Introducing FlashBang: A New Security Tech Combining Smoke Bombs & Pepper Spray to Subdue Criminals

by | Sep 4, 2024

Deep Sentinel CEO David Selinger demos FlashBang's smoke bombs feature.

Crimes targeting businesses are becoming more aggressive and brazen. From smash and grab robberies to organized retail theft, business owners are constantly facing security threats. Now is the time for businesses to step up their crime prevention.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the official launch of FlashBang, the first security solution that actively fights back to prevent crime before it happens.

FlashBang is a revolutionary new security solution for businesses, providing a safe and effective way to deter and defend against aggressive retail crime. By melding AI-powered tech, live guard support, and a range of physical deterrents (including smoke bombs and pepper spray), FlashBang is the future of business security.

As retail theft becomes bolder and more aggressive, businesses need a new line of defense.

The need for enhanced security solutions has never been more urgent:

  • 85% of small businesses experience theft each year.
  • 52% experience theft at least once a week.
  • 88% report that shoplifters have become noticeably more aggressive and violent over the past year.

And those figures are only expected to continue to rise over time.

Traditional security systems just aren’t cutting it anymore.

The vast majority of businesses already have some level of security systems in place, like cameras or security guards. But retail crime persists — and those traditional security measures just don’t stop determined criminals.

In other words, even businesses with pre-existing security measures need more advanced solutions to deter increasingly brazen criminal behavior.

This is where FlashBang comes in. The FlashBang system is engineered to deploy a range of precise and powerful physical deterrent capabilities to halt criminal activities instantly.

FlashBang is the first security solution to meld AI-powered cameras, live human guards, and physical countermeasures — to protect your business when it matters most.

With just one press of a button, FlashBang’s patented system releases thick smoke and a powerful blast of pepper spray, disorienting and incapacitating any intruders in seconds.

Paired with Deep Sentinel’s advanced AI-powered tech, FlashBang is able to respond to threats swiftly and effectively. Our cameras utilize deep learning algorithms to detect and track potential threats, while our live guards monitor the situation in real-time and can remotely activate the countermeasures when necessary.

“We have had multiple break-ins over the years prior to Deep Sentinel. I’ve taken measures, and my business is now being protected by Deep Sentinel’s technology and professional guards, who respond to attacks within seconds. However, the criminals in this area have become more brazen and even with Deep Sentinel providing real-time protection, I need a more persuasive solution. FlashBang is a step further to protect my store and customers from persistent and aggressive intruders.”

How does FlashBang work?

When triggered, FlashBang releases a thick cloud of non-toxic smoke that not only disorients criminals but also makes it difficult for them to see or breathe. While they are struggling to navigate through the cloud, the integrated pepper spray is activated, causing intense irritation to the eyes and skin. This one-two punch is enough to send even the most determined criminals running for cover.

FlashBang is also designed with safety in mind. The smoke bombs are carefully measured to ensure that they do not cause any harm or damage to your business or customers. And the pepper spray is specially formulated to only affect the targeted individual, minimizing any potential collateral damage.

When an intruder poses a threat, the Deep Sentinel system acts fast to stop them in their tracks:

  1. Our advanced AI-powered cameras lock in on the intruder, immediately livestreaming the video feed to our team of live guards.
  2. Our live guards intervene, engaging the intruder with a verbal warning.
  3. If the intruder poses a threat, the live guard activates the FlashBang system, deploying smoke bombs, pepper sprays, and ear-piercing sirens within seconds.
  4. Simultaneously, the live guard can also contact local law enforcement, providing them with real-time information about the intruder’s location and behavior.

With this swift response, potential collateral damage is minimized, ensuring the safety of your home or business.

FlashBang works in conjunction with Deep Sentinel’s Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) camera-based security system. Each Deep Sentinel camera can be equipped with a FlashBang device, giving you the freedom to build the strong defense you need, where you need it.

No matter your industry or area, FlashBang can help your business prevent crime.

FlashBang was specially developed for businesses in need of extra layers of protection against criminal behavior of all types. Whether you run a retail store, warehouse facility, or office building, FlashBang is a strong complement to level up your Deep Sentinel security system.

In short, if you have a business that’s at risk, FlashBang is for you.
