The British Retail Consortium reports theft at the highest levels ever recorded, with organised gangs targeting jewellery, designer goods, vapes, tools, mobile phones and collectibles. Offenders are faster than any response: the average raid is over before a keyholder is even notified. Retailers that survive repeated attacks are the ones that stop the loss at the moment of entry — which is precisely what fog protection does.

Sentinel units are positioned to cover entry points and high-value displays. On a confirmed activation — out-of-hours intrusion or staff panic button during a raid — the protected zone fills with fog in seconds. Visibility drops below 30cm. The raid ends because it must: there is nothing to see, nothing to grab, and no clear route back out. Stock, staff and fixtures are unharmed, and the fog clears within the hour.

Fog is not only for empty shops. Staff-activated triggers let your team respond to a daylight raid instantly and safely — activating fog between the raiders and the stock, not between the raiders and the exit. The system is configured so escape routes stay clear: the goal is always to end the attack and remove the threat, never to trap anyone.
