Imagine an attacker breaking into a space and immediately losing their sight. Security fog systems do just that. They deter advanced burglars and instantly fill a space with dense, harmless fog when they detect an intruder.
They work with existing alarm systems to prevent theft and remove visibility in seconds. This forces intruders to leave the premises before they can steal valuables or cause damage.
How security fog works
A fog security system activates the moment an intruder triggers the alarm. The system releases a harmless fluid made from glycol and water. When heated, this liquid transforms into a thick vapour that’s ejected from strategically placed units throughout the protected space.
The dense fog reduces visibility to near zero within seconds. Intruders can’t see where they’re going, leaving them no choice but to flee.
Key benefits of security fog
Security fog generators offer several advantages over traditional security measures:
Complete visibility removal: The fog is so thick that intruders cannot see or approach valuable items, stopping theft in its tracks.
Safe and residue-free: Despite often being called security “smoke” systems, security fog uses no burning or combustion. The vapour is harmless to humans, it will not damage lungs, has no smell, and leaves no residue behind.
Product protection: The fog is food-safe and won’t tarnish or damage goods. This makes it ideal for retailers, jewellers, and museums with high-value or sensitive items.
Prevents multiple threats: Beyond theft, security smoke fogging deters vandalism and can reduce the risk of violence during break-ins.
Real-world applications
Spaces that are regularly targeted by burglars or that have high-value items benefit significantly from fog security systems.
Food retailers can protect stock without contamination risks. Jewellery shops can safeguard costly items. Museums and galleries can protect irreplaceable artefacts and artworks. The system is residue-free, so there is no damage to delicate items.
Amulet’s supply chain partner uses visibility-reducing fog systems for exactly these applications. The service can be part of Amulet’s wider burglar alarm systems and our Command and Control Intelligence Centre. It operates 24/7/365 as a remote security monitoring hub. The fog can complement your company’s emergency response procedure, deterring attackers alongside triggered alarms and immediate response.
