A REACTION GAP
Bandits know police need time. Alarms don't really defend until police arrive; until then bandits have the place to themselves. Smash and grab burglars especially benefit from 'verified' alarm policies, that add even more minutes.
EASY ESCAPE
Your crooks are probably career crooks, past their 'first strike'. Not getting caught drives all their decisions. ...robbing you is actually a second priority. Bandits need escape routes and love back doors, alleyways, neighboring lots, etc.
LOW DENSITY AREA
Populated areas have more people to call 911. Quieter areas encourage entry violence, because bandits can be as loud as needed, and the sooner in, the sooner out. Some crooks think nothing of crashing a car through doors, windows, even walls.
The best sites avoid confusion with smoke from a fire
Safety and security go together when we address the risk of confusion.
FOG LOOKS LIKE SMOKE
Security fog is white and stable, so passerby are justified in mistaking it for smoke. Un-crook-like, visually legit, smells and behave very differently, so fog professionals can tell you.
SOME SITES ARE PERFECT
Secluded buildings get hit. Burglars pick the quietest hours, which automatically shrinks the risk of honest citizens reporting a fire. That makes for a good site. When security protects, folks are sleeping.
SOME ARE NOT
Imagine the chaos if fog poured out of an apartment building? Security fog should never protect places that are obviously wrong. Are there going to be lots of people around the time burglars are likely to hit?
YOU NEED TO NOTIFY
Window decals, letters and even optional audio modules are some of the ways we avoid confusion. At FlashFog we set you up to do information they know easily. After 26 years we really know this part well.
IT MATTERS
FlashFog can transform smooth and grab statistics for whole communities, specially when the city mobilizes. Fire and smoke have fire worth investigating and need to be addressed square on.
WE HELP YOU NOTIFY
We guide you in registering with first responders, achieving clear disclosure at the site and in training everybody, helping keep track with your local police and fire departments, and transfer our well-learned best practices.
Fire departments
Citizen-oriented jurisdictions want you to work with them. They understand crime can literally force you to shut-down, and that no barrier can stop (for example) a car being crashed into a store. You will need to show clear efforts in avoiding false fire alarms and in communicating that security fog is installed.
The perfect sites are actually the ones that burglars prefer...
Understanding criminal behavior helps us deploy more effective security
VENDING AND ATM
Instant security, like a guard, in highly exposed, high-value targets.
WAREHOUSES
Amazingly, it's cost effective to protect giant spaces. Also, we secure caged areas.
SMALL COMMERCIAL
These common burglary targets can be defended to military standards.
VAULT
We protect cash processing operations at all stages.
PLAZAS, STRIP MALLS
Retail and commercial plazas make the bulk of civilian installations.
REMOTE
Cottages, rural cell phone towers, research stations. Anywhere where police need additional time.
SUPERSTORES
For everywhere we concentrate security fog where the bandit aims. Protect huge open spaces!
MALL
We have seen crooks driving a car inside malls to hit a jewelry store. We can work with mall management.
CAMPUS
Combine security cameras and remote activation. Protect no-go zones. Channel intruders. Work with less guards!
What about homes?
The Rolls-Royce® of home security
HOME INVASION
If bandits show up, turn your home against them. You know every detail of the space because it's yours. FlashFog's powerful security fog gives you a huge advantage. Protect common areas, especially near external doors.
ULTIMATE PANIC ROOM
The ultimate protection is having a prepared defense. FlashFog gives you every advantage, so you get to the safety of your panic room. You can also put a small unit inside, as an additional barrier.
PRACTICE MATTERS
The trick is to prepare ahead, so that under stress, everybody falls back on their training. We encourage you and your family to plan and practice the escape. Activations typically only cost around ten dollars!
ONE ROOM AT A TIME
Security fog doesn't flow naturally from room to room. Smash & grab is all about speed, so we recommend you treat each room as separate.
PERFECT FOR RURAL
FlashFog is widely used by folks in rural communities.
OTHER ROOMS
Residential FlashFogs are commonly found in master bedrooms, entertainment rooms and home offices. We also see use in garages, protecting very special vehicles.
FlashFog security was reviewed by the National Pawnbroker's Association magazine, and won Rookie of the year at the 2007 Pawnbroker's convention.
