On the ground

Apparel can be stolen
quickly and discreetly

A garment can be folded, slipped under another item, or put on underneath a coat. Unlike a boxed product, it leaves no packaging behind—the discrepancy only shows up during inventory.

Hence the choice of rigid tag rather than an adhesive label : visible on the shelf, it acts as a deterrent before any theft even occurs, and is then returned to the checkout to be used again.

Anti-theft gates at the entrance of a clothing store

Weak points

Four areas to secure

An effective system does not stop at the entrance; it covers the areas where theft is planned.

01 / ENTRANCE

Pedestal and storefront display

Visible deterrent

An entrance antenna influences behavior right at the threshold. For window displays, an acrylic model preserves the visual appeal of the merchandise arrangement.

02 / CABINS

Booth surroundings

Counting · Monitoring

We never film the inside of a fitting room—it is prohibited. However, monitoring the surrounding area and counting items at the entrance are permitted methods.

03 / STOCKROOM

Stock and back room

Internal theft

This is the least monitored area and where internal shrinkage is concentrated. Access control via badge and a camera covering the passageway.

04 / CHECKOUT

Checkout and returns

Disputes · Cancellations

Framing focused on the checkout counter and hands. This allows for resolving change-related disputes or verifying transaction cancellations.

Frequently asked questions

What we're asked

Can fitting rooms be filmed?

No, never the interior. Fitting rooms are spaces where privacy is protected, and a camera there would be illegal. What is possible is monitoring the surrounding area and implementing item counting at the entrance.

Hard tag or adhesive label for textiles?

The hard tag is the choice for the vast majority of cases: it is visible (acting as a deterrent), does not damage fabric, and is reusable. Soft tags remain useful for items packaged in boxes or blister packs.

How do you protect high-value items?

Using high-security tags that are harder to remove without a detacher, potentially combined with specific protection for the most vulnerable items. Shelf placement matters just as much as the tag itself.

What should be done during sales periods?

Peak traffic periods are when human surveillance tends to falter. This is where a system designed for high density—rather than an empty store—makes the difference. Also, remember to plan ahead for your stock of consumables.

Does the security gate interfere with the store layout?

Transparent acrylic models blend in without disrupting the window display, and some accommodate an advertising panel—turning the security gate into a communication medium.

Is authorization required for cameras?

Yes, for the sales floor (areas open to the public): authorization must be requested from the departmental prefecture. Stockrooms, however, fall under CNIL regulations and the data processing register.
