The scOS Intelligence Hub is the 'brain' of your security setup, installed discreetly inside your St Albans home. Unlike standard CCTV which just sends video to a hard drive, the Hub uses powerful AI to analyse every frame of footage locally. It looks for specific patterns of suspicious behaviour, such as someone loitering or attempting to hide their face. By processing this information on-site, the system can trigger deterrents—like lights and voice warnings—in a fraction of a second. This speed is what allows scOS to prevent crimes rather than just recording them. It also means your private video stays within your home for analysis, rather than being sent to a cloud server.

When the AI detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just send you a notification; it takes action. The system can activate high-intensity strobe lights and play an AI-generated voice warning through the camera's speaker. This warning is designed to be firm and authoritative, letting the intruder know they have been identified and that the property is under active protection. In the vast majority of cases, this immediate intervention is enough to cause a would-be burglar to flee. It removes the 'cloak of darkness' they rely on and makes your home a much harder target than the one next door.

Yes, we provide full professional installation across St Albans, including AL1, AL2, AL3, and AL4. Our engineers are local to the Hertfordshire area and are familiar with the unique architectural styles of St Albans, from historic city centre homes to modern developments in areas like Marshalswick or St Stephens. We handle everything from the initial site survey to the final configuration of your AI settings. We ensure that the cameras are positioned to cover every vulnerable entry point while maintaining a discreet appearance that complements your home.

While St Albans is generally a safe area, its proximity to London and high property values can make it attractive to opportunistic and professional thieves. With an average police response time of 15 minutes, a proactive system like scOS is highly beneficial. It provides an immediate first line of defence that doesn't rely on external intervention. By deterring a crime at the perimeter, you eliminate the trauma of a break-in and the subsequent stress of dealing with insurance and repairs. It's about maintaining the sanctuary of your home in an increasingly unpredictable world.

We use high-specification 4K Ultra-HD cameras that are built to last. These cameras feature exceptional low-light performance, ensuring crystal-clear footage even in total darkness. They are also equipped with built-in speakers and strobe lights for the proactive deterrent features. Our cameras are designed to be weatherproof and robust, standing up to the British weather year after year. Most importantly, they are fully integrated with the scOS Intelligence Hub, allowing for the advanced AI processing that sets our system apart from standard high-street brands.

Yes, the scOS app is available for both iOS and Android, allowing you to monitor your St Albans home from anywhere. Whether you're at work in London, shopping at the Maltings, or on holiday abroad, you have a live window into your property. The app allows you to view live streams, playback recorded events, and manage your system settings. You can also receive real-time alerts that are intelligently filtered by our AI, so you aren't bothered by false alarms. It gives you total control and peace of mind in the palm of your hand.

The Intelligence Hub is a dedicated AI processing unit that we install as part of your system. Think of it as a super-powered computer dedicated entirely to your home's security. It's what makes the 'Intelligence' in scOS possible. By having a dedicated hub, we ensure that the AI analysis is fast, reliable, and private. It connects all your cameras together and manages the communication with our secure UK servers. It's a small, quiet device that usually sits near your router, working 24/7 to keep your home safe.

We take data privacy and security very comfortably. All footage is encrypted using industry-standard protocols and stored in secure, Tier-3 data centres located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe that your data belongs to you. We do not have access to your private live feeds, and we never share your data with third parties. Our UK-based support team is always available if you have questions about your data, but the fundamental principle is that your home's security data stays private and protected.

In St Albans, our professional installation service is tailored to your specific property. Our subscription starts from £19 per month, which includes the use of the Intelligence Hub, all AI software features, secure UK-based storage, and full technical support. The initial installation cost for the hardware depends on how many cameras you need and the layout of your home. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote after discussing your requirements, ensuring there are no hidden fees or surprise costs down the line.

The number of cameras depends on the size and layout of your property. For a typical semi-detached home in St Albans, we usually recommend a minimum of two to three cameras to cover the front drive, the side access, and the rear garden. For larger detached homes, four or more cameras may be needed to ensure there are no blind spots. During our consultation, we will perform a thorough assessment of your property and suggest the most effective configuration to provide comprehensive, 360-degree protection for your home and family.
