Working in a mall setting, it can be a challenge apprehending shoplifters. It was even worse before we started using the Alpha 3 Alarm products by Alpha Security for our retail anti-theft devices.

I should begin by saying that our primary goal is always to recover the stolen merchandise. Given the choice between recovering our product and apprehending a shoplifter, we will always get our product back first. It is purely a financial decision – we want to recover our financial loss. That can include everything from trying to prevent shoplifting before it happens, to apprehending  a shoplifter.

We started to use the Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti-theft device for the simple reason that it is easier to track down our merchandise. When a shoplifter steals an item, we have to wait until he exits our store before we can apprehend. Unfortunately, we now have to contend with all of the mall shoppers. If the shoplifter starts to run, they can easily get lost in the crowd.

Not anymore though. The Alpha 3 Alarm gives an audible signal that lets us follow the product, even if the shoplifter discards the merchandise along the way. We can recover our product, even if the shoplifter manages to escape.

Your store probably has a basic EAS system installed already. You probably use antennas at the entry and exit doors and other retail anti-theft devices on your merchandise. Depending on your existing system, you might even have Alpha 3 Alarm products to prevent shoplifting.

Over time thieves (shoplifters or employees) will start to get creative in how they steal from your store. They might try to take merchandise into the restrooms or out of the back stock room.  Eventually, it is no longer as simple as protecting your main exit doors. You will need to find other tools or retail anti-theft devices to maintain or improve upon your current levels of inventory loss.

Since you already use Alpha 3 alarm to reduce theft it is easy to expand out and start using the Alpha Nano Gate to prevent losses at these alternative exit points.

The small design is the perfect fit for back exits and restrooms. The Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate has a battery backup that prevents the system from being tampered with. That point is important for these areas since these back rooms are generally not monitored and have a low traffic flow. You wouldn’t want a product to be easily defeated in a high theft area.

When you attach an Alpha 2 Alarm retail anti-theft device, you want to be sure it is going to do everything it can to prevent shoplifting. That is why when Alpha Security made their retail anti-theft devices like the Alpha 2 Alarm, they thought about every single component.

One of the most impressive parts of the Alpha 2 Alarm tags 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.

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 to cut this cable with everything from kitchen scissors to wire cutters and the cable will remain uncut and undamaged.

When you put a retail anti-theft device on your merchandise you want to ensure that it stays put and can stand up against tampering. The Alpha 2 Alarm tags will do just that.

Alpha Security created their Alpha 2 Alarm lanyard lock for more than just purses, even though this is one of the best uses for that particular type of EAS alarm.

The Alpha 2 Alarm is a versatile retail anti-theft device. It can prevent shoplifting of a wide variety of accessories. The lanyards are large enough to work with large totes and handbags. They are not so big that they would not work for the smaller wristlets that are in fashion right now. The lanyard can also be used for other suitcases and luggage.

The Alpha 2 Alarm retail anti-theft device is a small block (only a few inches long) that has a wire lanyard permanently attached at one end. The wire is a heavy-duty wire that prevents it from easily being cut. In order to protect your merchandise, the cable wire is covered in a protective coating. This makes sure the wire does not snag on any fabrics or decorative embellishments.

The other end of the wire remains loose until it is attached to the merchandise. Then the loose end is inserted into the block. There is a push button release for easy removal with a detacher at your POS.

Since the beginning of time, we have been bartering and selling wares to our neighbors and communities. Since the beginning of time, there have been those who are bound and determined to find ways to steal those wares. Shopkeepers have since been forced to find ways to prevent shoplifting.

If you fast forward to modern day methods, you will find one in particular has been a little difficult to combat – foil lined bags or jackets. If retail anti-theft devices (like an EAS tag) 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.

Alpha Security realized that this has been an ongoing problem and has made a new series of retail anti-theft devices including the Alpha 3 Alarm.

They have performed a series of tests where they wrap one of their Alpha 3 Alarm tags in a layer of foil. They measure the results and work up to four layers of foil. The second added layer creates a small bubble that the Alpha 3 Alarm tag doesn’t register in. However, increasing the layers does not increase that bubble.
