Crime is often a simple opportunistic but unexpected event, which makes prevention difficult. Compared to an accident, one can only act precaution to himself by wearing a seatbelt, having airbags and other safety features on board, which can mild the consequences but realistically never prevent anything from happening. Accidents happen suddenly as crimes hits, with almost zero reaction time.
With our aim of preventing crime, we had to leave the box and start from scratch. Looking back into the history of security, there is not much improvement over the last 50-100 years, but rather a decline in commitment. With any crime incident that happens to you, you are on your own. Fact. Neighbours usually don't know you, and don't care accordingly. Your contracted armed response may call first to confirm you have a problem, and the police comes maybe to clear up, all that whilst you are at gunpoint. Or tracker will find your tracking device after a robbery, hijacking, kidnapping, or simple theft.
So, what's missing here is instant efficient physical reaction to stop any attempted crime, in time. Dedicated gun owners usually argue with having gun power to defend themselves. Really? At gunpoint? The other 90 % rely on alarms, panic buttons, CCTV and other security gadgets, but again, how does it help you at gunpoint, when every second matters? When holistically reviewing crime, we have to deal with the fact of being alone and even react irrational. And we have to deal with the fact that any possible response takes time.

Firstly, we enable what others don't (or can’t).
Secondly, we always expect the worst and prepare for any possible event and
Thirdly, we compare our automated or semi-automated defence systems with the speed of a bullet.
Don't misunderstand; we don't consider conventional security as generally bad. At least your alarm, outdoor beams or electric fence will give you eventually a warning, unfortunately, too often too late. When a criminal or a bunch of it triggers any of your alarms, or you may see them accidentally on your CCTV monitor, but they may have entered your premises, business or house already.

How do we archive our preventive approach?
Our present range of triggers/activators will be extended by demand
How do we actively prevent crime?
After introducing our present range of triggers and activators, here are now our active defence units. Our concept is not to kill or harm anyone, but to deter, confuse, interrupt and distract criminal activity to a point of extreme inconvenience and finally surrender. We do that with downsized water cannons, similar to the well-known big mobile units, operated successfully by authorities worldwide in order to curb riots and unrests.
The idea was initially based on a survey from the University of Pretoria about the possible correlation between weather and criminal activity. The published outcome was a clear statement of rising numbers of crime under good weather conditions, and our simple reverse conclusion was, bad weather must be a good crime deterrent. So, we focused on creating this bad weather condition with artificial rain and the first domestic water cannon was created.
Today we offer a range of water cannons for different applications, tap or pump feed, rotating or fixed streams, mixer for liquid agents (dye) or premixed water-based liquids. Our pump operated units are not even limited to water, but can spray any none corrosive liquid instead.
Why water? Water under pressure creates a solid stream up to 15 meter and is an ideal carrier for different agents like dye, smelling agents and others, depending on application, or some alternative liquids. Pressure creates a notable physical direct impact, and confusion.
1. Our ROTAR series consists from a self-rotating tap connected unit with adjustable spray angle, and liquid mixer (limited to none foaming agents) on request, or a cable remote controlled unit with build in camera, laser target finder and monitor, and can be tap or pump operated. These units are capable to clean and secure solar panels or to cover bigger outdoor areas. A drone operated system is presently under development.
2. Our PULSAR series consists from different tap connected fixed stream units, 1-4 lines, and liquid mixer without limitation. The water stream can be set constant or pulsing (using only 50% water, and has multiple impact on target). These units are developed for specific outdoor areas with a limited footprint (like gates, garage doors, terraces or main entrance areas) or shops and shopping centres.
3. Our PORTA series consists of various pump operated units for mobile, semi portable and full portable units (hand gun). Our mobile version for all kind of combustion engines can additional to cold water/liquid or mixture make use of boiling hot water from the engines cooling system, or very hot and sticky engine oil, extracted by a hollowed dip stick. These units have been developed specifically for all kind of motor vehicles, portable and semi portable applications (e.g. radio towers and critical infrastructure).
4. Our HANDGUN unit has similar capabilities to any other models of our range, consists of a laser target finder and the latest development has an additional 180-degree swivel head, a build in camera and monitor set, and is the first ever handgun able to “shut around the corner” from a safe position. The cheap liquid charges and rechargeable batteries make this model also attractive for shooting games, and can replace paint ball guns.
5. Our MAGNETAR series is a supporting audio unit, creating remote controlled disturbing noise or gunshot audio.
6. Our SMOKE GRENADE system has been developed for shops, trucks and delivery vehicles. The SMOKE GRENADE system releases harmless but very effective and impenetrable black smoke after activation, and stays for 10-20 minutes. After all, smoke grenades are not new and not our products, we just make them working by contributing our capable trigger systems.

What else are we doing?
Obstacles, potholes, spikes
And this is our easy solution; in the “DOT” version also used as laser target finder for our swivel guns.
Our core business is detection and inspection, similar to airport security but with a different approach, and by using simplified technologies. From past field experience we have noticed that many of these high-tech detection gadgets are used as “display of competence” only as most "operators" can barely handle this equipment, even at airports. Our difference is not intensive training (proven not working) but simplifying and humanizing operations, saving space and energy. We have also developed and build a solar operated mobile inspection unit on trailer for random inspection at events and for school security.

