Retail Security Systems in St. Louis & St. Charles
Always Have An Eye On Your Business
Citywide Alarms designs, installs, and monitors retail security systems built around how your store actually operates. Whether you run one boutique or a dozen locations, your store needs to be equipped to stop theft and stay protected at all hours.
Premium Local Security Solutions
Every Retailer Needs Professional Protection
Retail security comes down to four priorities, whether you run one store or a dozen: reducing shoplifting, preventing after-hours break-ins, managing who has access to what, and seeing every location from anywhere. Our retail security cameras, alarms, and access control work together as one system, so a problem at the register or at the back door comes with video that shows exactly what happened.
We Know The Issues You Face. We Have The Solutions You Need.
Reduce Shrink
Visible cameras at entrances, registers, and high-value displays are shoplifting prevention that works before an incident occurs, and smart detection flags activity that needs attention so staff can respond the moment it's happening.
.
Stop After-Hours Break-Ins
Door, motion, and glass break sensors detect an entry, and video-verified alarms let monitoring confirm what's happening, so police get a confirmed event instead of an unverified alarm. For storefront glass, 3M security window film holds the pane together during a smash-and-grab attempt, which slows entry and buys time for the alarm.
Manage Employee Access
NRF’s 2023 survey put internal theft at 29 percent of shrink, which makes access a loss prevention issue and not only a convenience. Individual user codes and card access give every employee their own credential, so you can see who opened what, and when.

Check In on Every Store From Your Phone
A store does not stop needing attention when you leave it. From your phone or tablet, you can view live and recorded video, receive alerts, and confirm what happened without driving in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do security cameras actually reduce shoplifting?
Visible cameras can discourage opportunistic theft, and they give you video to show what happened when theft does occur. They work best as part of a system with alarms, access control, and monitoring, since a camera alone records an incident without responding to it.
Can I see all my stores in one app?
You can view live and recorded video, receive alerts, and manage access from the mobile app or website, so you can check in from anywhere. How several stores appear together depends on your setup, and we design that with you during the store assessment.
Do police respond faster to video-verified alarms?
Citywide’s video verification lets a trained dispatcher confirm an alarm, so police are sent to a confirmed event instead of an unverified alarm. How quickly police respond is set by each department, so we do not promise a specific response time.
Can each employee have their own code or card?
Yes. Each employee can have their own card or credential, and you can add or remove access instantly, limit it by time of day or area, and review entry activity.
