scOS is a proactive security solution, whereas traditional CCTV is reactive. Most systems in Bordon simply record footage that you might look at after a break-in has occurred. scOS uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' as it happens, ignoring false triggers like pets or swaying trees. It automatically detects your property boundaries without the need for manual setup. If someone enters your property uninvited, scOS doesn't just watch—it uses external speakers and lights to warn them off, stopping the incident before your home is ever breached.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team can usually complete a setup in 4-6 hours, integrating your existing cameras into our scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current 'dumb' cameras into a smart, AI-driven network. We will perform a full assessment during installation to ensure your hardware is compatible and positioned correctly to take full advantage of our AI monitoring features.

We use a three-pronged approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your daily habits inside the house—turning lights on and off or simulating movement—to make it look like you're home even if you're out in the South Downs. Second, MotionX identifies suspicious people the moment they step onto your land, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third, the system uses active intervention, triggering external IoT speakers to deliver a voice warning and turning on bright lights. This combination is highly effective at making intruders choose an easier target.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is 100% UK-based, meaning your data is stored in secure UK data centres and managed under strict GDPR guidelines. We never sell your personal information or footage to third parties. The system processes intelligence locally on your Hub for immediate response, while the cloud is used for secure remote access and advanced AI tasks. You have full ownership of your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, ensuring you always have access to what matters.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often easily bypassed by criminals approaching from other angles. scOS provides 'Home Intelligence' for your entire property. While a doorbell might tell you a package has been taken, scOS is designed to stop the person from ever getting near your door. By using MotionX to monitor your whole boundary and employing active deterrents like voice warnings, scOS offers a proactive defense that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

Bordon is a growing community with many new-build estates that can be targets for opportunistic crime. scOS is ideal for these homes because it offers professional, wired installation that is far more reliable than the wireless DIY kits often found in new developments. Our system can't be jammed like WiFi cameras, and our AI-driven Presence Simulation is perfect for commuters who are away from their new homes for long periods during the day.

Yes, scOS is excellent at distinguishing between human threats and local wildlife or pets. Our MotionX technology is specifically trained to ignore animals, wind-blown foliage, and spiders on the lens. This means you won't be woken up in the middle of the night by a fox in your garden or a cat crossing the driveway. You only get alerted when there is 'important activity'—specifically, a person behaving in a way that suggests a potential threat to your property.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. You can interact with your system using 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask natural questions like, 'Did any delivery drivers come by today?' or 'Was there anyone in the back garden last night?' It’s like having a digital security guard who knows your property inside out and can give you instant answers about what’s been happening while you were away.
