Protecting Your Home in Yarnfield BUA

Understanding crime statistics, particularly property crime, is the first step towards enhancing your home's security. In Yarnfield Built-Up Area, property-related crimes stand at 6.6 per 1,000 residents, which is significantly lower than the national average. While traditional security measures like CCTV record incidents, they often provide footage of a burglary rather than preventing it. Proactive protection is key to truly safeguarding your home. Systems like scOS utilise AI to detect threats at your property boundary, stopping potential intruders before they gain entry. This multi-camera intelligence watches all areas simultaneously, learning your routines to distinguish genuine threats from everyday activity.

Choosing professional-grade equipment signals serious protection, making your property a less attractive target compared to homes with reactive, after-the-fact systems.
