1. A method for operating a security system in an environment including mobile point-of-sale (POS) components, the method comprising: acquiring and recording, using a server, an image of an object from one camera of a number of security cameras, each camera from the number of security cameras having position information and calibrated to identify other cameras from the number of security cameras in the vicinity of said each camera, calibration including field of view relations; providing, using one or more processors, the object with an identifier if the object meets predetermined criteria, the identifier provided to the object being a characteristic of the object; wherein said identifier provides a label for the object; said label being used in tracking the object from said one camera to said another camera, said label and said object constituting a labeled object; linking, using the one or more processors, the object with transaction data from a mobile POS component and location data for the mobile POS component; tracking, using the one or more processors, the object from said one camera to another camera in the vicinity of said one camera as the object moves; providing, using the one or more processors, video data for the object and the transaction data link to the object to the server, the video data for the object and the transaction data link to the object being stored at a database; utilizing the server to determine whether an event requiring an alert has occurred; and utilizing the server to manage alerts; wherein the utilizing the server to manage alerts comprises: determining a type of alert for the alert using stored logic methods; merging an identifying ID with the alert type; determining a location of the alert; and transmitting, using a transmitter and a preselected transmission method, the merged ID and alert type and the location to a predetermined site; wherein the server includes one or more other processors and one or more non-transitory computer usable medium that has computer readable code embodied therein, which, when executed by the one or more other processors, causes the one or more processors to receive the video data for the object and the transaction data link to the object, store the video data for the object and the transaction data link to the object in the database, and determine, using the logic methods, whether an event requiring an alert has occurred and manage alerts.
