Babcock University Installs Mobile Security Architecture for Campus Surveillance

Babcock University has bolstered its campus security with the installation of a state-of-the-art mobile security architecture. This advanced system is designed to provide continuous, 24-hour surveillance within and around the university grounds, extending to the nearby forest zone.

The sophisticated setup features drone capabilities and a central control room situated in the New Horizons Building within the Computer Science Department. A large screen display in the control room allows for comprehensive visibility and monitoring of the campus environment.

Mr. Tim Akano, CEO of New Horizons, presented the mobile security architecture, highlighting that the security gadgets were donated based on a long-standing partnership between his company and the university. He stated the donation is a contribution to addressing insecurity on campus. New Horizons will also train the university's security personnel before handing over full control of the system.

Akano emphasized the dynamic nature of security threats, noting that perpetrators constantly innovate. "Security is a moving target. It’s not static, it keeps changing because those engineering insecurity, keep innovating, they keep inventing new ways to carry out their crimes. Therefore, institutions like Babcock University also needs to be ahead of the perpetrators, and that is the main reason for the donation," he said.

Vice Chancellor Prof. Afolarin Olutunde Ojewole expressed gratitude for the donation, acknowledging New Horizons' commitment to enhancing safety at Babcock University.
