Kinds of the anti-theft systems for trading establishments of various type

Employees of retail facilities of any size, worrying about the safety of goods in stores and supermarkets, try to protect it from thieves by installing special anti-theft equipment for stores in their sales rooms - special protective devices.

Currently, there are four types of anti-theft systems, the principle of which is based on radio-magnetic, radio-frequency, acoustomagnetic and electromagnetic technologies.

Each of these options has its own characteristics, scope, advantages and disadvantages, however, before giving preference to a particular species, all aspects should be taken into account. Among the factors influencing the choice of equipment, the compatibility of markers and sensors with commodity items, the presence and level of interference affecting the quality of the device, the probability of using reusable remote controls and tags (the purchase of new disposable items for the reader will cost "a pretty penny"). It also makes sense for shop owners to pay attention to the width of the aisle where an anti-theft gate or frame is planned to be installed - it is possible that it will not allow buyers to move or leave the store without much difficulty.

The level of operation of the systems differs somewhat, for example, the highest degree of reliability - for an acoustic-magnetic system - about 95 percent, the radio-frequency principle is also very reliable-90 percent. In any case, before making a choice and purchasing anti-theft equipment for shops, you need to carefully study the factor of operation of the system when carrying the goods with a tag.

Anti-theft gates can be installed at the exit from the shopping center or at the ticket counter, in the aisle. Placement of a device for reading information at the entrance to the store costs the owners of supermarkets cheaper, but this principle is much less convenient than when installing a gate near the ticket office, since it requires the cashier to carefully inspect the goods and remove all tags and labeled labels previously fixed on this or that Subject.

Trying to find a "golden mean" between the cost and time costs, each of the manufacturers solves the problem of installing anti-theft systems themselves. Owners of large supermarkets, who receive a large profit, establish control systems at the checkout, which allows to reduce queues and increase turnover, the owners of small outlets prefer to save money on installing expensive equipment and put a "frame" on the output. In this case, it is serviced by the guard, deactivating the buyers' security items on the goods upon presenting the check for payment.

By the way, in itself protection, even not very reliable, can scare off thieves and thereby save the goods.

As for the elements that are recognized by the anti-theft gates, they can be in the form of a key fob, a tag, a labeled label, safes, etc., and if the product is particularly valuable, several levels of protection are used.
