- SmartWater is a Police Approved Forensic Property Marking Solution that is similar in concept to DNA. The solution is simply painted onto any item of property and left for a few minutes to dry, each bottle contains a unique chemical DNA "barcode" that is registered on a secure database to the owner of the items marked.
- Studies have shown that the most powerful deterrent for any criminal is the thought that they might get caught.
- Thieves simply cannot risk handling stolen goods coded with SmartWater because 'forensic profiling' means they can be linked directly to the crime... often long after the event. Stronger and more accurate than DNA itself, SmartWater deters criminals because they know that they will be arrested and convicted.
- Just code your possessions with SmartWater and your unique formula enables them to be forensically identified.
- By displaying the SmartWater warning labels you will let criminals know that your property is protected. It's as simple as that!
Traditional property marking systems cannot code your possessions like SmartWater can. With SmartWater, not only can you code your television and other electrical items, you can even code your jewellery and sentimental items safely and discreetly. You can code pretty much anything with SmartWater: tools, golf clubs, garden furniture - whether large or small, inside or outside.
And it's so easy to apply! Just dab SmartWater into the nooks and crannies of the item you are coding and it will be virtually impossible to remove entirely. We will only need a tiny speck to identify the property as yours - and if it's been stolen, the Police can arrest, prosecute and convict the burglar.
