Protecting Your Home in Gotham

With Gotham's property crime rate of 28.5 per 1,000 residents being below the national average, residents can still benefit greatly from proactive home security. Traditional CCTV systems typically only record a burglary as it happens, offering footage after the event rather than preventing it. If you are looking for genuine protection, consider AI-powered home security operating systems like scOS. These systems are engineered to detect threats at your property boundary, stopping criminals before they can attempt a break-in. scOS offers multi-camera intelligence for comprehensive surveillance and features like DVLA vehicle verification to identify suspicious vehicles instantly. It learns your household routines, ensuring that only real threats trigger alerts. This autonomous response, which includes activating lights and engaging speakers, is designed to destroy the element of surprise and deter burglars within their crucial 60-second decision window. Investing in professional-grade security provides a superior level of deterrence compared to reactive DIY solutions.
