SmartWater is a revolutionary property marketing system that residents and businesses in Cambridgeshire can use to protectively mark their property and fight back against thieves.

SmartWater is an invisible liquid that can be applied to your possessions. It acts as a ‘forensic fingerprint’, which links owners with their property and criminals to the crime scene. The SmartWater solution glows brightly under ultra violet light and is impossible to remove completely, so it can be used to protect all your valuables. For example:

• Mobile phones
• Jewellery
• Televisions
• Bicycles
• Computers
• Sat Navs
• DVD/CD players
• Garden tools

How does it work?

SmartWater works by coding your valuables with a unique DNA-type finger print that is created exclusively for your home or business. In the unfortunate event of your property being stolen, the police can not only identify it as stolen but it can also be returned it to its rightful owner. And if thieves are caught in possession of SmartWatered property there is no escape - it has a 100% conviction rate.

Thieves beware…

SmartWater is already being used across many other areas of the UK very successfully. Criminals fear it and it acts as a powerful deterrent against burglary and theft. In some of these areas SmartWater has reduced burglary by up to 84%. And residents who use it and display SmartWater signs in their home are now five times less likely to become a victim of burglary.
