Home Security Fog: Protection That Actually Stops Intruders

The average UK burglary lasts eight minutes. The average police response takes longer. Cameras and alarms tell you a break-in is happening — security fog ends it. Within seconds of activation, a Smoke Screen home security fog system fills the protected room with dense, harmless white fog. The intruder cannot see your valuables, your layout, or their exit. Nothing to steal. Nothing to see. They leave.

WHAT IS A HOME SECURITY FOG SYSTEM?

A home security fog system is a compact device that releases a dense, dry fog when your intruder alarm is triggered. The fog is completely harmless to people, pets, furniture and electronics — but reduces visibility to under 30 centimetres in seconds. Burglars rely entirely on speed and sight. Fog removes both. It is the same technology that has protected banks and jewellers for three decades, now sized for the home.

HOME PROTECTION WITHOUT THE WIRING

The Sentinel Go is Smoke Screen’s battery-powered fog unit, designed for homes, garages, home offices and outbuildings. No mains connection. No installation disruption. Place it, pair it with your alarm — including wireless systems like Ajax — and it is ready. When triggered, it protects a standard room in under 30 seconds and runs entirely on its internal battery, so it keeps working even if the power is cut — which is often the first thing intruders do.

IS SECURITY FOG SAFE FOR FAMILY HOMES?

Completely. The fog is a food-grade glycol solution — the same base used in theatrical fog — certified non-toxic and non-irritant. It leaves no residue on furniture, fabrics, or electronics, and disperses within 20–40 minutes with ventilation. It is safe around children and pets, and it will not trigger your smoke detectors when correctly installed and configured.

DOES SECURITY FOG WORK WITH MY EXISTING HOME ALARM?

Yes. Sentinel units integrate with every professional alarm system, and the Ajax Ready certification means wireless pairing with Ajax home systems takes minutes. When your alarm confirms an intrusion, the fog activates automatically — whether you are home, at work or on holiday. You can also trigger it manually from a panic button or app.
