Standard CCTV is a passive 'digital witness'—it records your property being burgled so you can watch the video later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime before it happens. The key is our MotionX technology. Unlike traditional systems that trigger for every cat or swaying branch, MotionX ignores the noise and only alerts on 'important activity'—specifically human movement. It automatically detects your property boundaries without you needing to draw zones. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with escalating lights and voice warnings to drive the intruder away immediately. It’s the difference between recording a crime and preventing one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional, wired IP cameras. If your Bricket Wood home already has cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can transform them into an intelligent, proactive network. During our professional UK installation (4-6 hours), our engineers will assess your setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system cannot be jammed, providing a reliable, professional-grade security upgrade that uses your existing infrastructure where possible.

scOS uses a three-tier 'Escalating Response' to stop criminals. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoodies. Third, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and instant lighting. This sequence is designed to startle intruders and convince them they've been spotted by a resident, forcing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all data is stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced AI tasks or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting intruders the moment they step onto your land. While a doorbell is easily ignored, scOS uses proactive measures like presence simulation and voice deterrents to stop crimes before they reach your door. For a high-value home in the Bricket Wood commuter belt, scOS offers professional-grade protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Bricket Wood’s unique position at the junction of the M1 and M25 makes it highly accessible for commuters, but also for organised car theft rings. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration of any vehicle entering your drive against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious history is detected, scOS can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for protecting high-value vehicles in an area where quick motorway access is a key factor for criminals.

Absolutely. Many Bricket Wood residents commute into London or Watford, leaving their homes empty during the day. scOS features 'Presence Simulation,' which learns your home's internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Combined with 'scOS Director,' which allows you to ask for a natural language summary of the day's activity via our app, you can have total peace of mind while you're at the office.

Hertfordshire Constabulary is proactive, but village response times can vary. scOS acts as your immediate first line of defence. By using active deterrents like voice warnings and lights to scare off intruders the moment they are detected, scOS often stops a crime before it requires a police call-out. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, AI-filtered evidence, including vehicle registrations and clear human activity logs, which are far more useful for prosecution than standard CCTV footage.
