Capabilities of Original IPV Monitor With Advanced
Design Features, Numerous Media Options Engineered for
Retail
THOROFARE, N.J., Jan. 30, 2013 –
Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CKP), a leading
global supplier of shrink management, merchandise
visibility and apparel labeling solutions for the retail
industry and its supply chain, today announced its
latest innovation: the
Interactive Public View (IPV) Enhanced monitor.
Improving on popular features from the original IPV
monitor, like stylish look, remote low-voltage power and
the ability to integrate with additional Checkpoint
products, the IPV Enhanced now offers programmable pre-
and post-event recording, triggered or sequenced media
playback, and a built in file browser.
The IPV Enhanced was designed to be used as a loss
prevention tool and an in- store marketing communication
vehicle, where ads, videos and announcements can be
displayed through any combination of customized looping
still images and video clips. Loss prevention partners
helped Checkpoint Systems design the alarm-driven
screens, complete with audio, video, images and/or live
camera feeds when someone enters a high-shrink aisle or
activates a nearby system, such as an EAS pedestal or
smart shelf. Alarms may be activated by video motion, up
to four contact closure inputs or by Checkpoint’s
innovative wireless option. The new monitor also
displays live video full-screen or as a
picture-in-picture.
To enhance theft deterrence, the IPV Enhanced can
record, playback, and store event video to removable
flash memory. Retailers can show an “instant replay” of
a triggered event as it is occurring—a unique feature
that tells would-be shoplifters that their actions have
been captured. The new monitor produces video that may
be recorded by any standard surveillance system—allowing
it to function as a stand-alone device or as part of a
building-wide security solution.
Its network capabilities allow easy management of new
media and interactive functions via LAN/WAN or Internet
connections using Checkpoint’s IPV Network Application,
a utility software that allows the customer to transfer
information. Messaging rollouts to stores are now easily
accomplished by configuring a setup file and loading it
at a central location and downloading it to the monitors
chain-wide.
“Public view monitors are a proven tool to combat shrink
in retail,” noted Farrokh Abadi, president and COO,
Checkpoint Systems’ Shrink Management Solutions
business. “Working closely with our retail customers
allowed us to prioritize the key features they most
wanted in an IPV that will allow it to be used to sell
more and lose less. The additional capabilities offered
by the IPV Enhanced allow retailers flexibility in their
branding messaging as well as an effective shoplifting
deterrence tool.”
