KayJay Securities said last week it has introduced a high-tech alarm or security panel for households to prevent burglaries that is reported to be high in Sri Lanka.
At a press briefing in Colombo, Kushan Johnpulle, Director, KayJay Securities said that the installation of this device is a worthwhile investment and simple and easy to operate.
He told The Sunday Times FT that one need not fear once the power goes off or robbers cutting the power supply. He said that the moment the power goes off the back-up battery in the alarm device automatically takes over and would operate for 48 hours.
Mr Johnpulle said that in 2007 according to official figures there were 12,666 burglaries in Sri Lanka and added that with the global economic recession, crime, in particular burglaries, are increasing in the world.
Citing one example how their system is effective, he said burglars tried to break into the house of a client (who was away) but the system detected the forced entry and triggered the alarm. The intruders panicked and ran away.
The alarm raised four SOS calls - two calls dispatched to the owners and the other two alerts to KayJay headquarters and the area supervisor.
Mr Johnpulle said that their alarm panel could not only save valuables from burglars, but also save lives. |
