Retail security system

摘要

A security system for use in a retail environment, employs a number of tags attached to retail goods. The tags are deactivated when the goods are paid for. At least one electronic article surveillance (EAS) detector, positioned for example at a store exit, detects passage of active tags. When an active tag is detected, a signal is sent to a control computer, which triggers an image recording device, such as a CCTV camera attached to a video recorder. The recording device thus records a picture of any person who may be removing goods from the store without paying.
