One of Europe's leading security companies has come up with an interesting way to prevent thieves from making off with valuables from your home or office.

It blankets them with mist.

Or rather, it creates "a zero-visibility situation by expelling a dense and bothersome fog that prevents the intruder from seeing."

The ZeroVision Smart Alarm Solution was developed over two years by a company called Verisure and is now launching in the UK for the first time.

You can see how the system works in the video above.

“We have been developing this product for over two years and invested £5 million - evidence of our determination to continue innovating and strengthening our monitored security solutions and alarms in the European market,” explained Horacio Perez, Operations Director at Verisure UK.

Prices for the alarm system start at £299 and are based on a bespoke, onsite assessment.

“This product has gone through an exhaustive testing and quality assurance process led by third-party laboratories and accreditation bodies to ensure the maximum quality standard and to offer the highest level of comfort to our customers,” Perez said.
