Wherever you live, the threat of burglaries or break ins is rife, but if you own a home or business in Athlone and you want to increase your security measures to protect your valuables, then you may want to consider adding a smoke or fog generator to your system.
Effective at deterring burglars
Fog generators are an effective way to deter theft. They create a thick cloud of fog that fills the room in 30 seconds, making it difficult for anyone breaking into your property to see what they're doing, which can help keep them from stealing your products or equipment! If they can’t see it – they can’t steal it.
They are simple to install and can be integrated into your current security system.
How they work
The fog or smoke generators need two triggers before they begin to fill the room with smoke. That way you can prevent the smoke being discharged unnecessarily. When a door or window sensor is activated, the alarm will sound, and then if the motion sensor picks up movement in the room, that is the cue for your fog generator to fill the room with smoke. Within 30 seconds the room is full of thick smoke, making it impossible for the thief to see their hand in front of their face, let alone search for valuable to steal. When this is part of your whole system, if your system is monitored, an operator may also notify the Garda that a break in is occurring.
Safe to use
The fog is non-toxic for humans or animals, because it's just water vapor with a little bit of glycol added as an emulsifier. It works by filling up the air in your space with tiny droplets of water so it looks like there is heavy fog outside on a rainy day.
This means that you don't have to worry about you, your family or your employees getting sick from breathing in this stuff all day long. With good ventilation such as windows and doors being left open, the smoke will clear quickly after a short while.
So if you have a room where you store valuables and you are concerned that any thief could get away before the Garda arrive, then a smoke or fog generator could give you the peace of mind that your valuable assets are safe.
