This innovative system is designed to prevent crime at your property boundary, stopping intruders before they can cause damage. Its multi-camera intelligence ensures no blind spots, watching all cameras simultaneously, and its pattern learning capabilities can differentiate between family and potential threats, drastically reducing false alarms. With DVLA vehicle verification, suspicious vehicles can be identified instantly. When a threat is detected, scOS can autonomously activate lights and speakers, destroying the element of surprise and often deterring burglars within their crucial 60-second decision window. Opting for professional-grade, proactive security offers a superior level of defence for your home in Gunness.
