Abstract

A security system and apparatus for a home or business is provided. The security system has a sensor connected to a liquid dispenser. The sensor is triggered upon the breaking of glass or a door of a building. The liquid dispenser, when activated, dispenses a non-toxic liquid marker. The liquid dispenser sprays a mist of the liquid on the intruder so that the intruder may be easily identified.
