-Dr Sheikh Anwar Ullah Khoundkar Aakash;
In the recent years bank robbery, terrorist attacks and violence have become a major pain. In each incident large number of defence less civilians are subjected to the raw brutality. Despite all the efforts of the law enforcement and authorities and all the cctv cameras, loss of lives and problems in finding the criminals still happen a lot.
But what if the cctv cameras could do much more than just record videos? What if a special non lethal weapon was installed with the hidden camera, that could be controlled by a remote device and be used to disarm armed criminals and neutralize the threats.
A special type of non lethal gun could be installed within the cctv cameras. This gun could be rotated, positioned and fired using a remote control device and aimed using the views of the camera installed within the same system.
This guns may contain non lethal tranquilizer rounds capable of putting the attacker to a state of deep sleep for long enough to capture them alive and arrest them for questioning.
(Point to be noted that in the recent terrorist attacks, the terrorists were seemingly prepared for their own demise and seemed they were all prepared for happily dieing in their missions, hence it will actually be a greater success if they could be captured alive, that will be beating them in their own game)
Other non lethal weapon options can be tear gas, pepper spray, smoke screen, allergy inducing chemistry, stink bombs, stun guns, electric shock inflicting darts, hot water sprays, itching powder, sneezing/coughing powder or a combination of more than two. There may also be guns with fire extinguisher options for emergency cases.
A special infrared laser guiding system installed around the gun barrel shall help to accurately pin point the target.
Special security officers in a secured place will keep watchful eyes on the monitors. A special yet rather simple to use remote control shall be used to position the gun and zoom in the camera to pin point targets. A special infrared laser invisible to naked eye but visible in the camera monitor will help the operator aim the gun with pin point accuracy. When under attack by terrorists or robbers these, tranquilizer darts will be shot from the hidden guns using the remote controls and the dangerous situations can actually be handled quite easily, safely.
Criminals are known to sabotage cctv cameras, and it could be a big problem if the criminals break the camera and find the guns. Solution is to hide the camera guided guns by disguising them as something none shall suspect.
Having a large visible decoy camera could help distract the criminals while the gun cams can be disguised as something completely different, eg. The frame/stand holding the camera.
With the hidden cameras surrounding the decoy camera, criminals won't have a clue!
Using the remote controls security officers will be able to control these defence devices with ease and even the most dangerous situations can actually be handled quite easily and safely and may be there won't be any loss of lives at all.
