Get Started with scOSEven with Newhey's low property crime rate of 0.3 per 1,000 people, proactive home security, particularly for vehicles, is a smart investment.

For those seeking genuine protection, an AI-powered home security operating system like scOS offers a proactive approach. This advanced system detects threats at the property boundary before an intrusion can happen, stopping intruders before they can even attempt a break-in.
scOS leverages multi-camera intelligence to monitor all angles simultaneously, ensuring no blind spots. It can verify vehicles using DVLA data to instantly flag suspicious activity and learns your household's routines to differentiate between legitimate visitors and real threats. Should an intruder be detected, scOS can autonomously respond by activating lights and engaging speakers, destroying their element of surprise and making your property a less appealing target. This professional-grade deterrence is designed to make burglars move on within their crucial 60-second decision window, offering a level of prevention that goes beyond mere recording.
