Most CCTV systems are 'dumb'—they record everything but understand nothing, leading to hours of useless footage and constant false alarms. scOS is 'intelligent.' Our MotionX technology focuses only on 'important activity,' ignoring pets, wind, and shadows. When a person is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. It uses property boundary detection to know when someone has stepped onto your land and triggers an escalating response of lights and voice warnings. It’s a proactive system designed to prevent crime, not just record it for the Thames Valley Police after the fact.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and brand-agnostic. We can typically integrate with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, which takes about 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current cameras and connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This Hub adds the AI 'brain' to your existing hardware, enabling features like person recognition, DVLA vehicle checks, and proactive deterrents without requiring you to replace your entire existing setup.

scOS uses a powerful three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. Second, MotionX identifies potential threats with incredible accuracy, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Third, if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers an Active Intervention. This includes instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination of looking occupied and providing an immediate, automated response to trespassing is highly effective at making criminals move on to an easier target.

Your data security is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many other systems, we use a hybrid approach: our Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate response, and only escalates to the cloud when necessary. We never sell your data. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for 14 days, ensuring your privacy is protected while giving you the security you need.

A video doorbell is a reactive device with a very narrow field of view. It tells you someone is at your door, but it doesn't protect your side gates, your garden, or your vehicles. scOS provides 360-degree property intelligence. It detects intruders the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS stops crime before it happens, whereas a doorbell often just provides a video of the crime taking place.

Bourne End is an affluent area, and high-value vehicle theft is a primary concern for residents. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. It can check registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or unauthorised vehicles. If an unknown person approaches your vehicle at night, MotionX detects the 'important activity' and can trigger an immediate light and voice response, deterring the thief before they can even touch your car.

Properties backing onto the Thames have unique security challenges, as intruders can approach from the water. scOS's automatic boundary detection is perfect for this. It can be configured to monitor your river frontage just as effectively as your street entrance. MotionX is smart enough to ignore the movement of the river or passing boats, but it will trigger an alert and deterrent response the moment someone steps from the bank onto your property, providing comprehensive protection for riverside living.

Many Bourne End residents enjoy the village's excellent transport links for travel. When you're away, scOS's Presence Simulation is your best defence. It doesn't just use simple timers; it uses AI to learn and replicate your home's natural activity patterns, making it look truly lived-in. You can also use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions about your home from anywhere in the world, such as 'Has the gardener been?' or 'Was there any activity last night?', giving you total peace of mind while travelling.
