The World's Toughest Tamper-Proof Tags
Chirp Protect offers four distinct alarm tags designed to secure a wide variety of products across multiple industries. Each tag is simple to deploy, highly tamper-resistant, and instantly triggers a loud alarm when compromised. Seamlessly compatible with existing systems—such as CCTV networks and staff headsets—Chirp Protect creates a powerful early-warning solution that helps deter theft and enhance in-store security.
Rewriting the Rules of Retail Security with Chirp Protect
Alarming Product Tags
The product tag features a built-in 90-decibel security alarm that activates instantly if tampered with or removed without authorization. This immediate response helps deter theft in real time and enables staff to quickly identify and address suspicious activity.
Tamper Proof Tags
Chirp Protect tags are engineered to resist tampering and bypass attempts. Unlike traditional tags, they cannot be removed with magnets or disabled without triggering the alarm—making them a formidable deterrent against professional theft.
Connectivity
Chirp Protect tags seamlessly connect to our ITS Box, triggering instant alerts the moment they're activated. With integration across CCTV, headsets, and other security systems, staff can respond rapidly and capture clear, actionable evidence.
Post Exit Alarms
If a product with a Chirp Protect tag is taken beyond store boundaries, the alarm continues to sound—drawing attention and making it significantly harder for stolen items to go unnoticed. This persistent alert adds an extra layer of deterrence, reinforcing your security system even outside the store.

Stop Shoplifters in Their Tracks with Chirp Protect
Each Chirp Protect tag is tamper-proof, triggers an instant alarm at the first sign of interference, and integrates with headsets and CCTV for a complete, real-time security solution.
Wrap Tag
A retractable cable securely wraps around boxed or irregularly shaped items. The tag triggers an alarm if any part of the cable is tampered with, and cannot be removed using magnets—providing enhanced protection against theft.
Lanyard Tag
This cable-based solution secures items by wrapping around fixed points like handles. The tag instantly alarms if the cable is cut or detached, and cannot be removed with magnets—offering robust protection against tampering and theft.
Bottle Tag
Locks securely around the neck of high-value bottles. Binding cables tighten firmly to prevent removal, and the tag cannot be defeated with magnets—ensuring strong protection against theft.
Surface Tag
Adhesive-backed tag designed for flat, packaged surfaces. A built-in pressure switch triggers an alarm if forcibly removed, and the tag is magnet-resistant for added security.
Real-Time Theft Alerts—Right When It Happens
Chirp Protect tags trigger an immediate alarm the moment they’re tampered with or removed, alerting staff directly on the shop floor. Unlike traditional tags that only activate at exit gates, Chirp Protect alarms right on the product—providing instant, location-specific alerts that help employees respond quickly and stop theft in its tracks.
Even after leaving the store, Chirp Protect tags continue to sound, adding an extra layer of protection beyond the premises. Retailers have already seen this feature help recover stolen goods, with post-exit alerts prompting fast action and reinforcing Chirp Protect’s effectiveness as a powerful theft deterrent.
How It Works
All Chirp Protect tags operate on the same simple principle: they’re quick to attach, easy to activate, and straightforward to remove at checkout. Designed for efficiency, they integrate seamlessly into your store’s workflow while delivering powerful, real-time theft protection.
Tagging Your Merchandise
Simply attach a Chirp Protect tag to each item you want to secure. These tamper-resistant tags trigger an alarm if anyone attempts to remove or disable them—providing instant protection and peace of mind.
Creating the Invisible Shield
Each Chirp Protect Hub generates an invisible radio frequency (RF) perimeter that tagged items interact with. This customizable “shield” lets you adjust the coverage area to perfectly match your store layout.
Need protection at multiple exits, restrooms, or fitting rooms? Just place a Hub at each location to seamlessly expand your security network—ensuring consistent, real-time coverage wherever it’s needed.
Detecting a Breach
Chirp Protect offers two powerful systems to detect theft in real time:
Chirp Edge
When a tagged item crosses the invisible perimeter created by a Hub, it immediately triggers a loud, localized alarm—alerting staff and acting as a strong deterrent. Even if the item leaves the store, the alarm continues until deactivated, making stolen goods harder to conceal.
Chirp Zone
This system monitors proximity to the Hub. If a tagged item moves outside the designated zone, the alarm activates. Once the item returns to the zone, the alarm automatically stops—ideal for controlled areas like fitting rooms or restrooms.
All Chirp Protect tags are tamper-proof and will instantly alarm if someone attempts unauthorized removal, ensuring reliable protection at every stage.
Intelligent Response with the ITS Box
The ITS Box is the smart control center of the Chirp Protect system. It instantly detects alarms triggered by tags and coordinates a range of customizable responses to enhance your store’s security.
You can configure the ITS Box to:
Activate your CCTV system to capture the event in real time
Sound an internal alarm to alert staff immediately
Notify your security team through connected systems for rapid response
More than just an alarm receiver, the ITS Box transforms alerts into action—delivering a smarter, faster way to protect your merchandise.
Seamless Deactivation at Checkout
When a customer completes a purchase, Chirp Protect tags are quickly and easily deactivated at the point of sale using our signal-based Deactivator. Unlike traditional systems, there’s no need for bulky magnets—just pass the tagged item near the Deactivator, and the tag is instantly and reliably disabled. It’s a smooth, efficient process that keeps checkout fast and hassle-free.
Will It Work with My System?
Absolutely. Chirp Protect tags are fully compatible with both Chirp Edge and Chirp Zone systems, offering standalone protection without the need for gates or panels.
They also integrate seamlessly with existing RF and AM antenna systems, making them ideal for enhancing or expanding your current EAS setup without requiring a full replacement.
Chirp Protect is a future-proof solution—perfect for phased upgrades and mixed environments, giving you flexibility without compromising security.
