Traditional CCTV is a passive tool; it records footage for you to review after a crime has already occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to stop crime in its tracks. MotionX is a revolutionary detection engine that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. It ignores spiders, wind, and animals, focusing purely on human behaviour. When scOS detects a person on your property, it doesn't just record; it intervenes. By automatically triggering lights and delivering voice warnings through external IoT speakers, it alerts the intruder that they are being monitored by an AI system, usually causing them to leave immediately.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and is compatible with most professional wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. This means we can often use your existing Brent Knoll security hardware and simply upgrade the 'brain' of the system. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will integrate your cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub adds our advanced AI, such as MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, to your current setup. We will assess your existing cameras during installation to ensure they provide the necessary image quality for our AI to function effectively.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the house look occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats the moment they enter your property, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. The third layer is Active Intervention, where the system automatically turns on external lights and delivers escalating voice warnings through IoT speakers. This combination makes your home an incredibly difficult target, as intruders feel exposed and watched from the moment they arrive.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all our data centres, support, and engineering located in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your personal data. Our system uses a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and are accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door and is prone to false alarms. scOS is a professional-grade intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. Unlike doorbells, which are often wireless and can be easily jammed, scOS uses secure wired connections. Our MotionX AI eliminates false alarms by focusing only on real human threats, and our system actively intervenes to stop crime before it happens. For a home in Brent Knoll, scOS offers a level of comprehensive, proactive protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Brent Knoll’s proximity to the M5 makes it a convenient location for residents, but it also provides a quick escape route for criminals targeting homes in the Somerset Levels. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration plates of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity. The system can identify cloned plates or vehicles that don't belong in your normal pattern of life, alerting you to suspicious activity before a crime is even attempted. This is particularly effective for homes near major transport links where 'in-and-out' thefts are a concern.

For homes in Brent Knoll, traditional security can be tricky due to the open nature of some properties. scOS uses Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which intelligently learns exactly where your private land ends and the public space begins. You don't need to draw complex 'zones'; the AI understands the difference between someone walking on the pavement and someone stepping onto your private driveway or garden. This ensures you get pinpoint accurate protection for your home without being bombarded by false alerts from passing traffic or pedestrians.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to talk to your security system. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was out today?' or 'Did the delivery driver come to the door?' The AI will scan your footage and provide a clear, written summary. For Brent Knoll residents, this provides an effortless way to stay informed about your home's security without having to watch hours of video. It’s like having a personal security assistant who is always on duty, keeping an eye on your property so you don't have to.
