Sensormatic Digital DoorMax Security System

Happy holidays to all. We are just into Hanukkah and I have already received the best gift of all, my dream security system.

The Sensormatic digital Door Max, it has both visual and audio alarms and is the on of the smallest antenna systems on the market. This dual antenna Sensormatic system can be mounted on just about any surface: metal, wood, concrete, glass, wallboard, etc.

Yes that's right door frames and walls, meaning no mess floor mounting. No Drilling into tile, or cement floors. You'll never have to destroy your entrance again.

The Sensormatic Digital Door-Max Security System works on UltraMax technology and is the most aesthetically appealing antenna solution on the market. This dual antenna security system can cover up to a 6 ft exit. It is 72 in. Long, 2 in. Wide, and 9.5 inches in depth.

No matter what system you get, EAS is gift that keeps on giving. Month after month security tag systems stop shoplifting and prevents theft.

To recap compatible Sensormatic security tags: Super tags, Ultra Gators, and Ultra Max labels.

The big bad security system, and the little itty-bitty payment.

How do I get the most system and smallest payment?

That’s a great question, I’m glad you asked! A lot of people want to know if there are financing options when they buy EAS equipment; because we all know you can get it discount, but it’s not always cheap.

Most companies do not have financing options, but don’t fret.

Companies like PayPal are there to save the day. You can go to their website and apply for a line of credit, they offer several different options: installments, no interest options, no payments for a set period of months, etc. There are a couple good discount security tag stores that accept PayPal, and it’s a great option for stores starting out, or just opening another location.

It’s all about cash flow. If you can afford it, buy it outright. Many of us at one time or another has fallen into the “What’s most important right NOW” philosophy. Retail Loss Prevention financing options allow us to put the here and now together with what’s best in the long run.

Credit Cards are always a good option, but PayPal is under the radar and a great alternative.

The most expensive part of your retail security systems...cont.

Part 2

We promised you the ultimate Cheat sheet for understanding the relationship between your exit and your retail security system. Know your exit, know your exit, know your exit!

In this episode we will explain the Sensormatic acousto magnetic side of the industry. Sensormatic offers a wide variety of retail loss prevention systems: Ultra Post II, Digital Pro Max, Euro Pro Max, Euro Max Plus. Their security systems are known as the best in the industry and are proven to work in the toughest environments.

1. Ultra Post II – The UltraPost II is a transceiver. This means a single post can cover 3 ft in either direction (2.5 ft to be safe). Best use is as a multi post system, linking 2 pedestals together to cover a 6 ft exit. 2 antennas can be used to cover up to a 9 ft exit, and 3 towers can cover up to 15 ft, Ultra Posts should not be placed more than 6 ft apart. Alarms are both visual and audio.

2. Digital ProMax – The Pro Max is also a transceiver, this system can cover a 4 ft exit. 2 pedestals can be linked together to cover up to a 16 ft exit (12 ft to be safe). Do not place antennas more than 8 ft apart. 3 towers can be linked to cover up to 24 ft. The Digital ProMax is designed for high traffic areas and has both visual and audio alarms.

3. Euro ProMax – The Euro Pro Max is built on the same principle as the Digital Pro Max. It will cover the exact same distances, but was designed to be more aesthetically appealing. Perfect for those high traffic areas where looks are just as important as performance. Two antennas can cover up to a 16 ft exit, 3 towers can cover up to a 24 ft exit, Pedestals should be mounted no more than 8 ft apart. The Euro Pro Max had both visual and audio alarms.

4. EuroMax Plus – This system was designed for areas where appearance is the most important concern. Two antennas are meant to be linked together and can cover up to a 5 ft exit. This security also has both visual and audio alarms.

All of these Sensormatic security systems work on UltraMax technology, and are compatible with the Super Tag, SuperTag II, UltraGator, Combo Tag, and all Ultra Max Ultra-Strip Labels.

May your merchandise be safe and your shoplifters prosecuted.

What is the most expensive part of your retail security system?

