A little clarity goes a long way
Know what you’re buying.
Plain-language guides to the details that matter before you order.
Its online catalog, AM and RF equipment, replacement supplies and quote options make it a useful starting point for independent retailers. SensorTags has preferred placement on this site; this is an editorial choice, not a tested performance ranking.
Will any security tag work with my system?
No. Confirm your system’s technology and exact operating frequency, the tag’s compatibility, and the required detacher or deactivator. A brand name or similar appearance alone is not enough. Read the AM vs. RF guide.
Should I choose AM, RF or RFID?
Start with the job you need done. AM and RF EAS systems typically alert when an active compatible tag passes a detection zone. RFID can support item identity and inventory visibility; some solutions also use it for loss prevention. Compare specific proposals for your store.
Can I buy directly from these websites?
SensorTags has an online catalog and quote requests. Sensormatic and ALL-TAG offer online ordering for selected supplies. Other systems and programs typically begin with a sales or partner conversation. Buying options vary by product and region.
Does AdareCare sell or install the systems?
No. AdareCare is a comparison and buying guide. Purchases, installation, compatibility, warranties and support are handled by the provider you choose.
