Meet the Power Injector: Your New Security Superhero

This month, we’re excited to introduce the Power Injector. This handy sensor is perfect for keeping your laptops and tablets safe while ensuring they stay powered up. Here’s how it tackles some of the biggest challenges in retail security: 

Challenge: Many retail displays need both power and security for electronics. Traditional setups often involve separate systems for each, which can be messy and expensive. Laptops and tablets particularly need power so customers can check out the screen resolution, or browse through apps, and more.  

Solution: The Power Injector simplifies things by combining power and alarm functions into one sleek device. This USB-C sensor provides both power and security through a single, clean cable, and includes a security slot for attaching cable locks. It’s a hassle-free way to keep your devices both operational and protected. 

Problem 2: Lack of Visible Security for Laptops

Challenge: Without obvious signs of security, valuable electronics can be tempting targets for thieves. 

Solution: The Power Injector comes with a gold status LED that shows the power and alarm status of your device. This bright LED doesn’t just indicate that your device is secured; it also acts as a visible deterrent, making it clear that your electronics are protected. Additionally, using a cable lock can provide an extra layer of visible security, attaching securely to laptops and solid structures to deter potential thieves. 

Problem 3: Risk of False Alarms

Challenge: Sometimes, sensors get accidentally unplugged, causing annoying false alarms that disrupt both staff and customers. Protecting sensitive information by preventing false alarms is crucial to ensure the security of your laptop and any data it contains. 

Solution: To prevent this, the Power Injector features an optional adhesive flange that keeps the sensor firmly attached. This helps avoid accidental disconnections and keeps your store running smoothly without unnecessary interruptions. 

Why It’s Great for Your Store

For Store Staff: The Power Injector makes life easier by combining power and security in one unit. Using a laptop security device can further enhance protection by providing a more secure layer of authentication for online accounts. This means fewer hassles with setting up and managing your displays. Plus, the LED status indicator allows staff to quickly check the security status of each device. 

For Customers: When devices are securely powered and protected, they’re less likely to be tampered with, which keeps your store looking professional and trustworthy. Plus, with the clear visual deterrent, customers can feel confident that your store takes security seriously. 

Upgrade Your Electronics Security with the Power Injector

The Power Injector is a standout addition to the Zips system, offering a smart and efficient way to secure and power your laptops and tablets. Protecting against theft and using appropriate software is vital for maintaining the security of your devices. Its blend of power and alarm features, along with the visible deterrent and tamper-resistant design, makes it an ideal choice for keeping your store’s electronics safe and your operations smooth.
