A vehicle supplied by Hybrid Motors Africa demonstrates how modern automotive technology can go beyond transportation to provide an additional layer of security and protection for vehicle owners.

A suspected thief who broke into a customer’s 2025 Changan Deepal S07 supplied by Hybrid Motors Africa has been apprehended by the Police after being captured by the vehicle’s onboard security cameras.

The incident occurred in Diaso, Western Ghana, where the suspect reportedly broke the vehicle’s rear windscreen to gain access. Fortunately, the vehicle’s Sentry Mode security system recorded the incident, including footage that helped identify the suspect.

Upon discovering the break-in, the vehicle owner, Mr. Benjamin, reviewed the security recordings and retrieved the footage, which was subsequently handed over to the Police. The recordings helped the Police identify and apprehend the suspect, who is now in their custody.

Interestingly, the technology also caught the attention of the Police officers, who were reportedly impressed by the vehicle’s ability to record activities around it even when locked and unattended.

Beyond Transportation: The Security Advantage of Modern Vehicles

Modern vehicles are increasingly incorporating intelligent technologies that extend far beyond conventional driving functions. Features such as Sentry Mode allow compatible vehicles to monitor and record activity around them while parked, providing owners with valuable security footage when incidents occur.

This incident demonstrates the practical benefits of such technology. A vehicle is no longer simply a means of transportation; it can also serve as an additional layer of security for its owner.
