Long periods standing empty
Holiday and second homes go unchecked for weeks out of season.
Application
Home and villa security
Homes that stand empty for long periods — holiday houses, second homes, villas during travel — offer ideal conditions for a burglary. A siren is no deterrent where there are no neighbours. Security fog acts physically where noise alone fails.
The main risks in this environment
Isolated sites, slow response
Outside a compound or in a rural setting a siren reaches no one and help is slow.
Personal and sentimental value
Some of what is taken cannot be replaced at any price.
The Boldmirglass solution
In homes we usually protect the transit points — entrance hall, living room, bedroom corridor — because whichever room the burglar heads for, they must pass through them. Compact Sentinel models install quietly and unobtrusively. They connect to your existing home alarm, so protection engages at the same moment the alert reaches your phone.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe with children or pets in the house?
The system is only armed when the alarm is set and the house is empty. The fog is not harmful to breathe, but because it removes vision it is configured to operate only when no one is home.
Does installation require building work?
Usually not. The unit is wall- or ceiling-mounted and wiring runs along the existing alarm cabling. Most home installations are completed within a single working day.
My holiday home has no power — is there an option?
Yes. Standalone models such as Rapid Deploy and Sentinel Go protect without mains power. They are designed for sites, holiday homes and temporary protection.
