The 12V smoke security system is ideally suited to vehicle security applications and differs from alarms and other security devices by physically preventing thieves from seeing.

Our smoke security system is a compact unit which is both user and installer friendly. The unit is 12 volt DC car battery powered (a 24V version is also available).

The fog is totally harmless to both person and property but is extremely unpleasant to remain in. The intruder will make a hasty retreat and most certainly will not be able to see to steal or cause damage.
The unit can be used in vehicles of varying sizes by regulating the flow of fog. In this way you can generate the volume of fog necessary to cater for the size of the area being protected.

The small size (154mm length x 43mm height x 60mm depth) allows it to be easily housed in small spaces such as under seats or even suspended in either the passenger or drivers footwell. The most important consideration in locating the unit is to optimise the smoke dispersion.

In standby the unit draws no current whatsoever. On activation it reaches operating temperature in less than three seconds and then immediately produces impressive volumes of smoke to hide tools and equipment or simply to make the vehicle very unpleasant to be in.

The unit uses a coiled, stainless steel heat exchanger and a microprocessor control circuit with in-built safety features to prevent discharge in a moving vehicle. The specially formulated smoke fluid is contained in a pressurised aerosol that can be located up to 2 metres from the control unit.

The unit has an integral timer allowing the installer to regulate, at the touch of a button, the amount of smoke discharged. It also has the facility to trigger a pager and/or siren and/or voice module as well as remote arming/disarming.

There are both positive and negative trigger inputs that can be linked to an existing alarm system (or other sensors) including door pin switches, ultra-sonic and/or microwave etc. By using the various optional extras the unit can also be used without need for another alarm.

The length of each smoke activation will determine the number of times you can use the system before having to replace the aerosol (approx. 40 times in a standard sized car) and there is a low fluid indicator light to ensure the unit is always ready to work for you.

This system is safe for use in motor vehicles as well as vans, boats, caravans and buildings.

For your home...

The unit can be easily installed in small rooms as a cheaper yet equally as effective alternative to the costly smoke screen systems in commercial retail installations. A large number of our customers use the unit in their garage, shed/workshop and home office in conjunction with a car battery and trickle charger with an existing alarm system or PIR sensor.

A car alarm / sensor input is required to trigger the smoke screen.

Please note:
This is a high quality fog generating machine. It is made in the UK. The smoke produced by the unit has the finest particle size of any fog machine available, which means it uses less fog fluid to generate a greater volume of dense fog. The fog particle size of Chinese made fog machines is anything up to 60 microns in diameter. (The diameter of human hair ranges from 50 to 80 microns). This machine's fog particle size is 0.3 microns - quite a difference!

There is always a minimum of 50 of these units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How big a volume will this unit fill?

A: It is designed for cars. For vans, we often recommend two units at each end. If you need a unit that will fill a larger area, our portable smoke security unit is the perfect solution.

Q: Can you supply aerosols that kill the thief by gassing them?

A: No. It would be unsafe for the fitter of the unit and would open up a whole range of legal issues. Our unit sets out to prevent theft.

Q: Can the unit be triggered by the driver if they are at a set of traffic lights and a thief forces them out of the car and drives off?

A: No. It would not be safe for any nearby pedestrians if the car was driven at speed whilst full of smoke. The unit has a safety feature which prevents it from being activated whilst the vehicle is moving. If the unit is located to secure cargo on a lorry for example, you can yourself fit a panic button to trigger the smoke screen manually.

Q: I live in the USA. Why does it cost £115 to send the unit and canisters to me?

A: The kit is supplied with one canister. The aerosol canisters containing the smoke fluid are pressurised and although they are harmless, are classified as 'hazardous' material by couriers and shipping agents. This 'hazardous' label gives the package a price premium. The cost of shipping is the same whether you buy one kit or a number of kits and extra canisters.

1 kit £121 £121
1 kit, spare 40 canisters £121 £3.03
4 kits, 8 spare cannisters £121 £10.08
Combinations of above £121  

To ship 1 x kit to the US costs £121.00. For the same shipping price of £121 we can send 1 kit and up to 40 extra canisters, or 4 kits and up to 8 canisters, and combinations thereof. It is economical for you to buy more than one canister/kits when placing your order. You could get together with friends to buy multiple kits and canisters to reduce the shipping cost-per-item.

Q: I want to trigger the unit remotely by mobile phone in event of a hijack. It would be done whilst vehicle is moving to force driver to stop. Can you device be made to work this way?

A: We offer an anti-hijack system that will prevent the car being stolen. If you already have such a system in your car, we offer an interface which will work in conjunction with it which to links to the smoke screen.
It works like this: you get into your car and turn the Ignition on - press the hidden button - the hijack system is now deactivated. If you get in and haven't pressed the button, it will beep to remind you to press it. If someone steals the car and doesn't press the hidden button, the engine cuts out gradually over 30 seconds, and the horn and lights flash as the engine starts degrading to attract maximum attention to ailing vehicle. Once the car has stopped, the smoke system kicks in. This system must be fitted by a professional installer.
