Traditional CCTV in Blakedown is often a passive system that simply records footage, which is usually only helpful after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive 'Home Intelligence' system that uses AI to stop crime before it happens. Our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—like a person or vehicle—while ignoring false alarms from animals, wind, or shadows. Unlike older systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up 'zones'; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, the system intervenes with automatic light responses and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This active response lets intruders know they've been spotted, often causing them to flee before they can do any harm.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a wired camera system at your Blakedown home, we can likely integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing cameras into a smart, AI-powered security network. Our professional UK-based installation team will handle the setup, which typically takes 4-6 hours. We use wired connections because they are far more reliable and secure than wireless ones, as they cannot be jammed by criminals, ensuring your home is protected around the clock.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deter criminals effectively. First is Presence Simulation: our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making your house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which accurately identifies people even if they are trying to hide their face or move stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if someone crosses your property boundary, the system triggers instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This escalating response shows the intruder that the property is being actively monitored by an intelligent system, which is a powerful deterrent that usually stops a crime in its tracks.

Your privacy is paramount to us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all our data centres, support, and development located within the UK. We use a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' processing model, where the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy. Only when necessary is data escalated to our secure UK cloud. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often a reactive tool that tells you a crime has already happened. In a commuter village like Blakedown, where properties often have driveways and multiple entry points, you need more comprehensive protection. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire perimeter and detecting threats the moment they enter your land. While doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or bypassed, scOS uses professional wired cameras and real-time AI to stop crime before it happens. It’s a complete security solution for your entire home and driveway.

Blakedown is a safe and desirable place to live, but its excellent transport links to Birmingham and Kidderminster can unfortunately make it a target for vehicle theft and opportunistic crime. scOS helps you stay proactive by providing an intelligent, 24/7 watch over your property. Our AI is always learning what is 'normal' for your home and will only alert you when something is truly suspicious. By having a proactive system that deters intruders before they can act, you significantly reduce the risk of becoming a victim, ensuring your home remains the safe haven it should be.

Yes, scOS is particularly effective at protecting vehicles on your driveway. Our system includes DVLA vehicle recognition, which can identify and log the registration plates of cars approaching your property. If a vehicle with a cloned plate or one that has been flagged as suspicious enters your area, the system can alert you immediately. Combined with our proactive voice deterrents and lighting, scOS makes your driveway a very difficult place for car thieves to operate, providing peace of mind for owners of high-value vehicles in Blakedown.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask it questions like, 'Was there anyone near the cars last night?' or 'Did the window cleaner come today?' The AI understands the context of your property and can provide instant answers based on its 24/7 monitoring. This makes managing your home security simple and intuitive, giving you peace of mind without having to spend time reviewing hours of video footage. It’s like having a personal security assistant for your home.
