How Fog Protect Systems Work
The process begins with sensors that detect an intruder through various means, such as motion detectors, door and window sensors, or other security systems. Once triggered, the fog cannon’s high-pressure pumps instantly release the fog, which can fill an average-sized room in a matter of seconds. This rapid deployment ensures that the intruder is immediately enveloped in the dense fog, which not only obstructs their vision but also induces a high level of disorientation and confusion.
The Benefits of Fog Protect Systems
These systems are particularly effective in protecting high-value assets and sensitive areas. Retail stores, warehouses, and offices with expensive equipment or confidential information can greatly benefit from the added security of fog cannons. They are also ideal for environments that require quick response times to prevent significant losses, such as jewellery stores, art galleries, and data centres.
The Installation Process for Fog Protect Systems
Once the plan is finalised, the fog cannons are installed at strategic locations throughout the facility. The system is then seamlessly integrated with your existing intruder alarm, or we can supply both the alarm system and fog cannons as a comprehensive security package. Our installation process is designed to be efficient and minimally disruptive to your daily operations. After installation, our technicians conduct thorough testing to ensure that the system is fully operational and performs as expected.
We also provide training for your staff on how to use and maintain the fog cannons, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment. Regular maintenance and periodic testing are part of our service offerings to guarantee that the system remains effective and reliable over time.