Part 1

They are called antennas, or pedestals, also known as Towers. The savvy may call them receiver, transmitter, or transceiver. What ever you call it, it is the single most expensive part of a full retail security system. I say full retail security system because the detection system is useless without security tags of some sort.

Everyday people ask me for a Checkpoint Quicksilver Dual Antenna Detection System. I ask them the dimensions of the exit, and they tell me 8 ft. That's great if you want 5 ft of unprotected exit.

Sticking with our December detection system theme we are going to provide you with the ultimate shoplifting detection security system cheat sheet. This will be a two part posting, the first one being Checkpoint Systems and the second Sensormatic Systems.

Checkpoint has 5 detection systems: Quicksilver, QS 2000, QS 4000, Strata, and the Liberty.

1. Quicksilver – Consists of 2 pedestals, transmitter and receiver. Both are required for the system to work. The dual antenna system will cover a 3 ft exit. Additional pedestals can be added, each one expanding the exit 3 ft. Antennas can not be placed more than 36 inches apart. 3 towers will cover 6 ft, and 4 towers will cover 9 ft. There is no visual alarm on this Checkpoint model.

2. QS 2000 – Very similar to the Quicksilver, the major difference being that there are both visual and audio alarms on this Checkpoint model. Consists of 2 pedestals, transmitter and receiver. Both are required for the system to work. The dual antenna system will cover a 3 ft exit. Additional pedestals can be added, each one expanding the exit 3 ft. Antennas can not be placed more than 36 inches apart. 3 towers will cover 6 ft, and 4 towers will cover 9 ft.

3. QS 4000 – This system has both visual and audio alarms. Consists of 2 pedestals, transmitter and receiver. Both are required for the system to work. The dual antenna system will cover a 4 ft exit. Additional pedestals can be added, each one expanding the exit 4 ft. Antennas can not be placed more than 48 inches apart. 3 towers will cover 8 ft, and 4 towers will cover 12 ft.

4. Strata – The Strata pedestal is a transceiver. This means that a single antenna can operate by itself. The Strata is best used as dual or multi antenna system, designed to cover large exits and high traffic areas. Two Strata post will cover a 6 ft exit. Towers should be no more than 6 ft apart. 3 antennas can cover an 18 ft exit, and 4 antennas will cover a 24 ft exit. System has both visual and audio alarms.

5. The Checkpoint Liberty – This system works exactly the same as the Strata system. The major difference between the 2 systems is the appearance. The Liberty being a newer system is more aesthetically appealing. This system has both visual and audio alarms. 2 antennas cover 6 ft, 3 antennas cover 12 ft, and 4 antennas cover 24 ft.

We will break on this note,

Know Your Exit! Know Your Exit! Know Your Exit!!

Need to cover a 6 ft exit? What is the best Checkpoint Loss Prevention system for me?

The first question you need to ask yourself is: Do I need 2 antennas or 3?

Start by examining the amount of traffic through the exit. Will a third antenna in the middle of the entrance get in the way of large items or shipments coming in or out? If so, then a Dual Antenna System will be a better choice.

Checkpoint has two great Security Systems to cover a 6 ft exit, the Strata dual antenna system and the QS 2000 three antenna system. A Strata tower can cover 3 ft in direction and two can be inked to cover a 6 ft exit. A typical QS 2000 consists of 2 pedestals that can be placed a maximum of 3 ft apart. A third antenna can be linked to cover a 6 ft exit, the system you create two 3 ft aisles to pass through.

If your store has consistently high levels of traffic, then a three antenna system will experience more wear and tear. Ultimately costing more in service and repairs. It can also slow the flow of traffic in and out. For this situation use the Strata dual antenna security system.

If the exit is surrounded with lots of merchandise, especially directly next to the Strata antennas it is possible for them to pick up more interference (false alarms). In this case would recommend the QS 2000 with the expansion antenna to cover the 6 ft exit.

No matter which EAS solution you choose a high quality, refurbished and tested Checkpoint Security System will should last 8 to 10 years.
