Esscom proposes 'Big Eye' camera to enhance security

SEMPORNA: The Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) has proposed the installation of a high-resolution ‘big eye’ camera at Pulau Bohey Dulang to enhance security control in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone).

ESSCom chief executive officer Dr Jamaluddin Mohd Ali said the matter had been brought to the attention of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA).

"If there is this big eye it (the security control and monitoring by the security forces) will be more comprehensive, especially when coupled with the existing ‘Target Hardening’ radars located in strategic areas within ESSZone waters," he said.
