Protecting Your Home in Egham

With Egham's property crime rate at 30.4 per 1,000 people, prioritising proactive home security is a sensible consideration for residents. While traditional CCTV systems offer post-incident footage, they often fall short in actively preventing crime. To truly safeguard your property, consider an AI-powered home security operating system like scOS, which is designed for proactive protection. Unlike reactive solutions, scOS detects threats at the property boundary, engaging multi-camera intelligence to constantly monitor your premises. By learning your family's routines, it can differentiate between expected activity and genuine threats, ensuring you only receive alerts that matter. Upon detection, scOS can initiate an autonomous response, activating lights and speakers to disorient potential intruders and eliminate the element of surprise. This professional-grade deterrence is crucial, as most burglars make a decision within 60 seconds; a visibly robust system like scOS encourages them to move on, preventing the crime before it escalates. Investing in such advanced security provides peace of mind by actively preventing property crime in Egham.
