How to set alarms in android?

Do barcodes printed onto products set of store alarms?

• i recently opened a small shop, i set up alarms and everything and all my products have barcodes on them that have magnetic strips on them to stop theives except makeup, which already has printed barcodes on them, which although you can peal off, are very easy to spot people doing it. recently i looked at stocks and realised alot of my makeup products are gong missing, i looked at some cctv and people are just picking it up and walking out the shop, why don t the alamrs go of? are printed barcodes able to set of alarms? the ones that come already on the product? thankyou

• Answer:

  upc (universal product codes) are not magnetic and will not set off the anti theft alarms. if you have alarms at the door the company should supply or at least know where to get the stickers that will set off the alarms. there is also a pad at the registers that will deactivate the magnetic tags. if all that is sold at your place of business is makeup then you may want to relocate your makeup supply closer to the register so that you can keep an eye out for shop lifters. do not keep makeup and lip gloss in the not so visual areas. you can even put the makeup close to the register but not close to the door. this way your point of sale is far from the door because it isn't theft until it goes past the point of sale.
