🛡️ What is an EAS System?
An Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system is a theft prevention technology used to detect unauthorized removal of items from a retail store or secure area. It uses electronic tags or labels attached to merchandise and antenna systems at exits that trigger alarms if items are not deactivated or removed.
