The 3 Wise Men of Checkpoint...

Three epic figures tower over the retail security landscape.

First we must salute the wounded soldier in the field. QS has stood tall for around 20 years. We salute you QS and the many forms you have taken. QS2000 is especially near and dear to all of our hearts with its timeless metal look, and it's unwavering functionality over the many years of service.

Checkpoint Liberty, you have advanced the fight against shoplifting in ways that can not even be put into words. Your soldiers have kept the shrinkage levels of Target, CVS and the Gap in check. During the difficult days of 08' and early 09' it was you Liberty, that survivors looked to in order to keep the stealing gangs at bay. Your early ip integration and your RFID preparedness shone like a beacon in the darkness of night. We salute you Liberty, and we look forward to your continued service.

And our new Commander, Evolve. Checkpoint Evolve means one thing, DOMINANCE! Evolve, simply said, is the most intelligent and sophisticated line of EAS shoplifting defense systems ever conceived and fielded by man. Evolve relies on Military grade detection technology to seek out and detect security tags. Once a tag has been detected preventing theft is just a matter of going through the motions. Evolve is able to determine whether a tag is entering or exiting a retail store. Evolve is customer first EAS. Never before has a loss prevention security tag system been devised with this level of customer friendly ideology while still delivering industry standard setting detection. Evolve, you will lead us into the future.

Checkpoint Evolve

It's the newest and the greatest. From the door to the floor these systems have amazing new technology. More to come...

Security Tags From Linda's Stuff

Thank you Linda. Linda of Linda's Stuff (the eBay super shop) just hooked us up and now you to can get hooked. After purchasing a great Gucci belt from Linda we got IM'ing and I was informed that a huge amount of her brand name goods come in with security tags still attached. She was sitting on a huge stock pile of used sensormatic security tags. Now this was music to my ears. Nothing makes my day like recycling someones garbage into a useful crime fighting tool. That's what I call good citizenship. I got a great deal on my belt and an even better deal on the tags. Everyone is welcome to join in on the security tag savings derived from our recycling program. The belt is all mine though, sorry. I promised Linda's Stuff I would pass along my great story. If you need designer goods, furniture, art work, or almost anything else, check out Lindas stuff. They have nice people on the phones and great pricing. I promise all of your orders will come with the security tag preremoved.

The Power Pad

God bless America and the Sensormatic Power Pad. America is the greatest country in the world and the Power Pad may very well be the best deactivator in the world. Power pads picked up where Rapid Pads left off. Rapid pads have been available at great pricing for years, but the new low cost of power pads accompanied by their superior technology has made them an irresistible upgrade. You get 300% performance improvement at a great value. Just when we were getting nervous that receding rapid pad supplies were going to cost the consumer much needed security dollars, Power Pads are heeding the call and saving the day. Be on the look out for Power Pad price reductions across the board as various dealers attempt to bring competing large quantities to market simultaneously.

Fall is in the air...

Fall is a beautiful time of year across the country. The daily routine normalizes as children settle into school. October brings Halloween which flows into Thanksgiving and then into Christmas. Retail crowds swell and shoplifters use customers as cover. That's right shoplifters use average customers as human shields. They crouch behind them, bump them, and even dialogue with them in attempts to camouflage their true purpose. No one anti shoplifting element can deter these scoundrels from plying their craft. There is hope however, Security Tags in conjunction with CCTV systems and attentive staff members can keep a retail enterprise profitable.

MK225 or MK125

There are 2 Supertag Hand Detachers in the marketplace today. The MK225 and the MK125 are both somewhat reliable supertag detachers. The MK125 has a classic gun shape where the MK225 has more of a Star Trek Phaser thing happening. They both get the job done but the MK225 seems to last longer. The MK125 is a little easier to use for the old school generation. Either one will get the job done, but it's time Sensormatic invented a more reliable supertag hand detacher.

Sensormatic Supertags are Scarce

Many retail security tag suppliers are on the hunt for Sensormatic supertags of all models and colors. Supertag I's, II's, and Combos are the most popular while older tags like ultragators are found in abundance. Sensormatic has maintained a firm industry lead with it's benchmark security tag the supertag and this continues today. Retail security suppliers are scrambling to meet the needs of their customers while there just does not seem to be enough inventory to satisfy the beast. One place that supertags are in stock in abundance is securitytagstore.com. They have a huge supply of this hard to find gem. And they have it at the right price.
