What is a security fog cannon? Posted on October 31, 2023May 6, 2025 by Marcus The security fog cannon is becoming increasingly popular in recent years. The fog cannon is considered one of the most effective security devices in preventing theft. Unlike the traditional alarm system, which only intimidates the intruder, the security fog system actively prevents crime, by surrounding the burglar with thick, white fog. The security fog cannon is a security measure that acts as a powerful deterrent against criminals and minimises losses in the event of a break-in. A security fog cannon is a device designed to prevent theft and burglary by discharging a dense, white fog that disorients intruders and makes it difficult for them to see and steal valuables. It is hictypically connected to a security system and can be triggered automatically in response to a break-in or activated manually by the property owner.

Fog cannons are for everyone! Nowadays, the fog security system is not limited to bigger businesses, as the variety of available fog cannons also meets the needs of smaller businesses and private households owners. The fog cannons come with different fog volumes and functions, making them suitable for various room sizes and security needs. Fog cannons are used for protection of all kinds of spaces – from small stores to the largest warehouses. How do security fog cannons work? Fog release The fog in the security fog cannon is created from a fog fluid solution, which usually consists of 2 harmless ingredients: water and glycol. The fog cannon heats up the liquid and discharges it through a nozzle, as a dense, white fog. The fog is safe to inhale and is usually made dry to prevent electronics damage. Functions of security fog cannons Fog cannons have flexible emission volume and time settings. Finding the right fog cannon model that meets a room’s specifications is crucial. Security fog cannons also differ in size and weight. Some fog cannons even allow for corner-, ceiling- or hidden installations. Since the fog cannon is a security device it also comes with an impact-resistant steel casing. Security fog accessories Adding accessories such as a security strobe light or alarm siren to your security fog system can increase its effectiveness in disorienting intruders and making them flee. Usage scenario of a fog cannon: Many fog security systems allow for a panic-button solution to shoot out fog with a click of a button. Moreover, fog cannons can be connected with any alarm system. When the alarm gets triggered, the fog cannon shoots out immediately, filling up the room with fog and preventing visibility. The security system notifies the police, but it takes on average 15 minutes for the police to arrive. When burglars break in, the fog cannon discharges fog, which fills the room in seconds and securely covers valuables. In nearly all cases, burglars flee right away when encountered by the dense fog, unable to neither see nor steal anything. Those few individuals who do not flee right away, struggle to navigate around and cannot see any valuables or even their hands. Which forces themto quickly escape the property through the fog. The security fog completely obscures visibility in a room for up to an hour. Fluid-based fog cannons are safe for electronics, harmless to the body, and environmentally friendly. Note: Maintenance and safety of fog cannons Since the fog cannon is designed for security purposes, quality and maintenance of the machine is crucial. Fog cannons come with a diagnostic software and require a service check once a year. If you’re interested in purchasing a fog cannon for your business or home, contact your local distributor.
