Introducing the VGS 12V DC Smoke Screen - physical prevention of theft.
as seen on ITV1's "Police Camera Action!"

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. 20 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.
