Smash-and-grab raids
The attacker breaks the glass, empties the display and leaves while the siren is still sounding. A conventional alarm reports the event; it does not stop it.
Application
Security for jewellers and exchange offices
In jewellery shops, theft is measured in seconds, not minutes. In smash-and-grab incidents the intruder is usually inside for under two minutes — far less than it takes police or a response team to arrive. Security fog is the only active measure that closes that gap.
The main risks in this environment
Forced shutters and locks
Shutters are cut or walls breached overnight. Physical barriers buy time, but on their own they are not enough.
High value density
A very high value is concentrated in a small area — even a few drawers represent a serious loss.
The Boldmirglass solution
A Sentinel fog generator connects to your existing alarm panel. The instant an intrusion is detected it fills the space with fog dense enough to remove vision entirely. The intruder can no longer see the display, the safe or the exit — and without orientation, cannot continue. The fog leaves no residue on gold or gemstones and does not damage stock or electronics.

Frequently asked questions
Does the fog damage gold or jewellery?
No. The fog is generated from a fluid also used in the food industry. It is not oil-based and leaves no film or staining on surfaces. Once the space is ventilated it returns to normal; stock does not need cleaning.
My shop is small — which model fits?
Jewellery shops are typically 30–120 m². At that scale a Sentinel S35 or S55 is usually enough; where the retail area is partitioned, several small units outperform a single large one. We determine the right model during an on-site survey.
What if a false alarm sets it off?
The system is wired to a verified alarm condition, not to a single motion sensor. Typically two independent detectors, or the panel’s confirmed-alarm output, must agree. This keeps accidental activation to a minimum.
