Enhancing Security in Yeadon

With Yeadon experiencing a property crime rate of 47.0 per 1,000 people, prioritising home and property security is a practical consideration for residents.

By learning your routines, scOS only alerts on genuine threats, providing an autonomous response with activated lights and engaging speakers to destroy the element of surprise.
