Checkpoint Systems “For Dummies” (part II)

May 9, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

There is the possibility of a Checkpoint security system going into alarm without someone actually stealing something. This is because Checkpoint systems are tuned and manufactured to alarm when they see 8.2 MHz. While it is a unique frequency, many things in an environment can produce, if only for a moment, the frequency the system is trying to receive. Let’s go back to the analogy of the radio in your car. Sometimes when you are driving and you pass underneath the big high voltage power lines or a semi-truck passes you, you will here static on your radio. The same is true for Checkpoint security systems. “Static” on occasion could cause a system to false alarm but instead of it being high voltage power lines it could be the vibration in the electric door.

Checkpoint labels are made up of a coil of metal specifically designed to alarm Checkpoint security systems. Any merchandise that does not have Checkpoint labels attached to them will not alarm if stolen. I know this might seem silly to some people but there is an assumption by some that an electronic article surveillance system has the ability to “know” when an item has or has not been purchased. These Checkpoint systems are not integrated directly to the point of sale or use telepathy to determine whether or not an item has been properly purchased.

Once someone has placed Checkpoint labels on the merchandise of their choosing, that item will alarm the Checkpoint security system if not deactivated. The deactivation process takes place at the point of sale. What happens is a deactivation device is placed under the counter or inside the scanner of a cash register. This device emits an RF field similar to that of the Checkpoint security systems antennas at the front door. Unlike the field at the front, this field is significantly stronger but in a more confined space. When a label passes through the invisible field, the RF energy being created causes the coil of metal inside the label to be physically altered. Once this has taken place the Checkpoint labels are no longer at 8.2 MHz and will no longer alarm a Checkpoint security system.

To be continued…

Fool me once… Don’t get ripped off buying a Checkpoint Security System

April 11, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

A few days ago I received a service call from a new client who needed service on an existing Checkpoint security system. The problem he was having is that two days after the system was installed it started to false alarm. After talking with the gentleman I found out that he had purchased the system from an uncertified company that was selling “refurbished” Checkpoint systems.

He had attempted to contact the company he had purchased the Checkpoint security system from but they were giving him the runaround and were not making any efforts to resolve his problem. After being unsuccessful with the “reseller of his refurbished system” he contacted Loss Prevention Systems, Inc. We promptly setup a service call scheduled for the following day. Upon arriving onsite the technician discovered what the problem was… everything.

The problem with an uncertified “reseller” is that they have not been adequately trained nor do they have the correct equipment to install a Checkpoint security system properly. If you have someone who does not know what they are doing, you risk a similar situation. From the unique type of wire that is used to the software that programs an antenna, only someone factory certified on Checkpoint systems will be able to ensure that your system will operate at its highest efficiency.

The “reseller” also sold this gentleman what he thought were Checkpoint labels. The problem was that the Checkpoint labels he bought were actually an aftermarket knockoff. These knockoff labels are very unreliable. Checkpoint labels are very hard to copy, these company’s that try to duplicate a label usually have at least one of two problems. Either a large number of labels will not alarm the system or it’s what is referred to as a “stubborn” label, which means that the label will not deactivate at the time of purchase and causes a properly purchased item to alarm a Checkpoint security system when your client leaves the store.

If you are considering purchasing a Checkpoint system, don’t make the mistake of using an uncertified reseller. Let us help you get the right parts at the right price the first time.

Visit the Retail Loss Prevention Store and stop shoplifting once and for all with a real retail theft prevention program.

What anti shoplifting efforts are effective?

April 9, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Anti shoplifting is the topic around many retail water coolers.

Honestly, one of the most impactful anti shoplifting devices anywhere is a savvy manager. Knowing what tools he has and needs and making a conscious effort to execute each appropriately can be the best for anti shoplifting.

Outside of the savvy manager, the next best tool for anti shoplifting is a Checkpoint Security system.

About 5 years ago, I walked a store that just had a Checkpoint Security System installed. Walking the various aisles, and inspecting the different merchandise, it was very apparent this store was using checkpoint labels and checkpoint tags. The Checkpoint Security System was up and running.
Weeks before, I had been in this store. Literally, it was being overrun with shoplifters. I walked in the front door, and was immediately confront by the manager on duty who told about a thief that just ran out of the back door with a bag of merchandise. Incredible? Indeed.

Too often I heard of this store getting ripped off by thieves because the store had no anti shoplifting program. The thieves knew this, and took advantage.

Almost immediately after installing the Checkpoint Security System and placing checkpoint labels and checkpoint tags on merchandise, shoplifting decreased. In some estimates, instances of shoplifting were reduced by as much as 70%. This was huge for this store.

A Checkpoint system can save you from a lot of headaches in your business. As a professional in the field of loss prevention and an advisor, I would recommend nothing less than solid store management that communicate company expectations, execute programs and ensure compliance. These managers would have the notion to ensure each of their stores was secured with a Checkpoint Security system.

Checkpoint Security Systems save retailers bottom line

April 7, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Checkpoint Security Systems have been around for years. Their effectiveness has been proven time and time again. However, there are still businesses out there they are either not using a Checkpoint Security System or not using the Checkpoint Security System effectively.

It’s one thing to invest your money into a product that has little value or that is disposable but will give you quick profit if marketed, merchandise and positioned appropriately. It’s another thing to invest your money into a product and not use it. True with many retailers today, a product like Checkpoint Security systems not being used or used effectively.
Checkpoint Security Systems offer the merchant visible presence to deter the professional and amateur thieves.

A manager and I were monitoring the Checkpoint Security System from his office one day. We saw an unusual looking customer enter his store. This guy was talking on his cellphone, paying more attention to the employees than the merchandise. He walked down aisle after aisle. Making his way back, he stopped at the health and beauty section of the store. He picked up a box of aspirin, looked at it and put it back. He picked up another. We weren’t sure what he was doing. On his third inspection of the aspirin box, we noticed him trying to peel the checkpoint labels attached to the product. Checkpoint labels make a great visible deterrent. The customer moved to another aisle, hair care. He picked up a bottle of shampoo, another one with Checkpoint Labels. Obviously upset, the customer uses his cellphone. Whoever he is talking with, he was not happy.

After reviewing footage from other theft incidents at this store, it was determined the customer we observed had been suspected in merchandise theft previously. Now that this store had a Checkpoint Security System, this customer lost his livelihood.
