This is what an unauthorized visitor will be able to see if they attempt to enter your vessel!

I wrote about fog machines before as an integration into your vessel security plan, but this systems features take the technology to the next level. Alarm systems go a long way in protecting your vessel from intruders, but after they have been detected and a response has been activated, what will the creeps take with them before they run? If you have a FlashFog system by Arias Tech. installed, the answer is likely NOTHING! (maybe a pant load)

The FlashFog system is triggered by your marine security system or remotely by you and comes in various sizes to fit your vessel. The protection area ranges from 900 sq. ft. of coverage to 2,420 sq. ft. depending on which model you choose.

The name FlashFog is no accident. Each fog unit includes a standard high intensity strobe that increases the unpleasant emotions a burglar realizes when attempting entry.

Integrated with your vessels alarm system the FlashFog unit arms and safeguards from false alarms with "smart intruder confirmation" technology. If an actual intruder is detected, the FlashFog unit releases a non toxic and no residue thick fog that is harmless to onboard electronics.

Your vessel will be totally fogged in with non transparent fog within 10 seconds of activation, making it impossible for the intruder to enter or stay for a quick grab of your very expensive electronics and other personal items. This would include you if you were onboard, helping to safeguard yourself from pirates.

The thick fog lasts for about 45 minutes without ventilation or about 20 minutes in an aired out environment.

You can add a FlashFog SoundWall to add an additional level of "Get Out Of Here NOW!" to your system. The SoundWall is a very unbearable 125 db. device. That is much louder than you think. This is no ordinary siren!

Here is a db. comparison from the US Department of Labor, to show you how loud it is.

• 65db. Normal Conversation
• 75db. Average Factory
• 80db. Loud Music
• 90db. Beginning of unsafe levels
• 110db. Jet airplane taking off
• 125db=Soundwall sound barrier
• 130db. Extreme pain threshold
  
• 150db. Immediate hearing loss

New Analog To Digital Converter From Paradox Marine Allows Internet Viewing
Of Onboard Yacht CCTV Surveillance Images

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA) –Boat security systems supplier Paradox Marine has introduced a analog to digital (A/D) converter to enable yacht owners and captains to view images captured by onboard CCTV surveillance cameras over the Internet.

The new A/D converter (inset in photo at left) connects to the Paradox Marine GOST Watch yacht monitoring system, which enables monitoring of conditions on board from anywhere on a PC or mobile phone with Internet access. “Many boats already have surveillance cameras on board, but the signal is analog so there’s no way to view the images remotely. Our new A/D converter solves this problem,” said Jay Keenan, Paradox Marine Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Marine GOST Watch. introduced at the Miami International Boat Show earlier this year, allows users to watch live video of their yacht, be alerted if temperature rises above a pre-set level, if water is detected in bilge or living areas, if motion is detected in a private area, or even if the yacht loses shore power.

The system is virtually plug n' play and easy to set up. Marine GOST Watch features: • Cameras for live video monitoring from anywhere (cabin & deck available) • Water sensors for bilge and living areas • Temperature sensors for salon & engine room • Motion & door sensors to secure your yacht when you're away • Power controls for lighting, HVAC and appliances • Sirens alert you when sensors are triggered • Battery backup alerts you when shore power is lost • Provides internet access for remote email

Bandit Solutions of Peabody, MA has developed a technology that is changing the face of high security applications. Their fog machine when tied to a security alarm system, makes it impossible for burglars to enter or stay in an area that they attempt to break into. The machine sits in the corner of a room and upon violation, instantly fills the area with thick fog. The fog is odorless, leaves no residue and is harmless to sensitive electronics. The dense fog dissipates after about 30 minutes. The fog canister is good for 4 applications and a refill is available for about $125.00.

If you have a yacht with an inverter (120VAC is needed to power the unit) you can fill a 1000 square ft. area in just 3 seconds. By having a unit in the cabin and venting to your fly-bridge, your electronics would remain untouched because they can't see them to steel them. Your Marine Guard alarm would notify you of the violation so you can respond before the fog would clear.

From the Bandit Solutions Website:

As the most powerful and technically advanced fog system available today, Bandit Solutions provides the explosive power to stop a crime in progress. Perfect as an enhancement to any security system, Bandit ejects harmless dense fog at an unmatched rate of 1,000 cubic feet per second creating a high-level barrier that protects valuables from intruders.

BANDIT fills a room, store, office (or your vessel) with a thick, non-transparent fog.
fog after 0.5 sec	fog after 1.5 sec	fog after 3 sec

The fog keeps anyone from entering the room for at least 10 minutes after the alarm goes off, because they cannot see a thing. The fog has a soft mint smell, is colorless and disappears without leaving a trace. Bandit’s fog can last up to an hour but can be aired out of a room in about 15 minutes.
