Security Fog Systems
for Active Intrusion
Protection
Remove the intruder's visual advantage. Help protect your people, assets and business with an active security fog solution designed for high-risk commercial environments.
What Is Security Fog?
Security fog is an active security response technology that works with your intrusion detection system. When an intrusion is detected, the fogger rapidly fills the protected area with dense, white fog, making it difficult for intruders to see and navigate, helping to prevent theft, vandalism or further damage.

How Security Fog Works
A simple, effective process designed to respond when it matters most.
Detect
Intrusion system detects unauthorized activity.
Trigger
Alarm system verifies and triggers the fogger.
Deploy
Dense white fog is rapidly released into the area.
Disrupt
Visibility is significantly reduced, helping drive the intruder toward an exit.
Stop Smash-and-Grab Thefts
in Seconds
Secure gambling machines, video gambling and slot machines, poker slots, gambling game rooms, gaming zones and amusement gaming machines, as well as ATMs, liquor stores, gas stations, restaurants and other high-risk commercial environments with alarm fogging devices. When an intrusion is detected, dense security fog rapidly fills the protected area, dramatically reducing visibility and making it difficult for intruders to locate valuables or continue the theft.

Designed to Disrupt
Smash-and-Grab Intrusions
Traditional security systems can detect an intrusion and alert monitoring personnel, but intruders may still have time to locate and remove valuables. Security fog introduces an active response layer by rapidly removing visibility, making a difficult intrusion far less effective.
Important Information for Fire Departments & Authorities
Does it trigger
from heat?
No. The fogger only deploys when ordered by the intrusion alarm system.
Is it combustible?
No. Density security fog is water-based and non-combustible.
What happens
during a fire?
The fog dissipates quickly in the presence of flame or high heat.
Does it affect
egress?
The system does not deploy from the fire alarm and is designed to drive intruders toward exits.
What about emergency responders?
Police and fire personnel can see through the fog using thermal imaging devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 What is a security fog system?
A security fog system is an active intrusion protection solution that rapidly releases a dense, white fog when an intrusion is detected. The fog reduces visibility within seconds, making it difficult for intruders to see, navigate, or locate valuable assets.
02 How does a security fog system work?
A security fog system works by connecting the fogger to an existing security or alarm system. When an intrusion is detected and the fogger is triggered, it rapidly releases security fog into the protected area, reducing visibility and disrupting the intruder's ability to proceed.
03 Can a security fog system be integrated with an existing alarm system?
Yes. Security fog systems can integrate with existing intrusion alarm and security systems. When an alarm event meets the configured trigger conditions, the fogger can be activated as an additional layer of active intrusion protection.
04 Does security fog damage equipment, inventory, or property?
Security fog is designed to provide rapid visibility reduction without leaving conventional residue on protected equipment or inventory. However, the appropriate fog system and installation should be selected according to the environment, equipment, and manufacturer's specifications.
05 Is security fog safe for occupied commercial environments?
Security fog systems are designed for specific commercial security applications, but suitability depends on the system, installation, environment, and manufacturer's safety requirements. Proper system design should consider occupants, ventilation, emergency procedures, and applicable regulations.
06 Is security fog the same as smoke?
No. Security fog is different from smoke. Security fog is generated specifically for security applications to rapidly reduce visibility during an intrusion event. It is not produced by combustion and is intended to create a temporary visual barrier rather than a fire condition.
07 Can security fog be used in jewelry stores and retail stores?
Yes. Commercial security fog systems can be used in environments such as jewelry stores, retail stores, convenience stores, grocery stores, warehouses, and other high-risk commercial facilities where rapid intrusion disruption may provide an additional layer of protection.
08 Does security fog contain harmful chemicals?
The composition of security fog depends on the specific system and fog fluid used. The security fog solution referenced on this page uses a water-based formulation. Always follow the manufacturer's product specifications and safety documentation when selecting and installing a fogger system.
09 How quickly does a security fog system activate?
A security fog system is designed to rapidly deploy dense fog following a valid trigger event, helping reduce an intruder's visual advantage within seconds. Actual activation and deployment performance depends on the specific fogger model, installation, room size, and system configuration.
10 What businesses can benefit from a security fog system?
Security fog can be considered for businesses and facilities where rapid intrusion disruption is important, including jewelry stores, retail stores, convenience stores, grocery stores, warehouses, commercial facilities, and other high-risk environments. It can work as an additional security layer alongside surveillance, intrusion detection, alarms, and monitoring.
