scOS is a revolutionary leap forward from traditional CCTV. While standard cameras simply record video onto a hard drive or cloud, scOS uses an 'Intelligence Hub' equipped with advanced AI. This system doesn't just see pixels; it understands context. It can distinguish between a delivery driver, a neighbour, and someone exhibiting 'pre-criminal' behaviour like loitering or testing door handles. When a threat is identified, the system proactively intervenes by activating lights or using an AI-generated voice to warn the intruder. This shifts the focus from 'recording a crime' to 'preventing a crime' before it ever happens at your Watford property.

When motion is detected, the scOS Intelligence Hub immediately begins processing the video feed locally. Within milliseconds, the AI determines the nature of the movement. If it's a known person or a harmless animal, it stays silent. If it detects a genuine threat, it triggers a multi-stage response. First, it can activate localized lighting to illuminate the intruder. Second, it can broadcast a verbal warning. Finally, it sends a high-priority alert to your smartphone with a video clip of the incident. This entire process happens faster than a human could react, providing a proactive shield for your home.

Yes, we have a dedicated team of professional installers covering all of Watford and the surrounding Hertfordshire area. Because our system is more advanced than 'off-the-shelf' DIY cameras, we ensure every Intelligence Hub and camera is positioned for maximum AI effectiveness. Our local engineers understand Watford's housing stock, from the Victorian terraces near the town centre to the larger detached homes in areas like Nascot Wood, ensuring your system is perfectly tailored to your property's specific layout and entry points.

Watford experiences crime rates similar to the UK average, with vehicle theft and burglary being consistent concerns for residents. A proactive system like scOS is particularly effective here because it targets the 'opportunity' phase of a crime. By deterring intruders at the perimeter, you reduce the likelihood of a break-in. For vehicle owners, our DVLA-integrated checks are invaluable, as they can spot suspicious vehicles that might be scouting the neighbourhood, providing an extra layer of security that traditional cameras simply cannot offer.

We install high-specification, 4K-ready cameras that are specifically designed to work in tandem with the scOS Intelligence Hub. These cameras feature superior low-light performance and wide dynamic range, ensuring clear images even in the dark or against bright backlights. Unlike generic cameras, ours are built to withstand the British weather and provide the high-quality data our AI needs to make accurate decisions. They are sleek, unobtrusive, and designed to complement the aesthetic of your Watford home.

Absolutely. The scOS app provides a secure, real-time window into your home's security from anywhere in the world. Whether you're commuting into London or on holiday abroad, you can view live feeds, review 'prevention events', and even manually trigger deterrents if needed. The app also manages your vehicle alerts and MOT reminders. Because we prioritize privacy, the connection between your phone and the Intelligence Hub is fully encrypted, ensuring you are the only one who can see your footage.

The Intelligence Hub is the 'brain' of the scOS system. Unlike traditional DVRs that just store footage, the Hub contains the powerful processors required for our AI to function. It handles all the video analysis locally, which means your data doesn't have to be sent to the cloud for processing—this makes it faster and much more secure. It also acts as the central storage point for your recordings, keeping everything safely inside your home rather than on a server in another country.

Data privacy is at the core of scOS. All your video footage is stored locally on your Intelligence Hub and, if you choose, backed up to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant and use bank-level encryption. Unlike many famous camera brands, we never sell your data, and our staff cannot access your private feeds. You have total control over your recordings, including the ability to set 'privacy masks' to ensure you aren't recording public spaces or your neighbour's property.

In Watford, our professional installation starts with a transparent assessment of your property. The cost involves a one-time installation fee for the hardware and a monthly subscription starting from £19. This subscription covers the ongoing AI processing, software updates, UK-based technical support, and secure data storage. We don't believe in hidden fees; we provide a clear quote upfront based on the number of cameras and the complexity of the setup required to protect your specific home.

A standard installation in a typical semi-detached or detached Watford home usually takes between 4 to 6 hours. Our engineers are efficient and respectful of your home, ensuring all wiring is neat and the system is fully calibrated before they leave. They will also take the time to walk you through the app, showing you how to manage alerts and customize your deterrent settings, so you feel completely confident in your new security system from day one.
