Abu Dhabi: A virtual security guard which can detect any attempts to break into homes and protect houses against thieves in the absence of owners is being studied by the Ministry of Interior. This contributes to enhancing the sense of security and peace of mind, a statement by the ministry added.
The project is based on modern technology and is an automatic mobile alarm installed and activated in the house and is linked to the operations room. It can determine the coordinates of the sites where the thieves illegally enter homes in the owners’ absence, and can protect owners from robberies round-the-clock.
Lt Col Nasser Sulaiman Al Maskari, Head of the Operations Department at the General Directorate of Central Operations in the Abu Dhabi Police GHQ, stressed Abu Dhabi Police’s keenness to enhance the levels of security, safety, and social responsibility. He noted that the electronic proposal or “Security Guard” will achieve significant effectiveness in combating thefts.
For his part, Major Eisa Abdullah Al Marzouqi, Strategic Planning Branch Manager at the Operations Department, said that the idea was a result of the Excellence Laboratory’s approach in monitoring creative ideas and proposals. “It represents an optimal way to inform and alert the operations room of any attempts of theft or criminal assault on a house, and enables the competent police teams to handle the incident as soon as possible after determining the location. This reflects the importance of smart applications that receive significant interest from the UAE government,” he said.