And here are some recommended liquid charges / mixers for our water cannons:
Red devil (dye) red fabric dye,20 gr boiled for 20 min with 1 l water for mixer, cool down, dilute with 5 I cold water for direct use. Uses undiluted for mixer or dilute 1:5 with water for direct use. Don't touch and
avoid contact with fabric. A variety of colours is in shops and pharmacies available.
Red devil B (bio) beetroot brine, undiluted for direct use, simmer to reduce water content by 80% for mixer use, avoid contact with fabric.
Black devil (Jeyes fluid) black colouring, bad smell, bleach causes itching, has teargas properties on eyes. Use undiluted for mixer or diluted 1:5 with water for direct use. Don't touch and avoid contact with fabric.
Liquid fart (liquid bio fertilizer) guarantees a fishy smell for days. Don't touch and avoid contact with fabric. Use undiluted for mixer or dilutes 1:5 with water for direct use and available at Builders and garden centres.
Red eye (thin bleach) smell, itching on skin, teargas properties on eyes. Use undiluted for mixer or dilutes 1:5 with water for direct use. Don't touch and avoid contact with fabric.
Slip devil (dishwasher) makes tiles and other hard and even surface slippery. Use undiluted, for mixer only. Application: general crime, riot control and looting.
The above list is not complete, as any none corrosive liquid or mixtures hereof is suitable, depending on application. Many shops offer a variety of colorants, taste (smell) enhancers for human consumption, and used for baking and cooking, or hot sauces (e.g. Tabasco) and spices. Hot water on tap is also a great enhancement if available, and connoisseurs may even prefer any type of alcohol, sticky juices or beverages.

Prevention
Crime Prevention is our solution to replace conventional responsive security technology by aiming to prevent, rather then monitoring or responding to crime events, with our swift and automated defense units. Unlike alarm systems, which only trigger after a criminal has already entered your comfort zone, we detect, surprise and defend on spot and in time, at an early point of surrender, and with a lasting impact.
We offer a unique range of preventive solutions, in-house developed and manufactured, tested under real life conditions, and we focus on all life threatening crimes like armed robberies, hijacking, kidnapping and so on. We have individual solutions for many untouched applications, for fixed point installations, mobile or temporary in rental properties or construction sites.
Unfortunately, there is no single solution to cover all possible events, as a seatbelt cannot prevent you falling from a ladder. Let's start with our different and unique trigger units.
Our lmpact Panic Button is based on the very popular 1-4 button “Centurion Nova remote control". This remote control is very safe and robust, and we use a hidden function without compromising its original functionality to convert it into a multifunctional security "Swiss Knife".
Most important is the impact activation of the hidden remote channel by the physical impact when dropping. Criminals usually request as a first action to drop your keys, expecting you might carry a wireless panic button. This simple action can be performed under all circumstances, even at gunpoint, and this will activate anything connected to the hidden receiver unit.
Another way of activation is a build in light sensor and a magnet contact, activated by light when kept in a dark room (e.g. a drawer or safe), or displacing a small magnet attached to any valuables.

Our famous "Follower Control", is a horizontal double lR beam with counting and direction verification ability. The direction verification ignores any interruption on the way out, whilst the counting function activates a delay frame for the first interruption and immediate activation from the second activation within a preset time frame. The delay function activates a beep tone to remind the owner to reset the unit remotely, which can also be performed pre-passing the beam, or combined with a gate opening remote.
3
Our unique reverse activated PIR detector is always active and can only be temporarily deactivated when passing. These PIR detectors can also verify the direction, and deactivate the unit automatically on the way out. If active and detecting any movement it will trigger any connected unit immediately and can only be stopped remotely.
4
Our Ai enabled camera unit is able to detect and verify human presence/ movement, but excludes animals and other potential sources of disturbance, and is the ultimate detector for all outdoor application. The functionality is similar to a PIR detector but aims to prevent false alarms.
5
Our Ai enabled monitor unit has the same capability of human detection and verification, but is not limited to one or a specific type of camera. The monitor unit has 4 inputs for any standard camera, plus a 256 Mb micro-SD card recorder.
6
Especially for vehicles and robbery or hijacking prevention, we have a headrest remote activator to activate, not notably, with a slight head movement any connected defence device.
1. Stoplifter is a small spray system using only a drop of water or two to confuse and stop shoplifters from leaving shops with an already installed anti-shoplifting system, giving staff or security at least a chance to prevent thieves from just running away.
2. Our Gunshot direction finder is a mobile/portable unit, capable to detect the direction of gunshots in short range, and can be off assistance in crime ridden areas and for game rangers in easing to find active poachers (under development).
3. Panic relay will detect loud screaming (or whistle), and any remote-control unit, and activates a connected response unit in return. This response unit can be a simple siren or our MAGNETAR supporting audio unit, creating disturbing noise, gunshots, or any voice pre recorded audio.
4. Jamming relay will detect any car jamming device and activates a connected response unit in return. This response unit can be a simple siren or our MAGNETAR supporting audio unit, creating disturbing noise, gunshots, or any voice pre recorded audio. Our unit is solar powered and can be installed almost anywhere.
5. Our Laser obstacle detector assists drivers to recognize potholes, stones and spikes, placed by criminals on roads with the intention to stop vehicles and rob drivers, especially at night. A red 10-15 m laser line in front of a moving vehicle indicates any road abnormality.
What is crime (and how to prevent it)?
In cases we cannot adapt to automation, we assist with our unique trigger units manual activation of any device, for instance with our impact panic button.
