Enhancing Your Property's Protection in St Erme and Trispen

With St Erme and Trispen's property crime rate at 9.5 per 1,000 residents, which is well below the national average, it's natural for homeowners to consider how best to secure their properties.

This AI-powered home security operating system is designed to prevent crime before it happens by detecting threats at the property boundary, rather than after a break-in. Utilising multi-camera intelligence, scOS can monitor all cameras simultaneously and learn your routines to distinguish between routine activity and genuine threats. This real-time intervention, which can include activating lights and engaging speakers, aims to deter potential intruders within 60 seconds, a critical window where most burglars decide whether to proceed. For comprehensive protection that actively prevents crime, considering a professional-grade system like scOS offers a robust alternative to reactive security measures.
