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.
