With the Visilinx Product I mentioned above you can also watch live transactions as they happen. A separate window on the side of the video window will display exactly what is being printed on the actual receipt in the store.
All of this data is being sent back to an Oracle database in our data center and is later used when the client wants to do sales reporting or analysis.
We can currently connect up to 16 Cameras and 6 registers at each location. You can also control PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras and monitor gas pumps etc.
Time lapse video is constantly being archived for however many cameras are in the location. You can then seek back to a specific date and time and play back video from that time for all cameras or a specific camera of your choice. Saturation, Contrast and brightness can all be controlled from the web interface to expose details that may not immediately be seen. When you are watching the archived video you can also at any time pull up the transactions that were occuring at that point in time and see the actual receipt contents.
The company I work for sells a complete remote management solution for the convenience store industry that does all the things described in the original post.
It also interfaces with point of sale systems, captures images at predefined events (such as NO SALE's or lottery winnings etc). It does timelapse video with retention as far back as 13 months. It does sales reporting as well as many other reports.
I could go into more detail but I'll just direct you to the website.
