Add a psychological deterrent to your existing security and surveillance
Introducing
PanOptic-Cloud
A free tool for neighbours to unite and fight crime with their own Virtual Panoptic Towers
The Panopticon Concept
A circular building with cells/rooms surrounding a central guard tower.
The guard tower has a direct line of sight for every cell.
The one-way glass allows guards to look out, but inmates can’t see in.
The Result Were Instant!
Inmates behaved as if they were being watched 100% of the time (Even if no guards were present in the tower)
It’s So Simple Yet So Highly Effective
The Key Condition - Inability to know if they are being watched
This is why our CCTV at home do not stop crime
A thief doesn’t mind being recorded. His biggest fear is if someone is watching right there and then.
He calculates the risk and comes when he is sure no one is watching.
THE SOLUTION:
