Traditional CCTV is reactive—it only provides evidence after a crime has been committed. In a village like Broughton, where property crime is a real concern, you need a system that prevents the incident. scOS uses MotionX AI to detect 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property. Unlike standard systems that rely on motion masks (which often fail), scOS understands the difference between a person and a stray animal or wind-blown branch. When a threat is identified, scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder immediately.

Yes, scOS is designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. If you already have a system installed at your Broughton property, we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub, giving your 'dumb' cameras an AI brain. Our professional UK installers will perform a full assessment during the 4-6 hour setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your security cannot be compromised by signal jammers, which are increasingly used by organised burglars.

scOS uses a multi-layered 'Shield' strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns—essential for those quiet Broughton evenings. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders regardless of their movement or if they are wearing masks. Third, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant lighting. This proactive response removes the 'darkness and silence' that criminals rely on, forcing them to leave before they ever attempt to enter your home.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all data stored in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate AI tasks locally on your property, while our secure UK cloud manages remote access and long-term storage. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a 'point' solution that only monitors your front door. It’s often too late by the time a doorbell alerts you. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary including side entrances and gardens. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from even approaching your porch. It offers a comprehensive, AI-driven security ecosystem that protects your entire home, not just the entryway.

Broughton is home to many beautiful period properties. We understand the importance of maintaining your home's aesthetic. Our professional installers are experienced in discreetly fitting scOS components, ensuring that cables are hidden and hardware is placed as unobtrusively as possible. Because scOS can often use your existing wired cameras, we can provide a massive intelligence upgrade without the need for unsightly new installations or excessive drilling, preserving the character of your Test Valley home.

Yes. scOS features DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition. The system doesn't just see a car; it identifies the registration and can check it against the DVLA database. This allows it to flag suspicious vehicles, such as those with cloned plates or those that have been seen 'scouting' the village. For Broughton residents, this provides an extra layer of intelligence, alerting you to potential threats before they even step out of their vehicle.

scOS Director is our conversational AI interface. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can simply ask your system questions like, 'Director, was there any unusual activity near the garage last night?' or 'Did the gardener arrive today?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, natural-language answers. It makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation, giving you instant clarity on what’s happening at home.
