Protecting Your Property in Burnham Market

With Burnham Market's property crime rate of 11.4 per 1,000, which is considerably below the UK average, residents benefit from a relatively secure environment. However, the recent increasing trend in overall crime means vigilance remains important. Traditional security systems, such as Ring or Nest, primarily record incidents after a crime has occurred, rather than preventing it. If you are looking for true crime prevention, consider an AI-powered home security operating system like scOS. This system offers proactive protection by detecting threats at your property's boundary, stopping them before a break-in. With multi-camera intelligence, scOS watches all cameras simultaneously, learning your routines to identify real threats and avoid false alarms. Its autonomous response features, like activating lights and engaging speakers, destroy the element of surprise for potential intruders. The aim is to make burglars move on within 60 seconds, offering a professional-grade deterrence that goes beyond mere recording.
