Protecting Your Property in Holmbridge

Given Holmbridge's property crime rate of 26.5 per 1,000, which is below the UK average but higher than some nearby areas, robust home security is a pertinent consideration. Traditional security cameras often serve as a reactive measure, merely recording footage of a break-in after it has occurred. For truly effective protection, a proactive approach is vital. An AI-powered home security operating system like scOS offers this by detecting threats at your property's boundary, preventing crime before it happens. Unlike basic DIY systems, scOS utilises multi-camera intelligence to monitor your entire property simultaneously, learning your routines to accurately identify real threats and avoid false alarms.
