Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' It recognises human movement regardless of whether someone is walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their silhouette. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. Using property boundary detection, it identifies threats the moment they step onto your land and can trigger instant light responses or voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent AI network. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Hub, we can apply our MotionX detection and proactive response protocols to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while significantly upgrading your home's security capabilities.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If an intruder does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly—even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The system then initiates an escalating response: first, automatic lighting to illuminate the threat, followed by authoritative voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS 'talks' to the intruder, making it clear they have been detected by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It doesn't just show you who is there; it stops crime from happening in the first place through proactive intervention. Furthermore, scOS includes advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director, a conversational AI that lets you ask natural questions about activity on your property, providing a level of insight a doorbell simply cannot match.

In a rural village like Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, traditional motion sensors are often plagued by false alarms from foxes, badgers, or swaying trees. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore environmental noise and animals. It focuses only on 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement. This means you won't be woken up at 3 AM by a cat crossing your driveway, but you will be alerted instantly if a person enters your property boundary. This precision is essential for maintaining peace of mind in a quiet Oxfordshire village.

Many residents in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell commute to Oxford, Reading, or London. scOS is perfect for commuters because of our Presence Simulation technology. While you are at work, the system intelligently simulates human activity inside your home—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern—to make it look like someone is home. If anything unusual does happen, you'll receive an intelligent alert on your phone, and you can even use scOS Director to ask, 'Has anyone been to the front door today?' for a quick summary of the day's activity.

Absolutely. scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition. In a village where residents often notice unfamiliar vehicles, our system goes a step further by checking registration plates against the DVLA database. It can flag suspicious vehicles or cloned plates that shouldn't be in the area. This data is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, providing invaluable evidence for Thames Valley Police should an incident occur in the village, helping to keep the whole community safer.
