Exacq Technologies, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, announces an integration with the Sensormatic Synergy electronic article surveillance (EAS) detection product from Tyco Retail Solutions.
The multi-national says that the combination of exacqVision video management system (VMS) and the Synergy EAS Series gives retail customers an interconnected Tyco solution to capture loss event data with video.
Synergy pedestals offer retailers a modern design to blend into the retail store with capabilities such as Acousto-Magnetic (AM) detection and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) item level reporting. The Synergy pedestals capture loss prevention data to create a surveillance zone at store entrances and exits. When an alarm event occurs, the system notifies store staff when someone exits the store or if merchandise has the EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) tag attached.
With the exacqVision integration, retail customers have an added layer of video surveillance and real-time loss event insights. Retailers can see live video images of the alarm event, or search previous EAS system events and see the corresponding exacqVision video at the time of the event. An exacqVision video recording can be triggered based on EAS pedestal alarms including jammer and metal foil detection, blocked sensor or deactivator offline, power save on or off, tag too close or alarm count. This integration enables retail store managers to identify suspects.
This integration requires exacqVision server version 7.6 and Sensormatic Synergy firmware 101.03.00 to connect the Sensormatic pedestals and manage data output. Go to www.exacq.com.
