Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later, which rarely leads to a conviction. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to understand what it is seeing in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for every swaying branch or passing fox in the Oxfordshire countryside, MotionX ignores 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity, such as a person approaching your property. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lighting and voice deterrents. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard who never sleeps, ensuring that Broughton residents aren't just filming crime, but preventing it entirely.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent security network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub, which provides the local processing power needed for MotionX and our proactive deterrent features. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI protection without the cost of replacing all your existing hardware, making it a sustainable and cost-effective choice for Broughton homeowners.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away, the system learns your home's natural activity patterns and simulates them by controlling internal lighting, making it appear someone is home. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person even if they are attempting to hide their face or change their silhouette. Finally, if an intruder crosses your property boundary, the system initiates an escalating response. This includes instant illumination from smart lighting and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By making your home appear occupied and alert, scOS removes the 'opportunity' that most criminals look for, forcing them to move on before they even attempt a break-in.

Privacy is at the core of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who send your footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. This hybrid approach—combining local processing for speed and cloud storage for accessibility—ensures that your home's intelligence is both lightning-fast and completely private, keeping your Broughton property's data exactly where it belongs: with you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. For a village like Broughton, you need protection that covers more than just the front step. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS detects a prowler the moment they step onto your driveway or enter your garden. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed; scOS uses professional wired connections for 100% reliability. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS is a comprehensive security solution that stops crime at the boundary, rather than just filming it at the door.

Broughton is home to the magnificent Broughton Castle, which attracts many visitors to the village. This can sometimes lead to tourists accidentally wandering near private property. scOS is designed to handle this with nuance. Our MotionX AI can distinguish between someone who is clearly lost or admiring the scenery and someone who is exhibiting 'scouting' behaviour. If someone lingers near your boundary, the system can provide a polite but firm voice warning or light response, making it clear that your property is intelligently protected without being overly aggressive to well-meaning visitors.

Broughton's proximity to Banbury means it can sometimes experience 'overspill' crime from the larger town. scOS is particularly effective here because it is proactive. By using Presence Simulation to make your home look occupied and escalating deterrents to scare off intruders at the boundary, scOS provides a level of protection that matches the specific risks of being near a major urban centre. It’s about being one step ahead of the criminals who might travel out from Banbury looking for easier targets in the surrounding villages.

Broughton has many beautiful historic and listed buildings. We understand that security shouldn't come at the cost of your home's character. Our professional installers are experts at discreetly fitting wired systems in heritage properties. We use ultra-slim cabling and can often colour-match hardware to your property's exterior. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can help you select the most unobtrusive cameras available, ensuring your home remains an Oxfordshire gem while benefiting from 21st-century AI protection.
