Is the building right?

Suited precisely where burglars aim to hit

 


FlasFog sites:

Can be any size

But you don't always need to fill the whole place

Do not invite confusion

Not prone to passerbys thinking it's a fire

Response delayed

Police (or you) can't get to the burglars on time

Often low density

And secluded, flanked by large parking lots

Collaborate in the escape

Near highways and freeways

Keep getting hit

Burglarized even with gates, window film, bollards.


Image

What about homes?

FlashFog is the Rolls-Royce® of home security.


Against home invasion

The house needs to fight. Protect kids' bedrooms, master suites and other high value targets. Our panic room solutions are the best area denial money can buy.

Protect each room
The fog doesn't flow naturally from room to room, at least quickly enough. Piping security fog is possible sometimes.

Instructions:

Match the size of the room where burglars are headed:

Considerations:
  • Ceiling height
  • Wall ratio (square vs. rectangular)
  • Air volume taken up by the goods being protected
  • Air circulation blockage
  • Vents, fans
  • Ceiling height
  • Wall ratio (square vs. rectangular)
  • Air volume taken up by the goods being protected
  • Air circulation blockage
  • Vents, fans
Adjusting for ceiling height:
  • For every additional foot (30 cm.) in ceiling height, use this same table, but assume a 10% bigger floor area

Figure out yout times:

  • Time to breach?

    The clock starts when the alarm activates.

  • Time to start stealing?

    How long until

  • Decide adequate fill time

    Be specific: for the target area; for the whole room?

Strategy #1: Fog everywhere

Used in most “normal” spaces

  • One of our eight models will probably fill your room in 40 seconds or less.
  • It’s like a filling a glass with milk
  • Spectacular

Strategy #2: Concentrate

Medium rooms. Large rooms. Huge warehouses...

  • Target the highest value asset first
  • Let the protection expand

Focused saturation maintains a protective cocoon. Put a strobe or sound barrier to localize even more hell.

Two strategies

You can fill the whole space, or only where the crooks are headed.

NOT "all or nothing"

Smash and grab bandits aim well, and so can you.

Bandit entry



Low density is perfect

Some retail, commercial and industrial buildings encourage bandits.  Secluded and flanked by large parking lots they are naturally quiet and hard to get to. This isolation also makes them ideal to protect with security fog. 

Can be any size

FlashFog's output is so incredible that building size is not an issue. The right approach however matches risk to fog unit location and output.

Are not prone to confusion
Imagine the chaos if fog poured out of an apartment building! It would look like smoke from a fire. Nobody wants this and is the wrong use. Some sites are ideal, some are not.

            FAQ

            How long does it take?
            FlashFog is great at locations that are quiet and vulnerable at night. Typically there is next to no traffic when they hit. This is precisely what attracts smash and grab!
            Square footage

            Building size is usually not an issue, because FlashFog's output is just incredible. The right approach however matches risk to fog unit location and output.

            Building type

            Retail, commercial and industrial usually work great. Residential use, specially in multi-occupancy units is discouraged.

            Possible confusion
            Imagine the chaos if fog poured out of an apartment building! Nobody wants this and is the wrong use. Some sites are ideal, some are not. Ideal sites are quiet at night, or under direct control during the day.

              Blue steps denote decision points. Orange is where the bulk of the labor is. Grey steps are to be carried out by the alarm company, unless you are activating via a dedicated alarm panel. Purple are after-install steps.

              • Pharmacy

                Early in the morning two masked burglars smashed through the door. They ignored the siren and their hoods made camera identification useless. They knew police response time was on their side, even if only for two minutes.
