Well, this would be true if the burglar wasn't worried about the police showing up. But if he thinks the police are going to be there in 5 mins, and he hasn't already cased the place real good, he is probably going to have a hard time stealing the good stuff. If the fog is thick enough he won't be able to read labels. As far as being on camera, having a HD video at the entrance of the store (that records as the thief enters) is better than a lot of low quality video of robbing. So you could make up for the fog affecting the recording of the theft. That said, if he cases the place well enough, and knows how long it takes for the police to show up, the fog may not prevent the thief from getting away with expensive items.

Proper smoke cloak systems are combined with a strobe light that is completely disorienting. The strobe seems to come from everywhere - I've been in a room with one going, even the shop owner would have difficulty finding their way out. It really "isn't worth it"

  And Sirens that blast sounds that make the person place their hands over their ears. And then the room is filled with soap from a soap machine. Then a nets fall from the ceiling. Then there is a balloon drop. Finally, the room begins to spin at a rotational speed of 60 rpm. Sorry, I couldn't help my self

  That would really work, hadn't thought of adding a strobe. If you don't close your eyes immediately, before moving at all, you'd easily lose track of where you are. Strobes would also get nearby people's attention, possibly better than an alarm. That said, this video didn't seem to imply a strobe was included / recommended.

    Closing your eyes doesn't help, the strobes still seem just as bright. The light really does come from everywhere at once.

  the strobe lights draw attention to the burglar before he ever enters, so possibly he will never go in at all. google flashfog security for videos with strobe lights
