Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage for you to watch after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that actively works to prevent crime at your Bardney home. The core of our system is MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means scOS ignores distractions like wind-blown trees, local wildlife, or the movement of the River Witham, and instead identifies human behaviour. It doesn't require manual 'zones'; the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with escalating responses like voice warnings and lighting to stop intruders before they reach your home.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. We can take your existing wired IP cameras—from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—and upgrade them with our advanced AI. During our professional installation in Bardney, which typically takes 4-6 hours, we integrate your current hardware with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your passive cameras into an active security network, giving you access to features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director without the need for a full system replacement. It’s a smart way to get professional-grade security using your existing infrastructure.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy to keep your Bardney home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your daily routines, making it look like someone is home even when you're out. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers Active Intervention. This involves external IoT speakers delivering clear voice warnings and security lights illuminating the area. This immediate, escalating response is designed to deter criminals at the boundary, long before they can attempt a break-in.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles most of the work locally on your property for maximum privacy and speed, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced features and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data belongs solely to you. You can access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere, knowing your Bardney home's data is protected by the highest UK security standards.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only triggers when someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire Bardney property. It detects threats at the edge of your boundary, giving the system time to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door. With professional-grade features like DVLA vehicle recognition to track suspicious cars and AI that can distinguish between family and strangers, scOS offers a level of protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Bardney’s rural location and proximity to the River Witham can make it a target for the theft of agricultural equipment or tools. scOS is ideal for protecting outbuildings and workshops. Our AI automatically detects boundaries across your entire plot, and MotionX is specifically tuned to recognise people even if they are carrying large items or wearing workwear. This ensures your valuable equipment is protected by the same proactive AI that guards your main residence.

Lincolnshire Police cover a large rural area, and response times can be affected by distance. scOS acts as your home's personal security guard, providing immediate intervention that can stop a crime in its tracks. By deterring intruders at the boundary, scOS often prevents the need for police involvement. If an incident does occur, our system provides high-definition, 24/7 recorded evidence that is invaluable for Lincolnshire Police investigations, including clear person recognition and vehicle data.

Bardney is a close-knit village, and scOS is designed to respect that. Our AI is trained to recognise the difference between a stranger and someone who belongs on your property based on their behaviour and patterns. You can also use scOS Director to ask natural questions like 'Did the neighbour drop off a parcel?' or 'Is the gardener here?', making it a helpful tool for village life rather than just a security system.
