Protecting Your Home in Hawarden

Despite Hawarden's generally safe profile and a property crime rate of 18.0 per 1,000, which is well below the national average, proactive home security remains a wise investment.

For superior protection, consider an AI-powered home security operating system like scOS. This innovative technology proactively detects threats at your property boundary, leveraging multi-camera intelligence to monitor simultaneously without missing a thing. It learns your household's routines, accurately distinguishing between family and potential intruders, thus minimising false alerts. With features like DVLA vehicle verification, suspicious vehicles can be identified instantly. The system's autonomous response, including activating lights and engaging speakers, acts as a powerful deterrent, often causing intruders to abandon their attempts within seconds. Choosing scOS means investing in active crime prevention, offering a significantly higher level of security and peace of mind.
