Protecting Your Home in Avening

With Avening's exceptionally low property crime rate of 9.1 per 1,000, residents benefit from a relatively secure environment. However, proactive security remains essential, especially with the recent increase in overall crime. Traditional security cameras only record incidents, providing evidence after a crime has occurred. For superior protection, consider an AI-powered home security operating system like scOS. This technology prevents crime by detecting threats at the property boundary, before entry is gained. With multi-camera intelligence, scOS learns your routines and alerts only on real threats, offering an autonomous response with lights and speakers to deter intruders. This proactive approach, in contrast to reactive systems, significantly reduces the likelihood of becoming a victim of property crime, ensuring your home is genuinely protected.
