Traditional CCTV systems often provide a record of events after a crime has occurred. While useful for investigations, they don't actively prevent incidents. scOS offers a fundamentally different approach. Using AI-powered detection, scOS watches all cameras simultaneously, identifying potential threats at your property boundary—long before a burglar attempts entry. The DVLA vehicle verification feature can instantly flag suspicious vehicles, and the system learns your family's routines, only alerting you to genuine threats. This proactive approach, combined with professional-grade equipment, creates a visible deterrent that often makes burglars reconsider their actions. Most burglars decide within those critical first 60 seconds – scOS gives you the upper hand.
