How does a PROTECT Fog Cannon™ machine work?
Fog machine units work by filling the rooms with dense fog in a matter of seconds upon unscheduled entry or break-in. This effectively stops burglars in their tracks by obscuring everything they have come in to steal.
There are no limits to which valuables and spaces can be protected by our Fog Cannon™ fog machine units. Fog Cannon™ fog machine units omit what resembles smoke, which is completely safe and harmless.

Are Fog Cannon™ fog machine units Safe?
The fog emitted by Fog Cannon™ fog machines has been extensively tested in laboratories and found to be harmless to humans, animals, fixtures, machinery and IT equipment.
What is the fog made of?
The fog fluid used in Fog Cannon™ fog machine units is created using a combination of glycol and water that is forced through a heated element. This is the same substance used in smoke machines you may have seen utilised in stage performances.
Do Fog Cannons still work if the power has been disconnected?
Fog Cannon™ fog machine units will still activate even if the power has been disconnected and the alarm has been cut off. The cannons have an emergency power supply that will keep the cannon powered for up to 3 hours.
How do I remove the fog?
The fog is very dense but will dissipate within twenty minutes if the building is well ventilated. Ventilation should be actioned within one hour after the fog cannon has been triggered.
If triggered, will I need to replace the fog supply?
The cannon needs a supply of fog fluid to work. We monitor when the fluid is getting low and make sure you are always well prepared. There is also a “beep” to indicate a low tank.
Can the Fog Cannon™ be used in rooms of any size?
Fog Cannon™ fog machine units can be used in all types of rooms from the small to the very large. Our security consultants will assess your building and recommend a solution to suit your requirements.
Is the Fog Cannon™ dangerous to an intruder?
The purpose of the cannon is to obscure and protect your property, preventing theft or damage to your property, not to cause bodily harm. The Fog Cannon™ fog machine doesn’t cut off access to an intruder who wants to escape the same way they came in when confronted with a blast of fog!
What does the fog smell like?
The fog has a slight smell of peppermint.
Can a Fog Cannon™ fog machine operate during business hours?

If a robbery occurs during work hours, the fog cannon can be activated by staff using an emergency button, effectively deterring assaults, robberies and burglaries, protecting your business as well as your staff.
Are Fog Cannon™ fog machine units expensive?
No, Fog Cannon™ fog machine units use little power and relative to the cost of your property, are a great investment. Your insurance company may even give you a discount for using one!
