Everything Is In Working Order- Checkpoint Security Systems

Anti shoplifting tools are there to be used both during and after operating hours. Components like EAS devices deter and stop shoplifting during the day, while your Checkpoint security system protects your inventory at night. Just as you would perform a test of your EAS devices and towers, you should perform a test of your security system to make sure everything is in working order

The alarm test is actually pretty simple to conduct and should not take more than about twenty to thirty minutes, depending on the size of your store and the amount of access points to test.

Step one is to call the alarm monitoring company and tell them you are going to conduct a test of your Checkpoint Security Systems. They will place the system on test for you. This is extremely important to do first.

If your system is not on test mode, the alarms that you trigger will notify the police. You may be charged a false alarm fee by your city if the police have to respond.

Next walk through your store. Make sure you walk past all motion sensors and open all doors that have an alarm. When you are done, call the alarm company back to have your system taken off of test mode.

You will now have a detailed list of all points that triggered. Any point that did not alarm that should have needs to have maintenance done immediately.

By ensuring that all points are working, you know that your store will be protected in the event of an after hour break in.
