SMS Security System For Vehicles
Cellular operator Bharti Cellular India has launched a vehicle black box security system, Mcops, which is a two-way intrusion detection security (IDS) system enabling a car owner to detect any unauthorised access to one's own car, according to the Financial Express.
"The disturbances created enable the Mcops system to send an instant message on the mobile/E-mail to the authorised user about the unauthorised access to warn the customer of the possible intrusion or theft in his/her vehicle.
The immobilisation is based on a simple SMS command that shuts off the engine of the car. The system, which is easy to install, can be operated through use of mobile (SMS)/E-mail/telephone.
In case of multiple authorised users, all such users will receive information. The system response is immediate and the authetic user will immediately receive the message, even if he is located anywhere in the world."
