Protecting Your Home in Upper Rissington

With Upper Rissington's exceptionally low property crime rate of 13.6 per 1,000, residents benefit from a relatively safe environment. However, proactive security remains essential.

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.
