What’s the difference between ShopSafe ONE and Antare?
ShopSafe ONE and Antare are both 4G body cameras with an SOS button and AI-powered software behind them. Antare records the whole shift and uses AI to spot shouting, aggression and distress, then surfaces incidents and patterns across sites, on a monthly subscription with no minimum term. ShopSafe ONE adds facial recognition alerts, offender profiles and case building in Alert, and push-to-talk radio, from a supplier with ISO 27001 and national retail contracts. Antare's cameras are lighter and rated for longer continuous recording.

Questions about switching
- Is ShopSafe ONE a like-for-like replacement for Antare?
It covers the same ground: 4G body worn video, an SOS button with live streaming and AI-powered software behind it. It also adds facial recognition alerts, offender profiles in Alert and push-to-talk radio. Antare records the whole shift and uses AI to review all of it; its cameras are lighter.
- Does ShopSafe ONE record all the time?
No. Colleagues start recording when they need to, and a 30-second pre-record buffer captures what happened just before. Incident-based recording is usually easier to justify in a data protection impact assessment than recording a whole shift.
- What happens to our existing footage if we switch?
Export anything you need to keep before your Antare subscription ends. Antare says footage still held is erased 30 days after the subscription ends. New footage from ShopSafe ONE goes to your secure evidence vault or straight into Alert.
- How much does ShopSafe ONE cost?
You can buy outright, hire, or take a Service Exchange subscription, which includes warranty cover for the full contract and 48-hour replacement. Pricing depends on device numbers and software, so book a demo or call 0345 350 3798 for a quote.
