Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive AI system that intervenes the moment a threat is detected. Our MotionX technology is a game-changer, focusing only on 'important activity' and ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. When an intruder is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers and lighting to deliver an escalating response, deterring the criminal before they even reach your home. It’s active protection versus passive recording.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can often integrate with your existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current hardware and connect it to our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing cameras into an intelligent AI network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and human behaviour detection. This allows residents in Balderton to upgrade to elite-level security without the cost of a completely new camera setup.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look occupied. Second, MotionX detection identifies suspicious people regardless of their movement or if they are wearing masks. Third, Active Intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, external IoT speakers deliver a voice warning and smart lights activate. This immediate, escalating response is designed to make intruders feel exposed and flee, stopping the crime before it starts.

Privacy is central to scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, only using our secure cloud for remote access and critical event escalation. You have total control over your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, and you can interact with your system using our conversational scOS Director AI with complete confidence.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While doorbells are often wireless and can be jammed, scOS uses a professional wired-over-wireless architecture for maximum reliability. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses AI to detect and deter intruders with voice warnings before they ever reach your door, providing far superior protection for your home.

Balderton's proximity to the A1 makes it accessible for 'transient crime,' where thieves travel along major routes to target residential areas. scOS is specifically designed to counter this. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition identifies unrecognised or suspicious vehicles the moment they pull up, while our proactive voice deterrents provide the immediate response needed to stop a theft before it starts. By making your home a 'hard target' with visible AI intervention, you discourage professional thieves who are looking for an easy, quick getaway.

While Balderton's crime rate is lower than the national average, this can often lead to a false sense of security. Many thefts in residential towns are opportunistic, targeting homes that appear to have no active protection. scOS ensures you don't become an easy target. By using Presence Simulation and proactive voice deterrents, you maintain a visible and audible security presence that discourages criminals from even considering your property. It’s about maintaining that peace of mind and ensuring your home remains a safe haven.

Vehicle theft is a concern for many in the Newark area. scOS doesn't just record your driveway; it actively monitors it. Our AI can recognise your family's vehicles and alert you to any unknown cars or those with 'cloned' plates via our DVLA database check. If someone approaches your car at night, the system's MotionX technology will trigger instant lighting and a voice warning, stopping keyless entry thefts or catalytic converter stripping before the criminals can even touch your vehicle.
