Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—with zero false alarms. It ignores pets, shadows, and weather, focusing only on genuine risks. When a threat is detected at your Burghfield Common home, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to scare off intruders before they can reach your property.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your property already has a wired system, we can often integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade to advanced AI features like MotionX and vehicle recognition without replacing your existing hardware. Our professional UK-based installers will assess your setup during the installation process to ensure everything is perfectly optimised for our AI.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to learn your daily activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX AI identifies intruders with incredible accuracy, even if they are disguised. Third, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and bright lights to challenge the intruder. This combination of making the home look lived-in and providing an immediate, intelligent response to trespassers is highly effective at preventing crime.

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. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the initial AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, while our secure UK cloud is used for more complex tasks and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is largely reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and intervening the moment a threat is detected. In Burghfield Common, where opportunistic theft can be a concern, having a system that can stop a criminal at the garden fence or driveway is far more effective than a doorbell that only records them once they've reached your front door.

Burghfield Common's proximity to Reading and the M4 makes it a target for criminals who scout quiet Berkshire villages for high-value targets. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically identifies the registration plates of vehicles entering your property. It can flag suspicious or 'cloned' plates by checking them against the DVLA database. This provides an essential early warning system, alerting you to potential threats before an intruder even exits their vehicle.

Many homes in Burghfield Common feature large gardens and complex boundaries. Traditional security systems often struggle with these, leading to false alarms. scOS uses AI-driven Automatic Property Boundary Detection. The system automatically learns where your property ends and public space begins. This means it knows the difference between someone walking on the pavement and a stranger stepping onto your land, providing pinpoint accuracy for your property without any complex manual setup.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to manage your home security using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Director, was there anyone on the driveway this morning?' or 'Did the gardener come today?' The AI understands your home's normal activity patterns and can provide instant answers, saving you from having to manually review hours of footage. It's like having a digital security guard for your Burghfield Common home that you can talk to anytime.
