Protecting Your Home in Five Oak Green

Given Five Oak Green's property crime rate of 15.0 per 1,000 people, residents may wish to consider robust home security measures. While traditional CCTV systems often only provide footage after an incident, modern solutions like scOS offer proactive protection. Instead of simply recording a burglary, scOS uses AI to detect threats at your property boundary, acting before a break-in occurs. By leveraging multi-camera intelligence, DVLA vehicle verification, and pattern learning, scOS distinguishes real threats from routine activities. This enables an autonomous response, activating lights and engaging speakers to deter intruders, effectively destroying the element of surprise. Most burglars decide within 60 seconds whether to proceed; visible and intelligent deterrence makes them move on. The right security system makes that decision easy, positioning professional-grade equipment as a serious barrier against property crime.
