By utilising AI-powered threat detection at your property boundary, scOS proactively prevents crime before it happens. Multiple cameras work in tandem, constantly analysing the environment, identifying potential threats like fake vehicle registration plates with its DVLA verification system. The system learns your family's routines and recognises deliveries, only alerting you to genuine risks. This autonomous response, with lights activating and speakers engaging, creates a powerful deterrent. Most burglars make their decision within 60 seconds – the visible presence of scOS can be enough to make them move on, avoiding the need for reactive measures altogether. While standard security systems have their place, scOS offers a level of proactive protection unmatched by traditional methods.
