Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device that requires you to review footage after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime in progress. The difference lies in our MotionX technology, which uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' rather than just simple motion. This means no more false alarms from pets or wind. scOS also features automatic boundary detection, so you don't have to set up complex zones. When someone enters your property, the system doesn't just watch; it responds with escalating deterrents like lights and voice warnings, providing a level of active protection that standard CCTV simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our Intelligence Hub can take the feed from your existing cameras and apply our advanced AI layers to them, effectively turning your 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive security network. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. This allows you to benefit from scOS's cutting-edge features like MotionX and presence simulation without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your system is wired for maximum reliability.

scOS employs a three-tiered strategy to deter criminals. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual activity patterns when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or trying to hide their shape. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers external lights and delivers clear voice warnings via IoT speakers. These warnings let the intruder know they've been spotted and are being monitored, which is a powerful psychological deterrent that usually causes them to leave immediately.

Your data security and privacy are paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI analysis locally on your property. Only when a significant event or threat is detected is the data sent to our secure cloud for your access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be viewed securely from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door and often alerts you too late. scOS is a proactive, whole-property security system. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the entrance, and is designed to stop intruders before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might show you someone stealing a parcel, scOS uses presence simulation and active voice deterrents to prevent the criminal from entering your property in the first place. It offers a much higher level of security, ensuring your entire home is protected 24/7 with professional-grade AI.

Bletchingdon’s proximity to the A34 makes it a convenient target for vehicle thieves who look for quick escape routes. scOS counters this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI doesn't just see a car; it reads the number plate and checks it against the DVLA database to flag suspicious or cloned plates. If an unknown vehicle is loitering near your property, scOS can alert you immediately. This allows you to be proactive, potentially preventing a theft before it happens, which is far more effective than just having footage of a car driving away.

Rural villages like Bletchingdon often face the challenge of slower police response times compared to urban areas. This makes proactive deterrence even more critical. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence, using escalating responses to drive intruders away before they can do any damage. By the time an intruder hears the AI voice warning and sees the lights flash, they know the 'easy' target they were looking for is actually a highly protected one. This immediate, local intervention is the most effective way to protect your home when help might be several minutes away.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as having a conversation. You can ask it natural questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the gardener arrive today?' It can even give you specific details about people or vehicles it has seen. For Bletchingdon residents, this means you can stay on top of your home's security without having to spend time reviewing hours of video. It’s a smart, intuitive way to interact with your system and get the information you need instantly.
