NEW COMMAND UNIT MOBILE IN RISK REDUCTION

The Thorburn Mobile Command Unit, a tactical mobile workstation backed up by CCTV cameras and on board monitoring, was launched officially during the past week at the Thorburn Security Solutions offices in Pretoria.  Electronic security solutions suppliers Hayman Systems designed and build the Mobile Command Unit for Thorburn Security Solutions. Hayman Systems Managing Director Jan Louis Grobelaar  commented that “We are proud of this outcome. The design of this Mobile Command Unit allows for the support of rapid deployment, crowd facilitation and area dominance that is effective and can be easily applied. The various power supply capabilities and high level Bosch cameras with sufficient battery back up in wireless applications are unique quality features.”

Unique in the design is its variation on power supplies – solar power, electricity or generator. Whilst the solar power is convenient in remote areas and adding to environmental protection, is the downfall of the additional 200kg weight of the batteries adding to difficulty in towing the unit.

The unit was recently deployed at a music festival at Buffelsvlei  Guest Farm near Lydenburg and the first success was achieved when, after the event, culprits stealing a table were identified on the review of CCTV footage. This weekend, on Women’s Day, the unit will deploy to Morula Sun and Casino to monitor a music festival in support of the Thorburn event security officers.

The Mobile Command Unit provides flexibility in operational execution – addition workspace and adds “eyes” to areas of interest. It is especially the wireless cameras that are deployed up to 100 – 150 meters from the unit which provides depth in surveillance, backed by a dome camera.

Commenting on the new product addition to the Thorburn stable, MD Dolf Scheepers commented that “We constantly design and invest in new products and services, we adapt easily and we strive for absolute quality through a dedicated leadership team with well-motivated and cared for security officers. We see ourselves as leaders in the field. Our adherence to South African norms and standards through our black ownership, recently increased black women shareholding to 37%, Level 2 BBBEE rating, SABS ISO certification and reputation as a company that cares for communities where we operate are some of our unique features us pride ourselves on.”
