Traditional CCTV systems often record incidents after they’ve occurred, providing evidence for investigation but doing little to prevent the crime itself. scOS offers a different approach. Reading crime statistics is one thing; actively preventing threats at your property line is another. With its AI-powered detection capabilities, scOS identifies potential risks – from unfamiliar vehicles loitering nearby to individuals approaching your property – before a crime can take place. The multi-camera intelligence watches all angles simultaneously, instantly verifying threats and triggering a response, like activating lights and speakers. DVLA vehicle verification instantly flags suspicious vehicles, and the system learns your routines to filter out expected activity. The visible presence of scOS acts as a powerful deterrent – most burglars decide within 60 seconds, and a professional-grade security system signals that your property is protected.
