- Where can I buy security tag systems?
- How much do security tag systems cost?
The cost of security tag systems can vary widely depending on factors such as the type of technology, the size of the store, the number of detection gates needed, and the type of tags used. Generally, initial investment might be higher for more advanced systems, but this can be offset by the reduction in theft.
- What maintenance is required for security tag systems?
Regular maintenance of security tag systems can include testing the system components, replacing faulty tags, and ensuring that the deactivation devices are functioning correctly. JKI Distribution offers maintenance packages to ensure ongoing system effectiveness and reliability.
- How effective are security tag systems in preventing theft?
Security tag systems are highly effective in deterring theft, as they make it difficult for shoplifters to leave the store without detection. Studies have shown significant decreases in shoplifting incidents following the installation of EAS systems.
- Are there different systems for different types of stores?
Yes, security tag systems can be customised to fit the specific needs and layout of different types of retail stores, from clothing boutiques to large supermarkets. Factors such as the store's size, type of merchandise, and typical customer flow will determine the best type of system to install.
- What is the installation process for a security tag system?
The installation process for a security tag system typically involves setting up detection units at store exits, attaching tags to merchandise, and training staff on how to use the tagging and detagging devices. It’s essential to work with experienced installers like JKI Distribution to ensure the system’s optimal placement and performance.
- Can security tag systems be integrated with other security systems?
Yes, security tag systems can often be integrated with other security systems, such as CCTV cameras, inventory management systems, and customer entry-exit counting systems, to provide comprehensive retail security solutions. At JKI, our experienced team will be able to provide advice and guidance on integrating your chosen security tag system.
- What types of security tags are available?
There are several types of security tags, including hard tags, which are reusable and typically used on clothing; soft tags, which are disposable labels used on items like books and cosmetics; speciality tags designed for items like glasses, jewellery, or liquor bottles; and spider tags, which are wrap-around tags for items that are difficult to tag otherwise. Take a look at our magnetic release tags here.
- How do security tag systems work?
Security tag systems work by using magnetic, acoustic-magnetic, radio frequency, or microwave technology to create a monitored zone, typically at a store's exit. Tags or labels attached to merchandise interact with this technology. If a tag that has not been deactivated or removed passes through this zone, the system detects it and sounds an alarm.
- What are security tag systems?
Security tag systems are part of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) technology used primarily by retailers to prevent shoplifting. These systems utilise tags or labels that are attached to merchandise; these tags trigger an alarm when they pass through detection systems installed at store exits without being deactivated or removed at the checkout.
