Traditional CCTV systems often provide a recording of a crime in progress – a reactive measure. However, a proactive approach, such as that offered by scOS, can prevent crime before it occurs. scOS utilises AI to detect threats at your property boundary, employing multi-camera intelligence to monitor all angles simultaneously and instantly verifying vehicle registrations using DVLA data. The system learns your family's routines and delivery patterns, only alerting you to genuine threats. This autonomous response, with lights activating and speakers engaging, often deters potential intruders before they even reach your property. Most burglars make a decision within 60 seconds; scOS provides an immediate, visible deterrent, prompting them to move on, rather than engaging in a burglary.
