scOS is fundamentally different from traditional CCTV because it is proactive rather than passive. Most systems simply record footage to a hard drive, which you might look at after a crime has occurred. scOS uses an onboard AI 'brain' called the Intelligence Hub to analyse footage in real-time. It can identify humans and vehicles, and when it detects suspicious activity, it takes action. This includes turning on lights and using voice commands to warn off intruders before they reach your door. While traditional CCTV gives you evidence, scOS gives you prevention. It's the difference between seeing who broke into your house and making sure they never get close enough to try.

Our AI is highly sophisticated and has been trained to distinguish between human movement and other common triggers. It looks for specific skeletal structures and movement patterns that are unique to humans. Similarly, it recognises the shapes and features of vehicles. This means that common causes of false alarms—such as swaying trees, shadows, pets, or local wildlife like foxes—are ignored by the system. You will only receive a notification on your phone when a person or a vehicle enters your designated alert zones. This high level of accuracy ensures that when your phone pings, you know it's something that truly deserves your attention.

The DVLA vehicle check is a unique feature of the scOS system. When a vehicle enters your driveway, our cameras capture the number plate. The Intelligence Hub then securely queries the DVLA database to retrieve information about that vehicle, such as its make, model, colour, and whether it has valid tax and MOT. This information is presented to you in the app. This is incredibly useful for identifying suspicious vehicles that might be using 'cloned' plates (where the plate doesn't match the car). It also gives you a handy reminder of when your own vehicles are due for their MOT or tax, adding a layer of convenience to your security.

Security and privacy are at the core of scOS. All your video footage is stored in high-security, Tier 3 data centres located within the UK. This ensures that your data is protected by strict UK privacy laws and GDPR regulations. Unlike many other smart camera brands that store data on servers in the US or China, scOS keeps your information close to home. We use bank-level encryption for all data transfers, and only you have access to your recordings. We believe that your home security data should be private, and our UK-centric approach is designed to give you that absolute certainty.

The scOS Intelligence Hub is the central processing unit of your security system. It's a small, powerful device that connects to your home router and your cameras. It houses the AI algorithms that analyse your video feeds in real-time. By doing the heavy lifting locally on the Hub, we can provide much faster response times than systems that rely on 'cloud' processing. The Hub also manages your local storage and provides a secure gateway for you to access your system via the scOS app. It's the 'brain' that makes your cameras smart, enabling features like human detection and proactive deterrence.

For a standard property in Langford, the installation process usually takes around half a day (4 to 5 hours). Our professional installers will arrive at a pre-agreed time and start by walking around your property with you to confirm the best camera locations. They will then install the cameras, run the necessary cables to the Intelligence Hub, and ensure everything is powered up and connected. The final part of the process involves setting up the scOS app on your devices and showing you how to use all the features. We make sure you're completely comfortable with the system before we consider the job done.

The scOS monthly subscription starts at £19 and provides you with the full suite of intelligent features.

It also covers secure UK-based cloud storage for your video history, so you can review events from the past 30 days. Additionally, the subscription includes regular software updates that continuously improve the AI's accuracy and add new features, as well as 24/7 system health monitoring and priority technical support.

Yes, the scOS system is designed to be fully accessible from your smartphone or tablet. Through the scOS app, you can view live streams from all your cameras in high definition, no matter where you are in the world. You can also review recorded events, receive instant alerts, and even interact with people on your property using the two-way audio feature. If the system detects a threat while you're away, you can use the app to manually trigger the siren or speak through the camera to deter the intruder. It gives you total control and visibility of your home security right in your pocket.

The number of cameras required varies based on the size and layout of your property, as well as your specific security concerns. For a typical detached house in Langford, we usually recommend a four-camera setup. This typically includes one camera for the front door and driveway, one for the rear garden and patio doors, and two others to cover side paths or other vulnerable entry points. During our initial consultation, we will assess your property and provide a tailored recommendation to ensure you have complete coverage with no blind spots, ensuring the AI can monitor every approach to your home.
