Protecting Your Home in Horbury

With a property crime rate of 22.5 per 1,000 in Horbury, securing your home is a key consideration.

An AI-powered home security operating system like scOS is designed to prevent crime before it happens, by detecting threats at your property's boundary. Unlike reactive systems, scOS utilises multi-camera intelligence to monitor simultaneously, learning your routines to differentiate between legitimate activity and real threats.
