Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records footage of a crime for you to find later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime before it happens. The core of scOS is MotionX, our advanced AI that ignores false alarms like animals or wind and focuses only on 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When an intruder is detected, scOS takes action—using presence simulation, lighting, and AI voice warnings from external speakers to deter them at the boundary. It’s the difference between recording a break-in and preventing one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If your Alveston home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, upgrading your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI security network. Our professional UK-based installation team will perform a full assessment during the installation process (which takes about 4-6 hours) to ensure your existing hardware is fully integrated and optimised for scOS's advanced features. This allows you to upgrade your security without the cost of a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered proactive approach to deter criminals. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're out. Second, MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the person is trying to hide their face. Third, if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers an Active Intervention: lights flash and authoritative voice warnings are issued from external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to startle and deter criminals at the perimeter, making it clear that the property is protected by an active, intelligent system, which usually results in the intruder leaving immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, meaning all our support, data centres, and operations are right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles data locally for lightning-fast response times, while our secure UK cloud provides the power for advanced analysis and remote access. You have total control over your data and recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. With scOS, you get world-class AI security without compromising your personal privacy.

Video doorbells are reactive and limited; they only show you who is at your front door and often rely on you being available to answer a notification. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property. It detects intruders the moment they step onto your land and uses AI to deter them automatically, without you needing to lift a finger. Furthermore, scOS uses reliable wired connections that can't be defeated by WiFi jammers, unlike most doorbells. For Alveston residents, scOS offers a professional-grade security solution that actually prevents crime rather than just recording it.

Alveston's location near the A38 and M5 interchange makes it a target for 'drive-by' scouting, where criminals look for easy targets near major escape routes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every registration plate that enters your driveway. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify family cars versus strangers and can even flag cloned plates. If an unknown vehicle enters your property, scOS can proactively trigger deterrents or alert you immediately. This is a powerful tool for stopping vehicle-related crime before the thieves have a chance to act or flee back onto the motorway.

While Alveston enjoys a lower-than-average property crime rate (8.49), this can often lead to complacency. Criminals frequently target quieter villages specifically because they expect lower levels of security and more 'soft' targets. Passive CCTV might show you a recording of a theft the next morning, but scOS is designed to prevent the incident from occurring in the first place. By using Presence Simulation and proactive voice deterrents, scOS maintains a high-security profile for your home 24/7, ensuring you don't become a statistic in the Avon and Somerset Constabulary's reports.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Director, did any delivery vans arrive today?' or 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, accurate answers. It’s like having a security guard who has watched every second of your footage and can report back to you instantly. This makes managing your home security in Alveston effortless and incredibly powerful.
