Proactive Protection for Trefonen Residents

With an increasing crime trend and a property crime rate of 9.4 per 1,000 residents in Trefonen, proactive security measures are highly advisable. Relying solely on traditional CCTV, which often only provides footage after a burglary, offers limited protection. Advanced systems like scOS are designed to prevent crime proactively by detecting threats at the property boundary. This AI-powered approach utilises multi-camera intelligence to monitor all areas simultaneously, learning daily routines to distinguish legitimate activity from potential threats. When a real threat is identified, scOS can trigger an autonomous response, such as activating lights or engaging speakers, effectively destroying the element of surprise that burglars rely on. Investing in such professional-grade deterrence can significantly reduce the risk of becoming a victim, making the 60-second decision easy for intruders – they move on.
