What is Chirp Zone?

Chirp Zone is a zone-based anti-theft system that uses self-alarming security tags to protect specific areas of your store or stand. Instead of relying on fixed EAS gates, Chirp Zone creates a virtual perimeter that triggers an alarm if tagged items are taken outside the defined zone.

This makes it ideal for:

• Pop-up shops and temporary retail units
• Exhibitions and trade shows
• Stores with open layouts or multiple exits
• High-value product displays
  
  

How Chirp Zone Works

At the core of the system is the Chirp Zone Hub. Using an adjustable dial, you can set the effective range of protection – whether it’s a small radius around a single display, or a wider zone to cover an entire stand. Multiple hubs can also be linked together to create larger or irregularly shaped protection zones.

The system is smart too:

• Tags remain dormant until they enter the zone, so they’re silent and unobtrusive.
• Once active, tags will alarm immediately if moved beyond the perimeter.
• Alarms sound instantly, alerting staff before stock leaves the area.
  

This plug-and-play installation means Chirp Zone can be set up in minutes – no tools, wiring, or bulky barriers required.

Security Tags That Stop Booster Bag Theft

Chirp Zone tags are designed to protect against both casual theft and organised shoplifting tactics. Two options are currently available:

• Surface Tag – secures boxed products, electronics, or packaged items.
• Lanyard Tag – ideal for bottles, handbags, accessories, or awkward shapes.
  

Unlike standard tags, Chirp Zone tags are the only retail security tags on the market that alarm when placed inside a foil-lined bag. This means shoplifters can’t bypass your security with concealment methods – giving your staff time to react and protect stock.

Integrate with ITS Box for Enhanced Security

For stores that want to go even further, Chirp Zone integrates seamlessly with the ITS Box. This powerful add-on provides:

• A louder, centralised alarm that grabs attention fast
• Integration with CCTV systems, so alarms trigger instant recording
• Headset alerts for staff, enabling rapid response to theft attempts

By connecting Chirp Zone with the ITS Box, you get a complete store security system that works in both temporary and permanent retail environments.
