Hyderabad: Cellular operator Bharti Cellular Ltd has for the first time in India launched a unique vehicle black box (VBB) security system - Mcops in Hyderabad on Wednesday in collaboration with Mumbai-based Micro Technologies.

To be launched all over India in due course of time, Mcops will have features like intrusion detection, audio alert, visual alert, immobilisation confirmation and two-way communication. The two-way intrusion detection security (IDS) system enables a car owner to detect any unauthorised access to one’s own car.

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.

According Bharti Cellular chief operating officer of AP circle, K Srinivas, the integration of SMS service with car security service is yet another demonstration of a continued effort to make a difference in the lives of Bharti’s customers.

The company will roll out the new system across its centres in due course of time, he added.
