Proactive Protection for Your Home in Cambois

With Cambois experiencing a property crime rate of 39.8 per 1,000 residents, which is above the UK average, residents should prioritise robust home security. Relying solely on traditional security systems that merely record incidents after a break-in offers little in terms of real prevention. For genuine peace of mind and proactive protection, consider advanced solutions. An AI-powered home security operating system like scOS is designed to prevent crime before it escalates. Unlike reactive cameras, scOS uses multi-camera intelligence to detect threats at your property boundary, not just within your home. Its ability to verify vehicles with DVLA integration and learn your daily routines means it can accurately differentiate real threats, providing timely alerts and autonomous responses. By activating lights and speakers, scOS creates a powerful deterrent that destroys an intruder's element of surprise, often causing them to move on within 60 seconds. This professional-grade approach offers a significant advantage over basic DIY systems, providing serious protection against property-related crimes prevalent in the area.
