The Sweethearting at checkout detection module is designed to prevent cases of intentional employee theft by scan avoidance at the cash register (sweethearting). The module works together with POS-Axxon PSIM software and Axxon PSIM Web Report System subsystem.

The Sweethearting at checkout detection module provides the following functions:

  1. Recognizing the events of scanning at cash registers in real-time video.
  2. Recording events of successful scanning to the event log. 
  3. Recording events of successful scanning to the database.

Theft facts are displayed in the Axxon PSIM Web Report System in the Sweethearting report. When creating the report, events from POS-Axxon PSIM and the Sweethearting at checkout detection module are compared. If the detection tool recorded the carrying the goods, but events from POS-Axxon PSIM were not recorded at that time, then the theft occurred. Other cases are considered normal. For more information about how to configure and work with POS-Axxon PSIM and Axxon PSIM Web Reports System, see POS-Axxon PSIM. Administrator's Guide and Axxon PSIM Web Report System. User guide (the latest versions of these documents are available in the AxxonSoft documentation repository).


The real theft detection probability is 50% in order to avoid frequent false triggerings of the detection tool. Though, multiple theft attempts will be detected with a 90% probability. Mainly theft detection probability depends on whether the requirements given in the Camera requirements for the Sweethearting detection module section are met.
