How Chirp Protect Works
The Chirp Protect Retail Security System
Chirp Edge Hub
The Hub is the discreet command center of the Chirp Edge system, creating an invisible perimeter to protect your store’s exits and restricted areas, such as cafes, toilets, changing rooms, or upstairs sections.
- Invisible Shield: Creates an invisible RF signal barrier
- Adjustable Range: Tailor the coverage area to fit your store’s specific layout.
- Easy Installation: Simple, self-installation with minimal tools required.
ITS Box: The Intelligent Core
The “brain” of the Chirp Edge system, the ITS Box connects everything together and provides smart control.
- Central Alarm Processing: Listens for tag alarms and triggers appropriate responses.
- CCTV Integration: Seamlessly integrates with your existing CCTV system for enhanced surveillance.
- Customisable Actions: Configure the ITS Box to trigger internal alarms, external alarms, cameras, or other security measures.
- Additional Alarm: The ITS Box acts as an additional alarm, sounding alerts and providing messages when tag alarms are triggered.
Chirp Edge Tags
Chirp’s robust tags are designed to withstand tampering and continue to alarm even when removed from the store. They can not be deactivated by magnets and operate using RF frequency – making them some of the most secure tags on the market.
- Powerful, Localised Alarm: Sounds loudly if a tagged item crosses the perimeter.
- Tamper-Proof Design: Alarms instantly if tampered with or forcefully removed.
- Versatile Tag Options: Choose from a range of tag types to protect everything from apparel to electronics.
Deactivator

- Fast Deactivation: Quickly and efficiently disables tags at the point of sale.
- Non-Magnetic: No bulky magnets required, saving counter space and simplifying operation.
- Reliable Performance: Ensures consistent and dependable deactivation every time.
- Flexible mounting options: Can sit on top of your counter or be fitted underneath.
- Remote Deactivation: Easily deactivate tags on the shop floor and at Self Checkouts (SCOs) using the optional Remote Control deactivator.
