What do cars and clothes have in common? Both have alarms on them that people have stopped paying attention to. Retail theft prevention needs to find a way to get past the false alarm and really start to prevent shoplifting.

Alpha Security systems are designed with a retail anti-theft device (like their Alpha 2 Alarm or the Alpha 3 Alarm) and some sort of transmission system like a pedestal or the Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate.

These components come in a variety of applications and specializations. They also provide specific levels of protection.

For an item like a high theft, expensive handbag you might want an Alpha 3 Alarm. The alarm will activate not only if the tag is tampered with, but will also provide an audible directly from the tag if the handbag is removed from the store without being deactivated. It is handy if the bag is concealed as the method of theft.

If your retail anti-theft device needs are simple, use an Alpha 2 Alarm product. It will only activate if tampered with and the door alarms will sound if not deactivated. That is good for products where someone tries to take merchandise out of the box/packaging to steal it, like electronics or power tools.

One of the most impressive parts of the Alpha Security Alpha 2 Alarm retail anti- theft device is not the actual alarm or the technology that is carried inside of these little devices. What is really impressive is the security cable that wraps around the merchandise and connects the tag.

When you attach the Alpha 2 Alarm, you want to be sure that it is going to do everything it can. That is why when they made their Alpha 2 Alarm to prevent shoplifting, Alpha Security thought about every single component.

This security cable is specially designed to not be cut. There is an exterior coating that protects your merchandise from catches and snags. The interior is super strong while remaining thin and pliable. You could try everything from kitchen scissors to wire cutters and the cable will remain uncut and undamaged.

Try as they might, shoplifters will not stand a chance of defeating these tags by trying to cut the cables. As we all know, if you can’t get the retail anti-theft devices off of the merchandise without a hassle, a shoplifter will put the item down and walk away.

If you look at modern day methods of shoplifting, you will find one in particular has been a little difficult to combat – foil lined bags or jackets. When retail anti-theft devices are concealed in the foil lining of those bags or jackets, it potentially will not register an alarm like it is supposed to. The thief can remove the tag at their leisure in their own private surroundings, once they have safely exited the store without detection.

Alpha Security, knowing that this has been an ongoing problem, has made a new line of retail anti-theft devices known as Alpha 3 Alarm.

They have preformed a series of tests where they envelope Alpha 3 Alarm products in a layer of foil. They measure the results and work up to four layers of foil.

What they found was the second layer that was added creates a small bubble that the Alpha 3 Alarm tag doesn’t register in. However, increasing the number of layers of foil does not increase that bubble.

Alpha 3 Alarm products secure the merchandise better to prevent shoplifting of those items, compared to other manufacturers retail anti-theft devices.

We recently re-designed the tool area of our store. Because the new area is a closed off horseshoe shape, it was deemed a corral. The concept was to reduce our shrink in power tools. If the shoplifters only had one way in and one way out of the department, there would be a greater chance of them being detected. Unfortunately, this didn’t work as well as expected so we went to plan B – Alpha Security’s Alpha Spider Wrap.

With no one watching the area, it didn’t matter how few exits there were out of the department. What did work was the implementation of our Alpha Spider Wraps. Since they are attached to the outside of the boxes of our high theft power tools, there was now a means to permanently prevent shoplifting regardless of how many labor hours involved.

The best part about having the Alpha Security Alpha Spider Wrap in play is that they are equipped with an Alpha 2 Alarm.

Simply put, the Alpha 2 Alarm is an upgraded retail anti-theft device that sets off alarms at the doors if they are not properly deactivated. Additionally the Alpha 2 Alarm is a tamper evident alarm. If someone tries to remove or otherwise tamper with this retail anti-theft device, it will give an audible alarm to prevent shoplifting.
