Retail Security Systems & Sales Information
Logiscan Security Systems Ltd are able to provide powerful retail security solutions ranging from CCTV systems with in built analytics which will monitor customer flow, dwell times, article protection and links to Point of Sale equipment to Electronic Article Surveillance* (EAS) equipment and people counting systems.
Video analytics can be used to track the movement of people around a retail environment and from this data provide estimates of queue length, waiting times at checkouts, attraction of point of sale materials and optimal flow patterns around the store.
Logiscan Security Systems Ltd specialises in extracting this information from existing security CCTV infrastructure thereby providing an additional benefit from the existing investment and allowing surveys to take place without affecting the shop floor.
The video is converted into data thereby ensuring that customers are completely anonymous to prevent any issues under data protection.
What is a Tagging System?
A tagging system comprises of a transmitter, receiver and a tuned circuit (a tag). The majority of tagging systems are presence only detection systems. When a tag is put into the field, the field is detuned and this detuning is detected by the receiver. The receiver has many high Q filters to reduce the risk of false alarms. The receiver has to look at more than one frequency (sweep).
Single Pedestal Systems (XL SUPRA MONO, 8.25 MHz)
These systems combine a transmitter and receiver in one aerial. Lower frequencies are used for these systems, normally below 3.25 MHz. Generally 1.95 MHz is used for RF (Radio Frequency) systems but has limited capabilities ie. cannot use paper labels. The XL Supra Mono systems operate on 8.25 MHz allowing the use of paper labels on a single pedestal system. (1.95 MHz versions are available but are not compatible with paper labels).
Dual Pedestal SystemsS (XS NUDA, XS SUPRA and XL SUPRA, 8.25 MHz)
These systems consist of a separate transmitter and receiver, making them capable of covering greater distances.
RF Systems operate at 3.25 MHz, 4.75 MHz and 8.25 MHz. They give a high pick rate >98% when using hard tags.
When using multiple transmitters, slaving is necessary.
An RF System offers the following benefits:
- Well established technology with a significant cost saving on tags • Offers entry level (single pillar) systems for smaller garment retailers
- Large tags present a strong visual deterrent to shoplifters • The ability to detect paper labels as well as hard tags
*Electronic Article Surveillance is a way of protecting a retail store’s merchandise.
