Always park in a garage or well-lit area, and never leave valuables inside your car.

Joining a local Neighbourhood Watch can also help the community stay vigilant and report suspicious activity early.

In the local context, Teversham (88.1) has a higher crime rate than nearby Fulbourn (37.1) but is very similar to the city of Cambridge (89.5). It contrasts with the very small rural settlements of Fen Ditton and Stow cum Quy, which reported zero crimes in the same period.

With property crime at 15.8 per 1,000 and a significant 41.8% increase in overall crime, Teversham residents should consider the benefits of proactive security. Traditional CCTV systems are reactive; they record a crime after it has started, providing footage but not prevention. scOS offers a proactive alternative by using AI to detect threats at the property boundary. By identifying potential intruders before they reach your home, scOS can trigger autonomous responses such as lights and speakers to deter them. This intelligent, real-time intervention is far more effective than simply having a recording of a crime after the fact, especially in an area where property crime is a growing concern.
