scOS is a revolutionary leap forward from traditional CCTV. While standard systems simply record footage to a hard drive for you to review after a crime, scOS uses Artificial Intelligence to intervene in real-time. It's designed to prevent crime rather than just document it. The system uses advanced algorithms to distinguish between harmless movement—like a fox or a delivery driver—and suspicious behaviour. When it detects a genuine threat, it can activate high-intensity lights and even use an AI voice to warn the intruder they are being recorded. This proactive approach often scares off criminals before they even attempt to enter your property. Based entirely in the UK, scOS offers a level of intelligent protection that traditional 'dumb' cameras simply cannot match.

When motion is detected, the scOS Intelligence Hub immediately begins analysing the scene. It doesn't just see pixels; it understands context. If the movement is identified as a person in a restricted area at an unusual time, the system enters a 'pre-alert' state. It can then trigger a sequence of deterrents. This might start with a subtle light activation to let the person know they've been spotted. If they persist, the system can escalate to a verbal warning and a high-priority notification to your smartphone. Because the AI is so accurate, you won't be bothered by 'false positives' like wind-blown trees or shadows, meaning when your phone does buzz, you know it's something that requires your attention.

Absolutely. We provide professional CCTV installation across the entire Hemel Hempstead area, including Boxmoor, Apsley, Leverstock Green, and Gadebridge. Our local technicians understand the specific layouts of Hemel homes, from the newer builds in The Avenue to the established detached properties in Felden. We don't just 'fit' cameras; we strategically position them to ensure maximum coverage of your property's vulnerable points. Because we are local, we can usually offer installation dates within a week of your enquiry, ensuring your home is protected as quickly as possible. We handle everything from the initial site survey to the final configuration of the scOS app on your phone.

While Hemel Hempstead generally aligns with the UK national average for crime, certain areas experience higher rates of vehicle theft or 'opportunistic' garden thefts. Our scOS system is particularly effective here because of its vehicle recognition features. By tracking cars that enter your driveway and checking their details against the DVLA database, we can provide an extra layer of security for your vehicles. If a car with cloned plates or a history of suspicious activity enters your street, scOS can alert you. We tailor every installation to the specific risks of your street, whether that's protecting a rear garden that backs onto public land or a front driveway exposed to the road.

We install high-specification, weather-resistant cameras that are specifically designed to work seamlessly with the scOS Intelligence Hub. These aren't generic off-the-shelf cameras; they feature high-definition sensors, superior night vision, and integrated two-way audio. The cameras are built to withstand the British weather and provide crystal-clear footage in both bright sunlight and total darkness. More importantly, they are 'edge-ready,' meaning they can process some of the AI data locally for faster response times. During your consultation, we'll help you choose the right number and type of cameras for your specific property layout.

Yes, the scOS app gives you full control of your security system from anywhere in the world. Whether you're at work in the town centre, shopping at the Marlowes, or on holiday abroad, you can view live feeds, playback recorded events, and even talk through the cameras. The app is designed to be intuitive and fast. You can also customise your notification settings, so you're only alerted for the things you care about. If the AI deters an intruder while you're away, you'll receive a 'threat deterred' notification with a short clip of the event, giving you instant peace of mind without having to sift through hours of footage.

The Intelligence Hub is the 'brain' of your scOS system. Unlike traditional DVRs that just store video, the Hub performs the complex AI processing required to identify threats and manage the proactive deterrents. It's a compact, powerful device that sits inside your home and connects to your cameras and your internet router. It's designed for maximum security and reliability, ensuring that even if your internet connection drops, the local AI features and recording still function. It also manages the secure, encrypted upload of important events to our UK-based cloud storage, ensuring your data is always safe and accessible.

Privacy is at the core of everything we do. Your footage is stored securely on the scOS Intelligence Hub in your home, with encrypted backups of 'events' stored in our UK-based, Tier-3 data centres. Unlike many other providers, we do not store your data on overseas servers. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we use end-to-end encryption to ensure that only you (and people you explicitly authorise) can view your footage. We don't sell your data, and our AI processing is designed to respect the privacy of your neighbours by allowing you to mask out public areas or adjacent properties from the detection zones.

In Hemel Hempstead, our professional installation starts with a transparent process. We don't believe in hidden fees. The cost depends on the number of cameras and the complexity of the wiring, but we provide a fixed-price quote after a brief consultation. Our subscription starts from just £19 per month, which covers the scOS AI services, the Intelligence Hub, UK-based cloud storage, and ongoing technical support. This small monthly fee ensures your system is always updated with the latest AI models and security patches, keeping your home protected against evolving threats. Most installations are completed within 4 to 6 hours with minimal disruption to your home.

scOS is designed to be versatile and works perfectly on all types of Hemel Hempstead properties. Whether you live in a modern semi-detached house in Nash Mills, a large detached home in Felden, or a terraced property near the town centre, we can design a layout that provides comprehensive coverage. For larger properties, we might recommend additional cameras to cover side passages or large rear gardens. For smaller homes, a two-camera system covering the front and back is often sufficient. Our installers are experts at discreetly running cables and positioning cameras to complement the aesthetics of your home while maximising security.
