Secual Donates Innovative Smart Security System to Tsukubamirai City

In an impressive display of community support, Secual Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has recently donated its pioneering cloud-based smart security service, "Secual Smart Security," to Tsukubamirai City in Ibaraki Prefecture. This remarkable initiative, which utilizes an application to protect both vehicles and homes, marks the first municipal adoption of this technology in Japan, emphasizing the growing collaboration between public and private sectors in tackling local safety challenges.

Background and Objectives

The rise of sophisticated electronic theft methods, such as key emulators and CAN invaders, has made vehicle theft a pressing concern in Japan. Ibaraki Prefecture has consistently ranked among the top five regions for vehicle theft in the country, with an alarming increase in reported cases expected to continue into the first half of 2025. In response to this troubling trend, Tsukubamirai City has taken a decisive stand, proclaiming that "government assets must be protected by the government itself." This clear commitment led to the decision to implement Secual Smart Security as an advanced infrastructure for crime deterrence.

By adopting this innovative security technology in its official vehicles, Tsukubamirai City is not only acting to boost local crime prevention but also setting a visible example of accountability and commitment to the safety and peace of mind of its residents. In the coming months, collaborations between Secual and local authorities will aim to promote the service among citizens, ensuring a secure community.

Secual’s broader ambition is to leverage technology as the foundation for safety, contributing to regional revitalization by addressing local challenges.

Understanding Secual Smart Security

Secual Smart Security offers a unique car security feature, which includes a specialized device that can be retrofitted to vehicles and operates through a smartphone application. The service enables remote security maneuvers, effectively disabling the vehicle's engine to prevent theft. In the unfortunate event of a car being stolen, the integrated GPS functionality allows for tracking and enhances recovery chances significantly.

Additionally, clients can expect around-the-clock support from a dedicated service center. This service is further backed by a partnership with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance, which provides coverage for damages caused to the installed devices in unforeseen accidents, allowing users to enjoy peace of mind even after installation.
