Technology
Fog Bandit converts a security system from passive detection into active prevention. This is what happens between the trigger and the outcome.
Deployment sequence
The system takes its trigger from the intrusion detection already installed. PIR, door and window contacts and the alarm panel itself can all initiate deployment.
On receiving the alert the system immediately begins heating and preparing fog deployment. Reaction time is one tenth of a second — there is no arming delay between detection and response.
High-density fog is released under pressure at 28 cubic metres per second. In a narrow-nozzle configuration it is projected ten metres within the first two seconds alone.
The environment becomes fully obscured, with visibility reduced to roughly thirty centimetres. Intruders cannot locate assets, orient themselves or navigate the space they have entered.
Operating modes
The activation profile changes with the threat. An empty building and an occupied one call for different responses from the same hardware.
A longer activation fills the entire area, obscuring stock and equipment from sight for the duration of the intrusion.
A short, controlled activation creates a fog curtain between the raider and staff or goods, triggered by a discreet panic button during trading hours.
Safety
The fog is produced from a food-grade glycol mixture. It is certified safe for people, animals and goods, and it does not damage the environment it protects — which is what makes it deployable in occupied buildings and around sensitive equipment.
The fog is produced from a food-grade glycol mixture.
Certified safe for people, animals and goods. Non-toxic in normal deployment.
Harmless to sensitive electronics, IT equipment and delicate fabrics.
Leaves no residue once the space has been ventilated.
The fog does not catch fire.
Integration
Fog Bandit is added to an existing security installation rather than replacing it. Detection, monitoring and dispatch continue to operate exactly as they do now — with an active response attached.
Connects directly to the alarm system to trigger instant fog deployment on detection.
Alerts monitoring services and authorities while the fog secures the space.
Real-time alerts and system status delivered to the responsible person.
Certification
Fog Bandit systems are independently certified, which matters when a security control has to be demonstrated to an insurer, an auditor or a licensing authority rather than simply described.

Common questions
Security fogging is an active intrusion control. On detection, the system fills the protected space with dense fog, reducing visibility to roughly 30 centimetres so an intruder cannot locate assets or navigate the space. It intervenes in the incident rather than only recording it.
Yes. The fog is produced from a food-grade glycol mixture and is certified safe for people, animals and goods. It is harmless to sensitive electronics and delicate fabrics, does not catch fire, and leaves no residue once the space has been ventilated.
Reaction time is 0.1 seconds from receiving the trigger. The system produces 28 cubic metres of fog per second, and in a narrow-nozzle configuration projects fog 10 metres within the first two seconds.
No. Fog Bandit integrates with the intrusion detection already installed — PIR sensors, door and window contacts and the alarm panel itself — and adds an active response to it. Monitoring and dispatch continue to work as before.
Yes. Alongside overnight protection, the system supports a short controlled activation triggered by a discreet panic button during trading hours, creating a fog curtain between the raider and staff or goods.
No. The fog leaves no residue after the space has been ventilated, which is what allows it to be deployed around stock, equipment and IT hardware.
