How We Adapt Smoke Machines to Otham Homes

Smoke Machines Specification: Cameras, Panels and Cabling
Where a Otham unit shares premises with sprinklers, we position the fog cannon away from any heat detector to avoid accidental fire-system cross-triggering, a common oversight on older retrofit installs. A common Otham spec pairs the fog unit with a dummy external sounder, so any intruder gaining entry hears an audible warning before the fog discharges, adding a psychological deterrent ahead of physical obscuration. For Otham businesses with high footfall during the day, we configure the fog system to arm only outside trading hours, linked to the same schedule as the intruder alarm, so it cannot fire on a genuine customer. Front boundary walls on London Road, continuing past Meadow View sit low enough that a raised camera mount is usually needed to clear passing hedges and bins. Sight lines from the local pub can put a camera in view of passers-by, so lens angles are checked against privacy expectations before sign-off. Just off the A2 with mainline rail nearby for both engineers and remote support. adds a buffer to the quoted arrival time, so appointments in Otham are given a window rather than a fixed minute.
