Trusted by the world’s largest petrol companies Security fog has a preventive effect Petrol stations, situated in remote yet accessible locations, face higher vulnerability to burglary due to their isolation and ease of access. The remote location means that burglars often feel more at ease when targeting these places, as they can avoid being seen by too many people. Criminals frequently target cash, tobacco, and alcohol, drawn by the high resale value of these items. Moreover, damages to the property incurred during break-ins may not always be covered by insurance policies, compounding the financial impact on station owners and operators. Often there is only one employee present at night, which can make them feel more vulnerable. Therefore, it is of great importance to have a security system that will protect your employees so they can show up at work without feeling unsafe. There is a need for a system that can act immediately and stop the criminal before the situation escalates.

Reduce burglary incidents and insurance costs Prevent criminal activity Security fog technology has proven to be highly effective in preventing criminal activity, thereby significantly enhancing the safety and working conditions for staff members. By disorienting intruders and thwarting theft attempts, you can create a secure environment for employees. In addition, a PROTECT™ Fog Cannon can stop the criminals before they get away with any of the valuable stock that petrol stations contain. This way, petrol stations in vulnerable locations can feel much safer, as they would have a proactive security solution installed. Today, several of the world’s largest petrol companies have installed PROTECT™ security fog systems with remarkable results. These installations have led to a substantial decrease in incidents of burglary and theft, as well as a notable reduction in insurance costs associated with property and inventory protection.

Minimal damage and better working conditions Our customers’ experiences Q8: “Since we began installing security fog in 2009, the number of break-ins at our 176 petrol stations has fallen dramatically. We have the upper hand – in almost all breakins the burglar fails to take anything of value,” explains Security Manager Klaus Peiner Thomsen from Q8 Denmark. ESSO: Also Esso’s 40 stores in Norway save money every day because break-ins have been almost eliminated after the installation of the security fog. “The fog makes it impossible for the burglar to find valuables in the stores, and neighbors without fog protection are running a big risk,” warns HMS officer, Janne Eriksen from Esso Norway. ARAL: Security fog has a preventive effect. Moreover, it helps provide better working conditions for staff, and ultimately security fog can have a positive effect on the insurance excess. “The fog prevents burglars from attacking our fittings which are only partly insured,” explains Austrian Aral tenant, Leo von Aussee Grieshofer.

The fog from a PROTECT Fog Cannon will stay in the room for up to an hour after firing without venting. We recommend venting within one hour of the firing.
No! The words “fog cannon” and “smoke cannon” are used interchangeably but cover the same. Security fog can for some look like real, white smoke, but have nothing to do with smoke. It is not harmful to breathe in the fog and one does not get sick. If the building has a fire alarm system, your fire detectors (sensors) must be of the right kind so that they do not perceive the fog as real smoke. Ask your alarm installer or call PROTECT ™.
The fog cannon will start again as soon as the PIR sensor detects motion in the room. Therefore, waiting for the fog to disappear will not help. PROTECT ™ has one of the longest “hang times” on the fog for up to 1 hour. You can temporarily hide your valuables from the thief until you, the police, the neighbour or the guard appear.
Security fog can be used in all sizes of premises. Your alarm installer will work with you to determine what needs to be protected by the fog. Then he measures the room and calculates which fog cannon to use and if more than one fog cannon is needed. If you have a very high ceiling, we have a solution that solves the challenge. PROTECT ™ has a fog cannon for every need.

Yes. A PROTECT Fog Canno n® can be installed to fire a thick wall of security fog between the thief and the persons/staff. For example, PROTECT’s fog cannons are installed in stores, offices and private homes to protect against robbery.
