Banks across the world use
security fog protection to safeguard their Atm's, cash
machines and staff
PCs, TV screens
and furniture and fittings are the preferred
targets of burglars in banks. The
unwanted burglars are quickly greeted by
a blanket of thick fog that obscures everything from
view and they are forced out empty handed.
The most serious crimes
against banks are the ram
raids where the cash/ATM machine is
pulled out with e.g. a loader tractor. If the
bank has security fog protection, however,
it is impossible for burglars to finish the
job.
Not only are they blinded by the fog, it also attracts so much
attention that the burglars quickly run off.
The above photo shows two fog cannons on the walls
aimed at the deposit box and cash machine as
well as the coin sorting machine and flat screen TVs.
Protecting cash point machines and
ATMs
PROTECT's fog cannons are
installed in a large number of banks in the UK, Denmark
and across the world. Abroad it is ATM and cash point machines in
particular that are protected by fog (the little rooms where you
can withdraw cash outside normal bank hours).
Cash machines are not only the object of
burglaries - vandalism is also a
problem. Security fog protection renders both crimes
impossible.
Protection of money transport
Our fog cannons are also installed in the ramp
areas where the armoured vehicles dock to unload the banks'
takings for safe keeping behind concrete and iron.
The weakest point is when the money is moved from the van into
safety. Abroad, these ramp areas are often the scene of serious
attacks and robberies. By activating a fog cannon
in the direction of unwanted visitors, staff can then
withdraw into the building along with the money under the
cover of thick fog.
Protecting staff and cash
With our panic button system that can be
activated by staff during a day-time robbery in a bank or building
society means our Fog Security system
actually saves lives as well as cash.
