bullet Smokecloak

Whilst a well designed, installed and operated security system will provide a substantial deterrent to crime and detect any attempted intrusion there are situations where loss can still occur with speed. In such circumstances a method of delay must be introduced to slow any potential theft in progress and give time for police etc. to arrive.

Such a delay could be achieved by physical protection such as bars and grills etc. but far better if this could be done without creating a 'prison' like environment.

Westminster have the answer - SMOKECLOAK!

Any Westminster International System can be fitted with an integrated Smokecloak device either from new or retro-fitted to existing installations.

Imagine an intruder has just activated - unknowingly - your company's new Smokecloak device. While you read quietly to the end of this sentence (and he tries to understand what's happening), the room around him will have begun to fill with a dense, harmless, immobilising cloak of smoke.

By the time you reach the end of this next sentence - even if you're hurrying - he will be very hard pressed to see an accomplice standing just two feet away.

And by the time you've completed this first page, the whole chamber - and one or more very baffled intruders - will be enveloped by your Smokecloak. Safely. Securely. Completely.

Designed to be fully integral with modern detection systems, and put on 'standby' when switching on the burglar alarm, Smokecloak is targeted at the crucial minutes between a system triggering - and security personnel arriving.

When activated, Smokecloak discharges an impenetrable fog-like white smoke- instantly. By disorientating intruders and enveloping the entire area, it makes further progress into the protected sector impossible.

The smoke is generated by passing a glycol-based liquid through a heating block. As a result, the fluid breaks down rapidly into a fine smoke which is expelled at high pressure.

Once activate, the system is controlled by a special sensor which shuts off production at a pre-determined level - and will then re-activate as often as necessary to maintain protection at that level.

Crucially, the smoke created from the glycol mixture (itself a basic foodstuff or food ingredient) is entirely non-toxic and therefore harmless to people, electronics, paper and natural and man-made fibres.

The smoke will remain in the air for a considerable time, depending on the volume of the location, amount produced and level of ventilation. However, little or no residue is left and, once cleared of smoke, any area is immediately re-usable.
