Chirp-Edge Hub:
The Hub is the discreet command center of the Chirp-Edge system, creating an invisible perimeter to protect your store's exits and restricted areas, such as cafes, toilets, changing rooms, or upstairs sections.
- Invisible Shield: Creates an invisible RF signal barrier
- Adjustable Range: Tailor the coverage area to fit your store's specific layout.
- Easy Installation: Simple, self-installation with minimal tools required.
ITS Box: The Intelligent Core
The "brain" of the Chirp-Edge system, the ITS Box connects everything together and provides smart control.
- Central Alarm Processing: Listens for tag alarms and triggers appropriate responses.
- CCTV Integration: Seamlessly integrates with your existing CCTV system for enhanced surveillance.
- Customisable Actions: Configure the ITS Box to trigger internal alarms, external alarms, cameras, or other security measures.
- Additional Alarm: The ITS Box acts as an additional alarm, sounding alerts and providing messages when tag alarms are triggered.
Chirp-Edge Tags:
Our robust tags are designed to withstand tampering and continue to alarm even when removed from the store. They can not be deactivated by magnets and operate using RF frequency - making them some of the most secure tags on the market.
- Powerful, Localised Alarm: Sounds loudly if a tagged item crosses the perimeter.
- Tamper-Proof Design: Alarms instantly if tampered with or forcefully removed.
- Versatile Tag Options: Choose from a range of tag types to protect everything from apparel to electronics.
Deactivator:
Streamline the checkout process with our advanced, signal-based deactivation.
- Fast Deactivation: Quickly and efficiently disables tags at the point of sale.
- Non-Magnetic: No bulky magnets required, saving counter space and simplifying operation.
- Reliable Performance: Ensures consistent and dependable deactivation every time.
- Flexible mounting options: Can sit on top of your counter or be fitted underneath.
- Remote Deactivation: Easily deactivate tags on the shop floor and at Self Checkouts (SCOs) using the optional Remote Control deactivator.
How it works:
Chirp-Edge simplifies perimeter security with a smart, streamlined process that protects your merchandise and enhances your store's environment. From tagging to checkout, here's how it works:
Attach a Chirp-Edge tag to each item you want to protect. We offer a range of tag types designed for various products, from clothing and accessories to electronics and hardware. The tags are tamper-resistant, meaning they'll also trigger an alarm if someone tries to remove or disable them.
The Chirp-Edge Hub, discreetly placed near your store's exits, generates an invisible radio frequency (RF) perimeter. This "shield" creates a boundary that tagged items shouldn't cross. The range of this perimeter is adjustable, allowing you to customise the coverage area to perfectly fit your store layout.
Need coverage for multiple exits, restrooms, or changing rooms? No problem. Simply place a Hub at each location to seamlessly extend the system’s protection area.
If a tagged item crosses the invisible perimeter created by the Hub, the tag immediately emits a loud, localised alarm, alerting your staff and acting as a powerful deterrent to potential theft. Even if a tagged item is removed from your store, the alarm will continue to sound until it is deactivated.
Chirp-Protect tags are also tamper-proof, triggering an alarm if anyone attempts to remove a tag without authorisation.
The ITS Box, the intelligent core of the Chirp-Edge system, instantly detects the alarm triggered by the tag. The ITS Box is more than just an alarm receiver; it's a smart control unit. You can configure it to trigger a variety of responses, including:
- Activating your existing CCTV system to record the event.
- Sounding an internal alarm to alert staff.
- Notifying your security team via a connected system.
When a customer makes a purchase, the tag needs to be deactivated. This is done quickly and easily at the point of sale using the Chirp-Edge Deactivator. Our advanced, signal-based deactivation method is not magnetic, so there are no bulky magnets to deal with. Simply pass the tagged item near the Deactivator, and the tag is instantly and reliably deactivated, ensuring a smooth and efficient checkout experience for your customers.
