I understand this to mean some electronic theft-prevention device. Would 'tagging' be alright here for 'Alarmado'. I'm obviously not going to say 'alarming'

alarm system


Explanation:
As this is a list, I would use simply alarm system.
Alarmado is a past participle used as a noun (like -ing words in English).
