PEABODY,
Mass. – Security dealers have greater access
to fog security products as a result of an agreement
between Bandit Solutions and ADI, a leading distributor
of security and low voltage products.
Intruders
use the time between an alarm activation and law
enforcement response to seize goods and escape,
but the Bandit system closes this window of opportunity.
The company’s flagship product, the Bandit
240 PB, provides the explosive power to stop a
crime in progress, ejecting a harmless, dense
fog at 1,000 cubic feet per second that blocks
a would-be burglar’s vision.
“We’re
excited about this relationship with ADI,”
said Mario Costa, Bandit’s executive vice
president. “With the agreement in place,
Bandit Solutions has reached an important milestone
– and an early validation of our strategic
planning. Through ADI, we will be able to reach
out to many more security professionals than we
might have on our own in making fog security a
‘mainstream‘ product and an integral
part of intrusion, video and access systems.”
Unlike
other fog systems on the market, which are simple
pump or aerosol-based devices, Bandit has only
one moving part and is specifically designed to
be more effective, durable and reliable. Bandit’s
patented HY-3 Pack, a high-pressure (200psi) cartridge
system, produces fog up to 10 times faster than
a 12-volt pump – creating zero visibility
in just three seconds, making it the most powerful
and technically advanced fog security system available
today.
With
its unique on-board diagnostic software and event-logging
capabilities, the Bandit 240 PB is the only fog
security product that complements a remotely monitored
alarm system. In addition, it is also the only
fog security system that is completely configurable
by a computer using Bandit Solutions’ PC
Link.
“Bandit
Solutions has already stirred quite an interest
in the industry and our dealers have asked us
to carry this enhanced level of protection,”
said Scott Sturgess, ADI’s director of product
marketing, intrusion and fire products. “ADI
is pleased to partner with Bandit Solutions in
spearheading the concept of fog security into
the United States.”
Because
it resembles an audio speaker, the Bandit Solutions
system blends into any environment. It is especially
recommended for customers who are most susceptible
to “smash and grab” thefts, including
jewelry stores, golf equipment shops, convenience
stores, banks and computer retailers.
Bandit’s
fog security is also ideal for use in areas where
non-response policies are in place, or in any
remote location that is far from responding authorities.
Its use is not limited to commercial sites alone.
Bandit can be deployed to protect sensitive areas
at schools and universities, as well as in homes
where valuables are kept.
In
addition to the Bandit 240 PB, ADI will carry
the full line of accessories, including a starter
kit, the PC link, wall mount, swivel mount, wireless
keyfob transmitter, wireless keyfob receiver and
demo unit.
