True-

But eas is most likely meant for smaller stores and not the small cornr shops of course eas from checkpoint has came down it cheeper becuse it uses Digital RF instead of sensormatics magnetics

You cant beat Checkpoint! Sensormatic are rubbish - expensive for a piece of plastic. The Antennas on Checkpoint systems look styleish and they work really well.

True-

Checkpoints Digital RF Antenas Do Work Better Than Sensormatic Thats why i recently had a sensormatic system in my store replaced by checkpoint

The RF units don't interfere with some of the items. One store we fitted had a Sensormatic system which kept on going off when detagged products passed through them. We had to replace them with an RF unit similar to checkpoint.

well i'd like to see something to stop the shoplifters where i used to work... many people got pricked with hyperdermic needles trying to stop someone nicking chilled items!

sad to think that many are now terminally i'll because of this, the only voilent lifter i seen that didnt do much dammage was when he broke the manageress nose! so she got off lightly..

it is that bad where i live that the first to run off are the security guards, even when they use stabbie vests etc, needles usually get them somehow...

any ideas on how to deal with this? the police cant arrest them for shoplifting anymore lol (or lack of intrest on catching them for the same reason)

Target's sensors are alot less acurate as they are older outdated Checkpoint Models but still work ok for most uses
