Enhancing Home Security in Appleby-in-Westmorland

With Appleby-in-Westmorland's property crime rate at 17.3 per 1,000 residents, which is notably lower than the national average, proactive home security remains a sensible consideration. Traditional CCTV systems often only provide footage after a burglary has occurred, acting reactively.

It uses multi-camera intelligence to detect threats in real-time, even verifying vehicles with DVLA integration. By learning your routines, it can distinguish real threats from everyday activities, activating lights and speakers to deter intruders before they can cause damage. This approach destroys the element of surprise, making burglars reconsider and move on within moments, offering a level of security that goes beyond mere recording.
