Protecting Your Property in Greenham

Given Greenham's property crime rate of 15.4 per 1,000 residents, which is well below the national average, it remains a relatively secure area. However, focusing solely on reactive security, such as traditional CCTV, means you often only get footage after a burglary has occurred, rather than preventing it. If you seek genuine protection for your home, a proactive approach is vital. AI-powered home security operating systems like scOS are designed to detect threats at your property boundary, intervening to stop criminals before they can even attempt a break-in. Unlike basic DIY systems that merely provide alerts after the fact, professional-grade deterrence systems actively engage in real-time. Most burglars decide within 60 seconds whether to proceed; a visible and active security presence makes them reconsider and move on. Investing in advanced, preventive security can further enhance the safety and security of your Greenham home.
