Security is one of the major concerns of companies today, especially those that accumulate high-value assets. Having good protection systems such as video surveillance, access control or anti-theft fog is essential to minimize risks and have a greater guarantee of security.
The anti-theft fog, for example, is a very efficient system against theft situations that is not very well known or used by companies. If you want to maximize the security of your business, do not hesitate and contact us to receive a personalized proposal.
What is anti-theft fog
A security fog system, commonly known as anti-theft fog, is a security environment designed to prevent and deter theft in commercial establishments, businesses, and other places where valuables are stored.
Anti-theft fog is used as an effective deterrent, as criminals often leave the scene immediately due to the impossibility of carrying out their criminal activity in dense fog. In addition, the system is usually connected to an alarm that alerts the authorities or a private security service in real time when triggered, enabling a rapid response.
How anti-theft fog works
The operation of this system is relatively simple, but very effective: when an intrusion or burglary attempt is detected, the system releases a dense fog or opaque vapor in the protected area in a matter of seconds.
The smoke is generated mainly with water vapor, accompanied by glycol, a substance that when in contact with water generates a much denser smoke (commonly used for shows or filming).
This fog is harmless to people and does not cause physical harm or property damage, but its density and opacity can be sufficient to disorient intruders, hindering their ability to see, move or carry out the theft.
There are advanced anti-theft fog systems that are capable of nullifying visibility in an area of 300 to 400 square meters, making them especially useful in industrial environments or large areas.
How long does it take for anti-theft fog to minimize visibility?
Although much depends on the area to be covered, these systems are capable of overriding visibility in a matter of seconds. For example, an area of 100 m² can be covered in just 10 seconds, while an area of 400 meters could be covered in just one minute.
What are the advantages of anti-theft fogging over other methods?
Anti-theft fog systems are becoming more and more popular due to the multiple benefits they offer, among which it is worth mentioning:
Theft deterrence
Thanks to the fact that this system manages to eliminate the visibility of the assailants or thieves, they will flee the area, making them a very interesting deterrent to prevent robberies.
No consequences for people and materials
Thanks to the use of water vapor and other non-harmful substances, the anti-theft fog can be used without any risk to people or materials. This smoke has no negative consequences on people’s health, both in the short and long term.
Flexibility to cover different areas
These systems can be adapted to the specific needs of the company, whether it is a small area such as an office, the company’s warehouse, or a large industrial area.
Fogging has the ability to adapt to different areas, so this system can be applied in almost any environment.
Integration with other systems
The efficiency of security systems comes from the proper integration of different protection elements. The anti-theft fog, for example, integrates perfectly with other security elements such as video surveillance, alert systems and access controls, among others.
In Microsegur we offer an alarm verification service specialized in perimeter protection systems that can be perfectly integrated with anti-theft fog systems, thus raising the level of your security system.
Ease of installation
Installing this type of smoke generation systems is not particularly complex, so they can be implemented in any environment in a simple and easy way. In addition, its cost is quite tight, especially in relation to the many security benefits they provide.
It is important to note that this type of protection systems can be installed at home, as well as in companies, stores and industries.
Automatic activation
These systems operate autonomously and automatically, as they are activated when sensors detect a possible theft, preventing thieves from being able to see into the affected area.
Is anti-theft fog toxic or non-toxic?
It is important to note that this type of theft prevention system is non-toxic, since specially designed formulas are used so that the smoke is not harmful to people and material (most of it is composed of water vapor).
When the generated fog dissipates, both materials and people will not be affected, so health and integrity is guaranteed.
Anti-theft fog is a security technology that uses dense, opaque, harmless smoke to deter intruders and protect valuable property and assets. Its ability to thwart and delay criminals often makes it a very interesting and efficient option for burglary and theft prevention.
With our security access control system you can have an ideal protection environment for your company, controlling any person or worker accessing the different areas or zones.
