Power in a canister: key SmartTag® advantages
- Offers rapid, ranged offender tagging capability
- Minimises need for physical confrontation through deterrent
- Invisible forensic coding supports investigations
- Quick, responsible response method
SmartTag provides key situational control and evidence capture literally in a canister. By accurately spraying SmartWater forensic liquid from a 10 metre distance, professionals minimise unsafe physical interaction while establishing an offender link. Not only does this reduce physical contact between security personnel and the individual, but it’s likely to prevent further escalation as the individual is aware they are now traceable to the event.
Your smarter partner anywhere
- Discreet low profile avoids heightening tension
- No annual fees or rental costs
- Requires no WiFi or batteries
- User assignable ID codes add accountability
- Easy maintenance with durable construction
SmartTag stands ready without draining budgets, going offline or escalating encounters with overt recording tech. The compact unit travels inconspicuously so professionals project approachability, not intimidation. With no subscriptions or power needs, SmartTag’s instant response harnesses the latest forensic innovations for affordable, owner-controlled incident management.
Smart support across a range of scenarios
- Low light confrontations
- Responding to concealed threats
- Traffic stop emergencies
- Monitoring large crowd events
- Pursuing fleeing suspects
With its quick-release spray reach, SmartTag enables clear identification of offenders even in dark settings. The discreet sound and stream also avoids alarming concealed dangers not yet confirmed as threats. For traffic incidents involving uncooperative violators, quick coding enables safer threat containment by visibly marking the individuals for positive identification.
Additionally, SmartTag avoids spraying noticeable colours that could spark panic in crowds. If a culprit attempts to flee, the quick spray guarantees they will be visibly marked for later identification and apprehension. The presence of SmartTag also acts as a deterrent—door staff can announce that uncooperative individuals will be sprayed with the forensic solution, often de-escalating confrontations. SmartTag helps increase safety in hazardous scenarios like poor lighting, potential ambushes, traffic situations or crowd control by enabling clear marking for evidence without escalating tensions. This added capability makes responding feel more secure for personnel.
