Most CCTV systems in Ashby are passive, meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a break-in has occurred. scOS is fundamentally different because it is proactive. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, the system distinguishes between "important activity" (like a person approaching your door) and irrelevant motion (like a cat or a swaying branch), ensuring zero false alarms. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder in their tracks. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with the majority of wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a camera setup at your Ashby-de-la-Zouch home, we can often transform those "dumb" cameras into an intelligent scOS system. Our professional UK installers will perform a full assessment during the 4-6 hour installation process. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, you gain all the benefits of AI monitoring, proactive deterrence, and scOS Director without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence that begins before a criminal even reaches your property. Our Presence Simulation feature makes your home look occupied by simulating realistic internal lighting patterns, which is the best way to discourage burglars from choosing your home as a target. If someone does approach, our MotionX AI identifies them instantly—even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The system then triggers an escalating response, using external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and bright lights to illuminate the intruder, making it clear that their presence has been detected and recorded.

We take your privacy and data security very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other systems that process everything in the cloud, our Intelligence Hub handles much of the AI processing locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere via our app.

A video doorbell only monitors a tiny fraction of your property and is often easily bypassed by approaching from a different angle. In Ashby, where homes often have large gardens or multiple entry points, whole-property protection is vital. scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your property rather than just at the front door. Furthermore, while a doorbell just sends a notification to your phone, scOS actively intervenes to stop crime. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and conversational AI, scOS offers a level of intelligence and protection that a doorbell simply cannot match.

Ashby’s location near the M42 makes it a target for vehicle theft. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the registration plates of any car entering your driveway. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. You can even ask scOS Director, "Which cars have been on my drive today?" to get an instant report. This provides an essential layer of protection for your family vehicles and helps deter car thieves before they even step out of their vehicle.

Yes, scOS is ideal for properties bordering the National Forest or other wooded areas. Traditional motion sensors often struggle with moving branches and wildlife, leading to constant false alarms. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore these "unimportant" movements. It focuses on human behaviour and property boundaries, ensuring that you only get alerted when a person is actually on your land. This makes it the perfect choice for Ashby residents who want high-level security without the frustration of false notifications.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of spending hours reviewing footage, you can simply ask, "Was there anyone at the back door while I was at work?" or "Did the gardener come today?" The Director will provide a clear, concise answer based on the system's observations. It makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation, giving you peace of mind without any technical hassle.
