Traditional CCTV is a passive observer, merely recording events as they unfold, which often leaves homeowners with nothing but footage of a crime that has already happened. scOS is fundamentally different because it is proactive. At its core is MotionX, our revolutionary activity detection technology that ignores the 'noise' of village life—like swaying trees or foxes—and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It doesn't require you to draw complex motion masks; it works out of the box to recognise people, even if they are trying to hide their identity. When scOS detects a threat at your Aspley Guise home, it doesn't just watch; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder in their tracks, providing a level of security that standard systems simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works seamlessly with most existing wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which takes about 4 to 6 hours, our UK-based engineers will integrate your current cameras into our Intelligence Hub. This effectively 'upgrades' your existing hardware, giving it the power of scOS's AI, including MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. This means you don't have to start from scratch to get world-class security. If your current setup is 'dumb,' scOS will make it smart, transforming your existing cameras into a proactive defence system that protects your Aspley Guise property more effectively than ever before.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrence strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage. It begins with Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your internal lighting and activity patterns, making your home look occupied even when you're commuting or away on holiday. If a criminal does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly, regardless of how they are moving or if they are wearing a mask. The system then initiates an escalating response: first, instant illumination to let them know they're seen, followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination of making the home look lived-in and providing an immediate, intelligent response to trespassing is incredibly effective at forcing intruders to abandon their plans.

We take data privacy extremely seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your home's intelligence is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub to ensure the fastest possible response times, with critical data then stored in our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Unlike many other security companies, we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and accessible via our app for up to two weeks. We also avoid invasive facial recognition, opting instead for behaviour-based person recognition to protect the privacy of your family and neighbours while still providing elite-level security for your Aspley Guise residence.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it's great for seeing who's at the door, but it offers very little in the way of actual crime prevention. scOS is a full-property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary, not just the front step. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from ever reaching the package. By using proactive AI that detects threats at the edge of your property and intervenes with lights and voice deterrents, scOS provides a comprehensive shield that a doorbell simply cannot provide. For a high-value area like Aspley Guise, you need a system that protects your vehicles, side-access, and gardens, not just your letterbox.

Aspley Guise's proximity to the M1 makes it a known target for sophisticated vehicle thieves who look for high-value cars with easy motorway access. scOS is specifically equipped to combat this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition technology. The system can check the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway against the DVLA database, instantly flagging cloned plates or unauthorised vehicles. If an unrecognised person approaches your car at night, scOS doesn't just alert you; it can trigger an immediate light and voice response to scare them off before they can even touch the door handle. This proactive approach is essential for protecting the premium vehicles often found in the village.

Many Aspley Guise residents commute to London or Milton Keynes, leaving their homes empty for long periods. scOS is the perfect companion for the modern commuter. Our Presence Simulation feature is far more advanced than simple timers; it learns your actual habits and replicates them, so your home looks truly lived-in. Furthermore, our scOS Director conversational AI allows you to check in on your home by asking natural questions like, 'Has anyone been on the driveway today?' or 'Is everything secure?' This gives you the confidence of a virtual security guard watching over your property while you're at the office or on the train, ensuring you never have to worry about what's happening back at home.

Absolutely. We understand that Bedfordshire Police, like many forces, must prioritise their resources. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence, reducing the need for police intervention by deterring criminals autonomously. However, if an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, 24/7 recorded footage that is stored for 14 days. Because our system uses wired connections, the footage is reliable and high-resolution, making it invaluable for police investigations. Our AI also flags 'important activity,' so you don't have to sift through hours of video to find the relevant clip; scOS Director can find it for you in seconds, providing clear evidence to the authorities if needed.
