General information on conservation - explanation of the technologies and concepts.

Planning for merchandise security is important. However, it's not necessary to conduct an on-site inspection. We strive to conserve resources in all areas. For example, many years ago we decided not to send employees across Germany by car to inspect an entrance on site, which you can easily send us via WhatsApp with a photo from your cell phone.

This is also one of the reasons why our merchandise security systems are more affordable, despite our superior quality and technology. Because conserving resources also saves you money.

We use article surveillance systems from Amersec, our long-standing partner in the Czech Republic. This makes us one of the few, perhaps now the only, companies that take a more "green" approach here. While our competitors ship their systems from Asia to Germany by plane or ship, we have much shorter routes.

1. Radiofrequency article surveillance (RF)

Advantages:

  • more cost-effective than AM systems
  • many designs
  • very large selection of fuses

Disadvantages:

  • Range smaller than with AM acoustomagnetic article surveillance
  • Can rarely or poorly be synchronized (coordinated with each other) with neighboring systems, so that technical limitations may occur, therefore not recommended for central locations
  • More sensitive to radio interference

With RF article surveillance, you can choose between very simple article surveillance systems, which we send to you ready to plug in for self-assembly, or the article surveillance professional systems, which our technicians install at your location.

2. Acoustomagnetic article surveillance (AM)

Advantages:

  • Typical entrances in retail stores are approximately 2m wide with inward-opening doors. With AM (acoustomagnetic technology), the article surveillance antennas can be placed behind the doors, at a passage width of approximately 230cm, and work perfectly there.
  • When installed by trained technicians and reputable providers, there are rarely any faults and error-free operation for many years
  • many designs, plexiglass, aluminum, advertising mounts, etc.
  • large selection of fuses

Disadvantages:

  • Greater range between the antennas also means greater detection into the store, thus more distance to secured goods (possibly use dummy security devices)
  • A wide range of accessories and systems can be found in the "Goods Surveillance" section

Goods security in leasing – beware of traps!

You want to lease a security device to put your money to better use than tying it up in a security device. A good idea in principle!

Speak to your tax advisor beforehand, as the security depreciates over 12 years. If you choose to lease the item and expense the installment immediately, there are certain conditions for doing so.

A 36-month term is not legally compliant for leasing an article surveillance system if you want to take advantage of the tax benefit!

We expressly draw your attention to the general terms and conditions for leasing merchandise security:

The lessee can then deduct the lease payments as business expenses. Depreciation for merchandise security: 12 years = 144 months x 40% = 57.6 months minimum term if the tax advantage is to be taken advantage of.

Full amortization leasing for merchandise security

The lease must be concluded for a specific period of time and cannot be terminated during this period if both parties properly fulfill the contract (no right of termination). This is the so-called basic lease period. During this basic lease period, the lessee's lease payments must at least cover the acquisition/production costs and ancillary costs, including the lessor's financing costs.

According to these two leasing decrees, the decisive criterion for the tax allocation of the leased asset is the length of the basic lease period: If it is between 40% and 90% of the normal useful life of the leased asset, calculated according to depreciation, it is allocated to the lessor.

All goods have depreciation periods (AfA = depreciation for wear and tear). For merchandise security systems, the tax office specifies a useful life of 12 years, over which the depreciation must be calculated. When leasing merchandise security systems, 40-90% of this period must be met:
