High-quality electronic devices that are displayed for sale in retail stores are constantly at risk of being stolen. Loss through theft is a not inconsiderable cost factor in the electronics industry that needs to be decimated. But how can you as a retailer protect yourself from theft and what form of Anti-theft devices is there? We give you an overview.
The advantages of electronic line safety
The electronic line security (ELS) is a device for securing mostly high-priced and therefore theft-prone products in a sales display. This form of article surveillance is enjoying increasing popularity, as it enables the customer to present valuable objects in a sales exhibition such as B. can pick up smartphones, cameras, tablet PCs, smart watches, etc. and try them out. Gadgets of all kinds that are at risk of theft do not have to be kept behind glass, where they can only shine with their optical charms. The safety line ensures that the expensive objects cannot be removed too far from their presentation location.
What do we understand by line securing?
The line safety device is an anti-theft device, but at the same time it does not reduce sales promotion, because interested customers have the opportunity to pick up the desired product and test it. However, as soon as a safety cable is cut, a sensor is torn off or a predefined zone within the sales area is left, an alarm is triggered. This can be discreet as a warning for the customer, but it can also be loud.
Which products can reasonably be provided with a line safety device?
For electronic devices that can quickly disappear into a pocket simply because of their small size, a line safety device is attached. This includes tablet PCs, devices from the smart home sector and compact cameras, but it also makes sense to secure goods for smartphones and smart watches. A line safety device is not necessarily linked to a physical, cable-like connection, but wireless solutions are also available. The Invue 3000 series system offers a cordless line safety device that triggers a discreet pre-alarm when leaving a specified radius, which shows the customer that he is leaving the test area. Solutions of this type are also suitable for packaged items such as B. Perfume, spirits, textiles, shoes, etc.
Products behind glass
But there are also items that, when presented in a glass cabinet, have a sales-boosting effect - just think of watches and jewelry! With the Smart Lock from Invue, the seller opens the showcase with the OneKey using infrared technology. After the sales talk, the seller puts the item back, closes the door and Smart Lock automatically locks the door. This is a sales-promoting alternative to securing a line. Smart Locks are easy to retrofit and do not require an expensive power connection or a battery. The power is transmitted through the OneKey. Access Manager can also be linked to the software. This makes it possible to trace who opened which lock and when.
