No obligation
Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.
No hidden fees. No premium tiers. All features included from day one.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Braughing
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happened but doesn't stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring irrelevant motion like wind or pets. It doesn't require you to set up complex motion masks because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. While standard systems leave you with footage to show the Hertfordshire Constabulary after a break-in, scOS intervenes the moment a threat is detected to prevent the crime from occurring.
Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our UK-based installation team can usually transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence AI network in just 4 to 6 hours. We install an Intelligence Hub that processes your camera feeds locally, adding our advanced MotionX detection and proactive deterrent features to your current setup without needing to replace your hardware.
We use a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders even if they are disguised. Third, if someone enters your property, the system triggers an escalating response: automatic lighting followed by clear, AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This ensures any intruder knows they have been detected and that the property is actively defended.
Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Initial processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical events are escalated to the cloud. You retain full ownership and control of your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your personal information or footage to third parties, ensuring your home life remains private.
A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property. It detects threats at your boundary, long before they reach your door. For the historic homes and larger plots in Braughing, this 'perimeter-first' approach is far more effective at preventing crime than a simple doorbell camera that only sees a small fraction of your home.
Braughing’s location near the A10 makes it a potential target for high-value vehicle theft. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify vehicles with cloned plates or those that have been flagged as suspicious. You can ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on the driveway today?' to get an instant report. This provides an extra layer of protection for your vehicles and gives you peace of mind about who is visiting your property.
Braughing has a higher crime rate than some neighbouring villages, making proactive security essential. scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. By using escalating voice warnings and automatic lighting, the system makes it clear to any intruder that they have been spotted. This is often enough to make them abandon their attempt and move on, keeping your home and family safe from the property crime often seen in the area.
Yes, scOS features Covered Face Detection. This is specifically designed to flag suspicious activity, such as someone wearing a hood, balaclava, or mask on your property. The system will immediately alert you to this anomaly, allowing you to take action or for the system to initiate its escalating deterrent response. This is a crucial feature for identifying and stopping potential intruders before they can cause any harm.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
