New Technology For Home Security

Looking for a new and creative way to deal with kleptomaniacs? The FogShield PB-240 from ShatterGard provides the basis for some great new security systems. The FogShield can be wired to external sensors, that when tripped cause it to emit a non-toxic fog. Quite a bit of fog actually. 2,000 square feet worth in 15 seconds! Try running away from that. The fog supposedly has a fresh minty smell and dissipates in 45 minutes. Aside from keeping the thieves stumbling about the house looking for the exit, check out these applications:

• Car alarm systems - Can you imagine a car thief sticking around a car that is completely filled with and emitting a dense fog? Do you think he'll wait 45 minutes to drive it away?

• Combine with weapons - Can you imagine using the USB BB Gun with an infrared camera in conjunction with the fog system? The thief would never know what hit him.

• Combine with containment - Shut and lock the exits and watch (on infrared camera) the thief stumble around until the authorities arrive
