Cloud Video Solution Helps Protect Cannabis Industry From Seed to Point-of-Sale
From seed to sale, covering every segment of the industry — whether as a producer, laboratory, retail or dispensary — is a critical business requirement in the burgeoning cannabis industry. Because of the desirable nature of the product, the easy street resale value, and the fact that many marijuana retailers carry a lot of cash on hand, the need for professional and reliable surveillance is essential in the legal cannabis industry.
Grow monitoring and loss prevention are two of the biggest challenges for the cannabis industry. Growers need to monitor their crops, ensure that harvesting is done properly and that there is no inappropriate conduct within the facilities. Retail locations need to prevent loss from employee theft or by visitors within locations. Not surprisingly, some security companies have begun to specialize in this unique area. One such company is Portland, Ore.-based CannaGuard Security, which specializes in designing and installing custom security systems specifically for the cannabis industry.
