EAS

What is EAS?

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)‏ – Most commonly known as “Tagging”, “Electronic Tagging” or “Security Tagging” or “Alarm Tagging “or “Alarm System”

EAS systems operate from a simple principle regardless of the manufacturer/technology:

A Transmitter sends a signal at defined frequencies to a Receiver. This creates a surveillance area, usually at a checkout aisle or an exit in the retail stores. Upon entering the area, a tag or label with special characteristics creates a signal, which is detected by the receiver and triggers an alarm.
