Abstract
Systems and methods for synchronizing a barcode decode with a video camera to improve accuracy of retail POS loss prevention are disclosed herein. An example system includes a video camera configured to capture a set of frames associated with a target object, the set of frames having a first number of frames; a symbology reader configured to: (i) decode a symbology attached to the target object and (ii) generate a signal based on the successful decoding of the symbology attached to the target object; and a processor configured to analyze a sub-set of the set of frames based on the signal, the sub-set of the set of frames having a second number of frames that is smaller than the first number of frames.
