Anti-Theft Detectors

Anti-theft Detectors

Door alarms that sound when they detect signals from the tags in merchandise are well-developed aspects of security. In effect, an alarm goes off whenever a shoplifter tries to walk out with an un-purchased item. You’ve probably experienced them first-hand. I’ve only witnessed the device in effect when the cashier forgot to remove the activated tag of an innocent customer’s item, but the effectiveness of the alarm was still readily noticeable as the alarm immediately focuses everyone’s attention on the customer at the door who, if stealing, would have a hard time escaping. Their presence alone discourages shoplifting because it presents another obstacle for thieves to bypass and their successful functionality enforces it. Door alarms are usually implemented in addition to on-site security guards, video surveillance systems, and by making items hard to remove by bolting them down, attaching cables and putting things behind display counters. Combinations of anti-shoplifting methods including door alarms effectively decrease the prevalent problem of loss prevention that can cost large department stores billions of dollars a year. Without this solution, stores would be forced to raise their prices to compensate for the loss and thus make it difficult to compete with the store next door, especially if they are successfully discouraging shop-lifting.

These door alarms are perfect for retail stores or other location-based stores of all sizes.
