sumujärjestelmiä

Sumujärjestelmiä, known in English as fog systems, are a type of security technology designed to disorient and deter intruders. These systems rapidly fill a room with a dense, opaque fog, significantly reducing visibility to near zero. The primary purpose of this fog is not to cause physical harm but to create a disorienting environment that makes it extremely difficult for an intruder to navigate, locate valuables, or identify occupants.

Fog systems are typically activated by an alarm trigger, such as a break-in sensor or motion detector. Upon activation, a heating element quickly vaporizes a non-toxic fluid, producing a thick, white fog that expands to fill the protected space. The fog is designed to dissipate relatively quickly once the system is deactivated, leaving no residue or damage to the room's contents.

The effectiveness of fog systems lies in their ability to disrupt an intruder's plan. By eliminating visibility, they can prevent theft or damage by forcing a hasty retreat. They are often used in conjunction with other security measures like alarms and cameras. These systems are found in a variety of settings, including retail stores, homes, offices, and warehouses, offering an active layer of defense against burglary and vandalism. The fluids used are generally safe and do not pose a health risk.
