How EAS Anti-Theft Systems Work
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) works on a simple yet highly effective principle
EAS Tags/Labels
Small electronic tags or labels are securely attached to merchandise, containing special circuits designed to interact with detection systems.
Detection Antennas
Strategically placed pedestals at store exits emit radio frequency or acoustic-magnetic fields to detect tagged items.
Alarm & Deactivation
If an active tag passes through the detection zone, an alarm sounds. At checkout, tags are removed or deactivated.
