GHANAIANS can now heave a sigh of relief with the introduction of the modern UR fog anti-theft security system, a world-class crime prevention security technology, into the country.

Introducing the device at a well-attended stakeholders’ launch in Accra, the Managing Director of Rights Consult, Mr Godwin Kofi Akuamoah, said UR fog system instantly impairs visibility at crime scenes within seconds of the device being triggered.

He said odourless fog is instantly emitted and stays in the room for more than 40 minutes, allowing for intrusion alarms to trigger, signalling security authorities in the progress.

Mr Akuamoah expressed confidence that the alarming rate of armed robbery and domestic break-ins will be a thing of the past with the patronage of UR fog.

Harmless

He said the product is harmless to humans, animals, the environment, etc, and has met regulatory standards both locally and at the international level.

He also said it is very portable and can be mounted anywhere in a room, adding that the installation process is very easy.

The MD said the product is designed to prevent burglary in banks, public institutions, warehouses, forex bureaus, homes and high-security-risk establishments like the seat of government, Parliament, and the courts. He, therefore, urged institutions which are conscious about their security to take a second look at their operations and go for the appropriate technology.

On the use of mirrors to scan the exterior of vehicles entering public places like hotels and embassies, Mr Akuamoah described the practice as outmoded, adding that new technologies have been introduced with safer features, instead of the use of mirrors.

“For example, there is a new system in place where a vehicle will just drive over a panel at the entrance of a place and the under of the vehicle will appear on a screen. That is not only more modern but also ensures optimal security,” he stressed.

Mr Akuamoah added that the new technology has the capacity to save the details of the car, as well as the brand and registration number, onto a database so the next time that same car enters the area with alterations in the under carriage, the security personnel will quickly be alerted for more checks to done on the car.

“This holding of mirrors to check cars is a thing of the past. Criminals are using new technologies to outwit the authorities in their operations in recent times,” he cautioned.

He said his company has been able to deploy the new technology in the country and it is so far making strides in the maintenance of security.

He called on institutions and all individuals not take their security for granted as technology has been made available for ensuring safety.
