Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records events as they happen. In a busy village like Burford, you need a system that actually prevents crime. scOS is a proactive AI system. It uses MotionX technology to focus on 'important activity,' ignoring false alarms from wind or animals. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't require you to draw motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When an intruder is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers and automatic lights to intervene, deterring the criminal before they can break in. It's like having a 24/7 security guard for your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, and Axis. If you already have a camera system at your Burford home, our professional UK installers can often integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This upgrades your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence AI network. During our 4-6 hour installation process, we'll assess your hardware to ensure it can support our advanced features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition, allowing you to get world-class security without needing to replace all your current equipment.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your daily activity patterns—like turning lights on and off—to make your home look occupied even when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious human behaviour at your boundary, even if the person is trying to hide their face. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting. This escalating response is designed to make criminals feel exposed and watched, forcing them to leave your property immediately.

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 never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most AI tasks locally on your property for maximum speed and privacy. Data is only sent to our secure UK cloud when necessary for remote alerts or cloud storage. 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 only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. For Burford residents, this leaves many areas of your property unprotected. scOS provides comprehensive, whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary and uses AI to detect threats long before they reach your door. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is proactive, using voice and light deterrents to stop a crime in progress. We don't just record someone stealing from you; we aim to prevent them from ever stepping onto your property.

Burford's high tourism and footfall can make it difficult to spot suspicious activity. scOS uses MotionX to filter out the 'noise' of a busy village, focusing only on 'important activity' around your property boundary. Our AI is trained to recognise suspicious behaviour, such as someone loitering or attempting to hide their face, even in a busy environment. This ensures that you are only alerted to genuine threats, allowing you to enjoy the vibrancy of the village without compromising your home's security.

Yes, scOS features advanced Covered Face Detection. Our AI is trained to recognise suspicious concealment, such as hoods, balaclavas, or masks, which are often used by criminals to avoid identification. When the system detects someone with a covered face near your property boundary, it immediately flags this as high-priority 'important activity.' This triggers an instant alert to your phone and can initiate an escalating response from the system's voice and light deterrents, ensuring that even those trying to hide are spotted and warned off.
