How Do Checkpoint Security Systems Work?

There are many types of anti theft devices. Checkpoint security systems are one type. They are easy to use and available for every type of product. There are three components to Checkpoint security systems. The first is the checkpoint tags or labels are placed on your merchandise. There are hard tags that can be placed on clothing, or there are sticky label that can be placed on virtually any other type of product.

The second component is the device that either removes the hard tags or the deactivation pads that deactivate the labels. These devices are easy to use so it won’t take long for your employees to get into the habit of dealing with the system.  Checkpoint tags and labels are the highest quality in the industry.

The third component is the EAS (electronic article surveillance) antennas. There are a few designs to choose from giving you the option to have them stand out, which can be a theft deterrent all on their own, or you can have them blend in more so as not to detract from your store’s decor.

Once you have your Checkpoint security system EAS antennas installed you apply the checkpoint tags or labels to your merchandise. If someone tries to remove a tagged item from the store an alarm will sound when they pass by the EAS antennas. This alerts your employees that there is a potential problem and they can stop the person and resolve the issue.

It is extremely important to train your employees on responding to the alarms. If no one responds to the alarm the customer will leave. Studies show that most people only steal when they have the opportunity to do so. By responding to the alarms you take away their opportunity thus reducing your shrink rate and retaining your profit margin.
