Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for obtaining video associated with a loss-prevention event of interest. Video footage is accessed from a video server based on an asset-based event-of-interest identifier (AEII), or a unique identifier for an RFID-tagged asset. The AEII is created in response to: the RFID-tagged asset being detected by an access point, such as exiting the premises; the RFID-tagged asset belonging to an inventory associated with the premises; and in response to the RFID-tagged asset lacking an asset-associated entry in an authorization database associated with the premises, for example having no record in a point-of-sale (POS) transaction database associated with the asset. The AEII is optionally created when the RFID-tagged asset has a minimum value. Using RFID in a different way than it was intended, RFID detection is integrated with video surveillance data, authorization data, and inventory data to provide advantages compared to existing loss prevention approaches.
