Checkpoint security systems have come a long way since their humble beginnings in Philadelphia. You might not know this but Checkpoint Systems was originally designed for libraries and it wasn’t until later that they became the retail anti theft devices that you know today.
A Philadelphia library was having a problem with patrons leaving the building with books that they had not checked out. This was causing a significant amount of loss of books and ultimately money. Checkpoint systems realized that something needed to be done and designed a contraption that used RF (radio frequency) energy to detect Checkpoint tags that had been placed inside the library books.
The original Checkpoint security systems looked similar to the metal detectors that you have to walk through at the airport. With advancements in technology, came smaller and better antennas. These are probably the ones you are most familiar with. I still see this style of Checkpoint security system antennas or Checkpoint labels on clothing in television shows and movies.
As well as the “legacy” equipment worked, there was always one constant flaw. The Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels would pickup differently depending on how they were facing. If the tag were facing sideways or horizontal it would be detected better than if it were forward facing. This would cause a gap or a hole in the system making it easier for items to leave the premises without being detected.
With the release of the new Evolve antennas, this problem was finally resolved. The Checkpoint security systems Evolve antenna is designed with 360 degree rotating detection field. This means that when tagged items go through the retail anti theft devices, they will be equally detected no matter which way they are facing. This new design truly is a game changer. With the use of an Evolve Checkpoint security system, preventing loss just got a whole lot easier.
