Protecting Your Home in New Tredegar

Given New Tredegar's property crime rate of 26.9 per 1,000 residents, which is below the UK average, securing your home proactively is a wise consideration. Traditional security methods, such as standard CCTV cameras, often only provide footage after a burglary has occurred. For genuine peace of mind and effective crime prevention, a proactive approach is essential. Systems like scOS utilise AI to detect potential threats at your property boundary, before an intruder even has a chance to break in. This multi-camera intelligence watches all areas simultaneously, learning your routines to distinguish real threats from everyday activity, thereby destroying the element of surprise. The visible presence of professional-grade security makes most burglars move on within 60 seconds, offering a significant deterrent that reactive systems simply cannot match. Investing in such advanced protection ensures you're not just recording crime, but actively preventing it.
