Case Study: Helping Small Retail Businesses Stay Safe with the Fog Cannon Subsidy
Client:
Small Retail Businesses across New Zealand
Service:
Fog Cannon Security System Installation
Background:
Many small retail businesses in New Zealand face challenges with theft and break-ins. To help, the New Zealand government introduced a Fog Cannon Subsidy Scheme, offering financial support for small businesses to install security systems, including fog cannons. This program aims to improve safety and reduce crime in small shops.
The Challenge:
Small business owners often don’t have the resources to invest in expensive security systems. They need a cost-effective solution that can help prevent theft, protect their products, and keep their shops safe.
Our Solution:
We’ve helped over 130 small businesses across New Zealand by installing fog cannon security systems. Eligible businesses can apply for a subsidy of up to $4000, which covers the cost of a fog cannon and a security alarm system.
Key features of the system include:
Fog Cannon: If there’s an attempted break-in, staff can press a panic button to release fog, making it impossible for the thief to see and escape.
Motion Detection: When the system is armed, it automatically triggers the fog cannon if it detects movement inside the store, even when no one is around.
Third-Party Monitoring: Businesses can choose to have the system monitored by a security team. If an alarm is triggered, the team can send help quickly.
Optional Add-ons: Business owners can add extra features like motion sensors at all entry points, glass break sensors, or an outdoor siren to scare off intruders.
Results:
Businesses that installed the fog cannon system have reported fewer break-ins and thefts. The fog cannon system makes it harder for criminals to steal products, and the ability to monitor the system remotely gives business owners peace of mind.
What Our Clients Say:
Business owners are happy with how easy the system is to use, with features like the panic button and mobile app alerts. Many also appreciate the added security of third-party monitoring, knowing that help is just a call away.
Key Benefits:
Better Security: The fog cannon makes it much harder for thieves to steal anything.
Easy to Use: The system is simple to operate with a panic button and mobile alerts.
Extra Protection: With optional monitoring services, help can arrive quickly if there’s a problem.
Affordable: The government subsidy makes it easier for small businesses to afford top-quality security.
