When Smoke Screen fog generators deploy, intruders are stopped instantly, losses are prevented, and businesses remain untouched. No headlines, no drama—just effective crime prevention. That’s the challenge of our industry: the better we perform, the less there is to say. Yet behind the silence are powerful stories of protection, from jewellers to distribution centres, where security fog has neutralised threats before they even began.

Why Intruder Alarms Alone Won’t Stop Burglars Traditional intruder alarms make a lot of noise — but noise alone won’t stop a determined thief. In most break-ins, criminals are in and out in under 90 seconds, long before keyholders or police can respond. That’s why more businesses are turning to security fog systems like Smoke Screen. When triggered, security fog instantly fills the area with a dense, safe mist that blinds intruders, protects assets, and leaves no damage. Add in powerful sound barriers and strobe lights, and you have a complete burglary deterrent that stops criminals in their tracks. Don’t wait until after a break-in — combine detection with defence for true protection.
