Search was made for an advanced gadget to match aim of smart policing-combining videography, storage of data related to missing persons, stolen vehicles, direct interfacing of call taker at Control Room with I/c MPV’s etc.

Initiative was taken to approach companies under CSR.  ONGC showed willingness to provide Phablets that would reduce Response time especially in case of women caller in distress & Road accident victims.

The Samsung galaxy tabs( ) emerged as the appropriate technology with features such as Minimum 32 Bit Quad Core 1.2 GHz, Minimum 5 MP Camera, 7 inch display screen, 8 GB minimum internal storage, 3G connectivity and battery 3600 MAH alloying operation for more than  08 hours continuously.
