The scOS Intelligence Hub is the 'brain' of your security system. Unlike traditional DVRs that simply record footage, the Hub processes video data in real-time using advanced neural networks. It is designed to understand context—distinguishing between a delivery driver, a neighbour, or a potential intruder. By processing this data locally before sending encrypted alerts to your phone, it ensures lightning-fast response times. The Hub also manages the proactive elements of your system, such as triggering the built-in deterrent lights and AI voice commands when a genuine threat is detected on your property. It is the central point that makes your home truly 'smart' and secure.

Yes, we provide professional CCTV installation across all rural areas of Buckinghamshire. We understand the unique challenges of rural properties, such as long driveways, multiple outbuildings, and variable internet connectivity. Our engineers are experienced in positioning cameras to provide maximum coverage of entry points and vulnerable areas like garages or stables. Whether you're in a secluded farmhouse or a village semi-detached, we ensure your system is optimised for your specific layout. We also offer advice on the best camera types for low-light rural environments to ensure you get clear footage regardless of the time of day.

scOS is fundamentally different because it is proactive rather than reactive. Most CCTV systems are 'passive'—they record a crime as it happens, providing you with a video of the event after the damage is done. scOS uses AI to detect suspicious behaviour before a crime is committed. When the system identifies a person loitering or approaching an entry point at an unusual time, it can activate bright LED lights and use an AI voice to warn them away. This immediate intervention is often enough to deter criminals, preventing the break-in entirely. Additionally, our 'zero false alarm' technology means you won't be bothered by pets or wind.

Data privacy is our top priority. All video footage and data captured by your scOS system are stored on secure, encrypted servers located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and unlike many other security companies, we do not store your data on overseas servers. Only you have access to your live feeds and recorded footage through our secure app. Even our support staff cannot view your cameras without your explicit permission. This ensures that your private life remains private, providing you with security without compromising your personal data or family's privacy.

In rural Buckinghamshire, where police response times can average 15 minutes or more, a proactive system is essential. Local crime in rural areas often targets high-value vehicles, garden machinery, and outbuildings. Because help isn't always around the corner, your security system needs to be able to fend for itself. scOS's ability to deter intruders through light and sound provides that crucial first response. By the time an intruder hears the AI voice, they know they've been spotted and that the police are being alerted, which usually leads to them leaving the property immediately, saving you from the trauma of a break-in.

Our installation process is designed to be seamless and professional. A standard installation in a typical Buckinghamshire home usually takes between 3 to 5 hours. This includes the physical mounting of the cameras, the setup of the Intelligence Hub, and the configuration of the scOS app on your devices. Our engineers will also spend time walking you through the system, showing you how to set up 'no-go' zones and how to use the vehicle recognition features. We ensure all wiring is neat and discreet, respecting the aesthetic of your home, and we won't leave until you are completely comfortable using your new system.

The scOS system is highly effective for driveway security. Our AI-powered vehicle recognition doesn't just see a car; it identifies the make, model, and registration. It cross-references this data with the DVLA to ensure the plates match the vehicle, which is a key way to spot criminals using 'cloned' plates. If an unrecognised vehicle enters your driveway, you'll get an instant, specific alert. You can also set the system to welcome you home by recognising your own car, or even let you know when your MOT or Tax is due. It's a comprehensive way to protect your vehicles and monitor access to your property.

Our monthly subscription, starting from £19, covers the ongoing intelligence services that keep your home safe. This includes the AI processing power for human and vehicle detection, secure UK-based cloud storage for your footage, and regular software updates to ensure your system always has the latest security features. It also provides you with access to our UK-based customer support team. Unlike 'dumb' cameras that require you to manage your own storage and troubleshooting, the subscription ensures your system is always 'on guard' and functioning at its peak without any hidden costs or technical headaches for you.

Absolutely. The scOS app is available for both iOS and Android devices, allowing you to monitor your home from anywhere in the world. You can view live feeds, scroll through recorded events, and receive real-time notifications if the AI detects a threat. The app is designed to be intuitive—you won't be flooded with alerts for every moving leaf, only for genuine events like a person entering your garden. You can also use the app to manually trigger the deterrent lights or speak through the camera if you need to communicate with a visitor or delivery driver while you're away.

The number of cameras you need depends on the layout and size of your property. For a typical semi-detached or detached house in Buckinghamshire, we usually recommend a minimum of two to three cameras to cover the main entry points: the front door/driveway, the rear garden, and any side access. However, rural properties with large grounds or multiple outbuildings may require more. During our initial consultation, we'll assess your property's specific vulnerabilities and recommend a tailored setup that provides 360-degree protection without unnecessary overlap. Our goal is to ensure there are no 'blind spots' where an intruder could hide.
