Protecting Your Home in Broseley

With a property crime rate of 17.7 per 1,000, Broseley residents face a considerably lower risk compared to the UK average. However, even in areas with good safety records, proactive home security is crucial to deter opportunistic criminals targeting properties for burglary, criminal damage, and vehicle crime. Relying solely on reactive security, such as traditional CCTV, often means you only get footage of a burglary after it has happened. For genuine peace of mind, consider a proactive approach with scOS, an AI-powered home security operating system. scOS goes beyond recording by actively preventing crime before it occurs. Its intelligent system monitors all cameras simultaneously, uses DVLA vehicle verification, and learns routines to distinguish between genuine threats and everyday activity. When a threat is detected at your property boundary, scOS can autonomously activate lights and engage speakers, destroying the element of surprise and deterring intruders, making your property a less attractive target.
