Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records events for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive guardian. The difference lies in our MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means no more false alarms from spiders or wind-blown trees. scOS also doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, it uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates escalating light responses to deter intruders before they even reach your home. It’s an active, intelligent system that stops crime in its tracks.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with most professional, wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4 to 6 hours, we integrate our Intelligence Hub with your existing cameras. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI system, adding features like person recognition and DVLA vehicle tracking. We always recommend wired systems over wireless ones because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed by the Wi-Fi blocking devices that many modern burglars now use. This allows you to upgrade your Brixworth home's security without needing to replace all your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your home. First is Presence Simulation, where the AI learns your habits and mimics them when you're away, making your home look occupied from the inside. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are trying to hide their identity with a mask or hood. Third is Active Intervention: scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and triggers bright lights to let the intruder know they are being watched. These responses escalate if the intruder persists, providing a powerful deterrent that stops most crimes before they ever begin.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our 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. Your data is never sold to third parties, and you have complete control over your recordings. You can access 24/7 footage from the last two weeks at any time, ensuring your Brixworth home is always under your watchful eye.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door, often after they have already arrived. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell has a limited view, scOS uses AI to detect and deter intruders before they even get close to your house. It also offers advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation that a doorbell simply cannot provide. For a home in Brixworth, scOS offers comprehensive, proactive security that stops crime, rather than just filming it.

Brixworth’s proximity to Pitsford Reservoir means there is a lot of visitor traffic, which can sometimes mask suspicious activity. scOS is designed to handle this with MotionX technology, which can distinguish between normal visitor behaviour and suspicious activity. Our AI learns the typical patterns of your neighbourhood and alerts you only when something is out of the ordinary. This ensures that while you enjoy the benefits of living near the reservoir, your home remains a secure sanctuary, protected by a system that knows exactly what to look for.

The A508 provides easy access to Brixworth, which can unfortunately make it a target for opportunistic criminals. scOS counters this with integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI scans the registration plates of every vehicle that enters your property and checks them against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, you are alerted immediately. This allows you to identify potential 'scouting' activity—where criminals check out a property before a planned break-in—giving you and Northamptonshire Police a vital advantage in preventing crime.

Yes, scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use, even if you aren't tech-savvy. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Was there anyone on the driveway this afternoon?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' The AI will understand your question and provide a clear, concise answer. This makes managing your home security in Brixworth as simple as having a conversation, giving you instant peace of mind without any technical frustration.
