Standard CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review; scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes in real-time. While traditional systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch on the A303, our proprietary MotionX technology ignores environmental noise entirely. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' recognising human forms and suspicious behaviour without the need for user-defined zones. Because scOS understands the difference between a delivery driver and a loiterer, it can trigger automatic light and voice responses to deter intruders before they even reach your door. You move from being a victim with footage to a homeowner with a system that prevents the crime from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We support most professional-grade wired IP cameras from leading manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility with our Intelligence Hub. By layering our AI over your existing infrastructure, you gain the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without the cost of a full hardware overhaul. This makes upgrading your Amesbury home to a high-intelligence property both cost-effective and efficient.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an approach. First, our Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied even when you are away by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside the house, such as lights turning on and off in a realistic sequence. Second, our MotionX technology identifies potential threats the moment they step onto your property, recognising people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination from external lights followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that intruders feel watched and unwelcome long before they attempt a break-in.

At scOS, we believe your security data should be as private as your home. Unlike many competitors who outsource data processing to international servers, we are 100% UK-based. All your video footage and activity data are stored in secure UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial analysis locally on your property before escalating to our secure cloud for advanced AI tasks. You retain total control over your data, and we never sell your information to third parties. Your privacy is a core component of our protection, ensuring that your security system never becomes a surveillance risk.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole that tells you who is at the door once they have already arrived; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While doorbells are often reactive and easily bypassed by approaching from a side angle, scOS uses AI to monitor your whole perimeter, detecting threats before they reach your entry points. Furthermore, doorbells often rely on jammer-prone Wi-Fi and offer no active deterrents. scOS uses professional wired connections and proactive measures like voice warnings and presence simulation to stop crime before it happens. In a town like Amesbury, where property layouts can be complex, a single doorbell is simply not enough to provide true peace of mind.

Amesbury's proximity to the A303 makes it a target for 'transit crime,' where thieves use the main road for a quick escape. scOS addresses this specifically through our DVLA Vehicle Recognition feature. Our AI automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway or lingering near your property, checking them against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. If an unrecognised or flagged vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and initiate a deterrent response, making your home a much harder target for opportunistic criminals using the motorway network.

We understand that many Amesbury residents serve at Boscombe Down or are frequently away on military deployment. scOS is the perfect companion for long-term absences because of our advanced Presence Simulation. Unlike simple timers, our AI learns your household's actual habits and replicates them, making the house look truly lived-in. You can also use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to check in on your property from anywhere in the world. Simply ask, 'Has anyone been near the garage while I've been away?' and get a natural language summary of all activity, providing peace of mind no matter where you are stationed.

While Amesbury's property crime rate of 15.69 per 1,000 residents is lower than the national average, this often leads to a false sense of security that professional burglars exploit. Low-crime areas are frequently targeted because homes often have fewer visible security measures and higher-value goods. scOS ensures you don't become a statistic by providing a high-tech 'digital fence' that never sleeps. By installing a system that proactively deters intruders rather than just recording them, you maintain the safety of your neighbourhood while ensuring your specific property is the least attractive target on the street.
