These modifications include steel window bars, alarm systems and surveillance cameras. These can be put in both inside and outside the container to make it harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access.
A tunnel container can also be equipped with a high-security lock. This locks the door shut and prevents anyone else from opening the door.
