Theft is a major problem faced by businesses of all sizes and industries. It can take many forms and it can cost companies millions of dollars every year. Mercury Systems can help you deter this, by implementing a Sensormatic system.

In this blog post, we will discuss the best features of a Sensormatic system for businesses dealing with theft.

EAS Technology

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) technology is the backbone of a sensormatic system. It involves the use of tags and labels that are attached to products or merchandise. These tags and labels contain a small electronic component that sends a signal to a receiver located at the entrance of the store or business. If an item with an active tag or label is taken out of the store without being deactivated, the receiver will sound an alarm. This technology is very effective at deterring theft and reducing losses.

CCTV Integration

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are another important feature of a sensormatic system. CCTV cameras provide a visual record of what is happening in the store or business. They can be used to monitor employee behavior, detect suspicious activity, and deter theft. When integrated with EAS technology, CCTV cameras can be set up to capture footage of the alarm going off when a tagged or labeled item is taken out of the store without being deactivated.

Deactivation Devices

Deactivation devices are used to disable the tags and labels attached to products or merchandise at the point of sale. This ensures that the tags and labels do not trigger an alarm when customers leave the store with their purchases. Deactivation devices can be integrated with the point of sale system to automate the deactivation process. This makes it easier for employees to deactivate tags and labels quickly and efficiently.

Remote Monitoring

Remote monitoring is a feature that allows store or business owners to keep an eye on their premises even when they are not there. This is particularly useful for businesses with multiple locations or for owners who are frequently on the go. Remote monitoring can be accessed via a smartphone app or a web portal. It allows owners to view live footage from CCTV cameras, check alarm status, and receive alerts if an alarm is triggered.

Analytics and Reporting

Analytics and reporting features are valuable tools for businesses dealing with employee theft. These features can provide insights into which items are being stolen most frequently, when theft is most likely to occur, and which employees are involved in theft. Analytics and reporting can also help businesses identify areas of weakness in their security systems and make improvements to prevent future theft.

In conclusion, a Sensormatic system is an effective tool for businesses dealing with theft. The best features of a Sensormatic system include EAS technology, CCTV integration, deactivation devices, remote monitoring, and analytics and reporting. By implementing a Sensormatic system, businesses can reduce losses, deter theft, and improve overall security
