when someone tries your shop at night.

The same sequence runs whether you handle alerts yourself or hand them to PRO Monitoring.

01

A sensor trips

A door, shutter, glass-break, or motion sensor detects the attack and the siren sounds.

02

Your phone gets the alert

A notification arrives straight away, and with Storefront Guardian it carries a photo of what triggered it.

03

The alert is checked

You look at the photo and decide, or with PRO Monitoring our team and our response partner check it for you.

04

Someone responds

With PRO Monitoring, first responders attend confirmed alerts, and serious incidents are escalated to armed response.

05

You have the evidence

The alarm event is logged, and your cameras hold the recording to share with the police or your insurer.

Clear starting prices for shops.

Alarm packages are bought outright plus a monthly connection fee. CCTV is priced for the equipment, with installation quoted after the free survey.

A good fit, or better served by something else.

We would rather point you to the right option than sell you a package your shop does not need.

A shop package is a good fit if

  • Your shop is empty at night and the stock is worth stealing.
  • You want to know an alarm is real before you drive over.
  • Stock or cash goes missing and you need footage to find out how.
  • Your staff handle cash and need a way to call for help.

You are better served elsewhere if

Still have a question?

Talk to our operations team directly on WhatsApp or by phone.

How much does shop security cost?

Shop alarms start at KES 91,400 with Essential Retail, and Storefront Guardian, which adds photo alerts and a camera, starts at KES 197,600. An 8-camera CCTV system starts at KES 91,400 for the equipment and cable, with installation quoted after the survey. A free site survey confirms what your shop needs before you receive a written quotation.

What will I pay every month?

Alarm packages need Urban Eye Connect to stay online and send alerts: from KES 1,500/month for Essential Retail and KES 2,500/month for Storefront Guardian. 24/7 PRO Monitoring, with first responders and escalation to armed response when needed, is optional, from KES 8,050/month. Recording on a CCTV system has no monthly fee.

Can we restrict which staff members can arm or disarm the shop?

Yes. You can give managers and staff their own codes or tags, restrict sensitive areas, and review who opened or closed the shop.

How do you prevent false alarms when staff arrive in the morning?

Urban Eye sets entry delays, staff codes or tags, and an opening routine, so authorised staff can disarm the system before the alarm triggers.

What happens if someone smashes the window at night?

Glass-break detection triggers the siren and an alert on your phone straight away. With Storefront Guardian you also get a photo of what triggered it, and with PRO Monitoring the alert reaches our team and our response partner at the same moment.

What if staff are threatened during trading hours?

A discreet panic button under the counter lets staff call for help without drawing attention. With PRO Monitoring, the alert reaches our team and our response partner at once, first responders attend, and serious incidents are escalated to armed response.

Will installation disrupt trading?

Essential Retail is a wireless alarm installed in under 4 hours. Larger systems with cameras are scheduled around your trading hours so customers are not disturbed.
