Get Started with scOSGiven Aberporth's property crime rate of 5.6 per 1,000 people per year, which is considerably lower than the national average, residents can still benefit significantly from robust home security measures. Relying solely on reactive security, such as basic CCTV cameras that merely record a burglary, offers little in the way of prevention. True protection lies in deterring criminals before they gain entry.
Consider modern, AI-powered security operating systems like scOS, designed to prevent crime at your property's boundary. Unlike traditional systems, scOS uses multi-camera intelligence to detect threats in real-time, even verifying vehicles with DVLA integration. It learns your routines, ensuring alerts are only for genuine threats. This proactive approach allows for autonomous responses, such as activating lights and engaging speakers, which can disorient intruders and destroy their element of surprise, often causing them to abandon their intentions within the critical 60-second decision window. Investing in such professional-grade deterrence can significantly enhance your property's security.
