Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's defence. While traditional systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their figure, resulting in zero false alarms. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By using property boundary detection, it knows exactly where your land starts and can trigger automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop an intruder before they even reach your door. It transforms your security from a simple recording device into a proactive digital guard that never sleeps.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them seamlessly. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform 'dumb' cameras that merely record into intelligent sensors capable of proactive protection. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS ecosystem, you gain access to MotionX detection, scOS Director conversational AI, and our escalating response protocols without needing to replace every piece of hardware on your property. This makes upgrading to world-class AI security both cost-effective and efficient.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which is our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural sequence to make the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection. Unlike basic sensors, it spots suspicious behaviour and recognises people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification on your phone; the system automatically triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and illuminates the area with instant light responses. These escalating responses are designed to convince a criminal that they have been spotted by a human guard, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. We are a 100% UK-based company, which means all our support staff, developers, and data centres are located right here in the UK. Your data is fully GDPR compliant and remains your property at all times. Unlike many competitors who send all footage to the cloud, scOS uses a hybrid model. Our Intelligence Hub processes the majority of the AI logic locally on your premises for speed and privacy. Only when an escalation is required is data securely transmitted to our UK cloud for further processing or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over who can view your footage. Your home's intelligence stays between you and your system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed the button or stolen a parcel. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. More importantly, scOS is built to stop crime before it happens. A doorbell might record a burglar, but scOS will detect them the moment they step onto your land, simulate your presence inside, and issue a voice warning via external speakers to drive them away. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections rather than easily-jammed WiFi, ensuring that your security remains online even when targeted by sophisticated criminals using signal blockers.

Baschurch is a bustling village, especially around The Corbet School during drop-off and pick-up times. Traditional security systems would be overwhelmed by the constant movement of cars and parents. scOS's MotionX technology is designed to ignore this 'normal' village chaos. It focuses only on activity that crosses your specific property boundary. Furthermore, our Person Recognition AI can distinguish between regular visitors (like family or the postman) and strangers. This means you won't get a notification every time a parent walks their child past your gate, but you will be alerted instantly if someone lingers outside your garage or enters your back garden.

Many Baschurch residents enjoy the privacy of the Shropshire countryside, often with large, detached properties. scOS is ideal for these homes because it provides 'Proactive Protection' across the entire perimeter. Our AI auto-detects your property lines, so if someone tries to enter through a hedge or a side gate, the system reacts immediately. It can trigger garden lights and a voice deterrent from an external IoT speaker, making it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted. This is far more effective than a standard alarm that only triggers once someone is already inside your home.

West Mercia Police are active in Shropshire with initiatives like 'We Don't Buy Crime,' and scOS is the perfect technological partner for this. Our system provides high-definition, 24/7 recording that is stored for up to two weeks. More importantly, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition and Person Recognition provide the kind of high-quality evidence that police need to make an arrest. If a suspicious vehicle is seen in Baschurch, you can ask the scOS Director, 'Show me all silver vans from today,' and get an instant report. This turns your home from a potential target into a source of intelligence for the whole community.
