Fog Protect Systems Theft Prevention Services
In recent weeks here at Mercury Fire & Security, we’ve had several of our staff trained by Protect Global, suppliers of state-of-the-art fog cannons. We at Mercury Fire & Security see fog cannon systems—sometimes referred to as smoke cloaks—as an essential tool for safeguarding our customers’ premises in Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester. These systems are a game-changer in the realm of security, and we are proud to offer professional installation services for them.
Fog Protect Systems are sophisticated security devices designed to deter theft and trespassing by deploying a thick, dense fog that significantly reduces visibility. The principle behind these systems is simple yet highly effective: thieves can’t steal what they can’t see. When integrated with an intruder alarm system, fog cannons can fill a room with an impenetrable fog within seconds of a break-in being detected. This immediate response disorients and confuses the intruder, dramatically increasing the likelihood that they will flee the premises empty-handed.

This immediate response disorients and confuses the intruder, dramatically increasing the likelihood that they will flee the premises empty-handed.
How Fog Protect Systems Work
Here’s how Fog Protect Systems work: upon detection of an unauthorised entry, the system activates and releases a specially formulated fog that spreads rapidly throughout the area. The fog is created using a safe and non-toxic fluid that is vaporised to produce a thick cloud. This fog is harmless to people and property but creates zero visibility conditions, rendering it virtually impossible for the intruder to navigate or identify valuable items. The fog dissipates after a short period, leaving no residue and causing no damage to the premises.
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
One of the primary benefits of fog cannons is their ability to act as a formidable deterrent against theft. The presence of such a system can discourage potential intruders from attempting a break-in, knowing that their chances of success are significantly reduced. Additionally, fog cannons provide an added layer of security that complements traditional alarm systems. While alarms alert authorities and deter intruders with sound, fog cannons take it a step further by physically preventing the intruder from seeing or accessing valuable items.
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
The Installation Process for Fog Protect Systems
The installation process for fog cannons involves a thorough assessment of the site by our trained technicians. We evaluate the optimal locations for the fog cannons to ensure maximum coverage and effectiveness. Our team conducts a comprehensive survey of the premises, identifying key entry points and vulnerable areas that require protection. Based on this assessment, we design a customised installation plan tailored to the specific needs of the site.
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.

Conclusion
In conclusion, fog cannons represent a robust and proactive approach to preventing and deterring theft and trespassing. By creating an environment where visibility is completely obscured, these systems protect your assets and provide peace of mind. With their rapid deployment and effective deterrent capabilities, fog cannons are an invaluable addition to any security strategy.
