General Questions

Learn about Greyman Secure Solutions and our approach to active-defense security.

What makes Greyman different from traditional security companies?

+

Traditional security systems are reactive—they alert you after a breach has begun. Greyman systems use active-defense technology that intervenes in real time.

Our fog cannon systems deploy instantly when intrusion is detected, creating complete visual denial and stopping theft in progress. This buys critical time for response and dramatically reduces loss compared to passive alarm systems.

We engineer security that acts, not just alerts.

What areas do you serve?

+

We primarily serve Barbados and the wider Caribbean region. We provide:

  • On-site security assessments
  • Professional installation services
  • System commissioning and testing
  • Ongoing support and maintenance

Contact us to confirm service availability in your specific location.

Do you work with residential clients or only commercial?

+

We work with both residential and commercial clients. Our systems scale from single-location homes to multi-site commercial operations.

Residential: High-value homes, estates, gated properties
Commercial: Retail stores, warehouses, offices, industrial facilities

Are your systems legal and compliant?

+

Yes. All our systems comply with local regulations and safety standards. Fog cannon systems use non-toxic, harmless fog that dissipates naturally and leaves no residue.

We ensure all installations meet building codes, electrical standards, and security equipment regulations in your jurisdiction.

Fog Cannon Systems

Everything about our Density® fog cannon active-defense technology.

How do fog cannon systems work?

+

When intrusion is detected (via sensors, alarms, or manual trigger), the fog cannon activates instantly and floods the protected space with dense, vision-obscuring fog in under 48 seconds.

Key Facts:
• Fills 500 m³ in 48 seconds
• 100% visual denial—intruders can't see what they came to steal
• Non-toxic, harmless fog that dissipates naturally
• Buys 15-20 minutes of response time

The fog creates disorientation and removes the intruder's ability to target assets, dramatically reducing theft effectiveness.

Is the fog safe for people and property?

+

Yes, completely safe. The fog is:

  • Non-toxic and hypoallergenic
  • Safe for humans and animals
  • Leaves no residue on surfaces or products
  • Does not damage electronics or inventory
  • Dissipates naturally within 45-60 minutes

The fog is based on food-grade glycol—the same compound used in theatrical fog machines.

What areas can fog cannons protect?

+

Fog cannons are available in multiple models to cover different spaces:

  • Small: 5-30 m² (offices, small retail)
  • Medium: 30-80 m² (retail stores, showrooms)
  • Large: 80-170 m² (warehouses, large retail)

Multiple units can be networked to protect larger facilities or multi-room environments.

How often does the fog cannon need refilling?

+

Fog cannons hold enough fluid for multiple activations. A typical unit can deploy 20-40 times before requiring refill, depending on the model and deployment duration.

We provide regular maintenance visits to check fluid levels, test systems, and refill as needed. Most commercial clients require refills every 12-24 months under normal conditions.

Can fog cannons be integrated with existing alarms?

+

Yes. Fog cannons integrate seamlessly with most security systems including:

  • Traditional alarm panels
  • Motion sensors and door contacts
  • Surveillance cameras with analytics
  • Access control systems
  • Monitoring station services

We configure the system to trigger based on your specific security protocols and threat scenarios.

AI Surveillance & Cameras

Smart camera systems with artificial intelligence and advanced analytics.

What makes AI surveillance different from regular cameras?

+

AI-powered cameras don't just record—they analyze and respond to what they see:

  • Object Recognition: Distinguish between people, vehicles, and animals
  • Behavior Analysis: Detect loitering, running, fighting, or falls
  • Perimeter Protection: Virtual tripwires and intrusion zones
  • Reduced False Alarms: Ignores trees, shadows, and harmless motion

This means you get actionable alerts, not constant notifications about irrelevant movement.

Can I view cameras remotely?

+

Yes. All our surveillance systems include secure remote access via:

  • Mobile apps (iOS and Android)
  • Web browsers (desktop/laptop)
  • Cloud or local network viewing

You can view live feeds, playback recordings, and receive alerts from anywhere with an internet connection.

How long are recordings stored?

+

Storage duration depends on your system configuration:

  • Standard: 7-14 days of continuous recording
  • Extended: 30-60 days with additional storage
  • Event-Based: Months of footage when recording only on motion/alerts

We design storage capacity based on your camera count, resolution settings, and retention requirements.

Do cameras work at night?

+

Yes. All our cameras feature:

  • Infrared Night Vision: See up to 30-50 meters in complete darkness
  • Starlight Technology: Color imaging in very low light
  • Smart IR: Prevents overexposure of close objects

Cameras automatically switch between day and night modes based on lighting conditions.

Installation & Setup

What to expect during the installation process.

How long does installation take?

+

Installation time depends on system complexity:

  • Single fog cannon + 2-4 cameras: 4-6 hours
  • Multi-room fog system + 8-12 cameras: 1-2 days
  • Full commercial deployment: 2-5 days

We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation based on your specific requirements.

What does the installation process include?

+

Complete end-to-end service:

  1. Site Assessment: Evaluate layout, risks, and requirements
  2. System Design: Custom configuration for your environment
  3. Professional Installation: Mounting, wiring, and network setup
  4. System Integration: Connect all devices and platforms
  5. Testing & Commissioning: Verify all functions work correctly
  6. Training: Show you how to operate and monitor your system

You receive a fully operational, tested system—not just equipment.

Do I need to be present during installation?

+

You should be present for:

  • Initial site walkthrough: To discuss placement and priorities
  • Final training session: To learn system operation

For the actual installation work, presence is optional if you've designated an on-site representative with access authority.

Can you retrofit existing buildings?

+

Yes. Most of our installations are retrofits into existing buildings. We specialize in minimally invasive installation that:

  • Uses existing conduit and infrastructure where possible
  • Minimizes drilling and wall penetration
  • Maintains building aesthetics
  • Works around operational constraints

We can install security systems in occupied buildings with minimal disruption to daily operations.
