Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to intervene. Most systems use basic motion detection that triggers for every passing animal or swaying branch, leading to 'notification fatigue.' Our MotionX technology is different; it focuses only on 'important activity,' recognising people even if they are disguised or moving unusually. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to manually draw zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it uses external IoT speakers and automated lighting to warn the intruder off. It’s an active security presence that works to prevent the crime from happening in the first place.

scOS is designed to be highly compatible and can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have wired IP cameras from major brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will assess your setup. By linking your current cameras to the scOS Hub, you gain access to our advanced AI features like MotionX, DVLA vehicle recognition, and scOS Director without needing to replace every camera. This makes upgrading to a world-class, proactive security system both efficient and cost-effective for your Byfleet home.

We use a three-tiered approach to make your home an unattractive target. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your typical internal activity and mimics it when you're away, making your home look lived-in. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies genuine threats at your boundary instantly, ignoring the wildlife common in Surrey. Third is Active Intervention: if someone lingers, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers bright lights. This escalating response tells the intruder they are being monitored by an intelligent system, not just a camera, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, meaning your data never leaves the country and is protected by strict UK GDPR regulations. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks. Whether you're at home in Byfleet or travelling, you can access your system with the confidence that your data is secure, private, and entirely under your control.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and side entrances. While a doorbell is reactive—relying on you to see a notification and act—scOS is proactive. It detects threats at the boundary and intervenes automatically with lights and voice deterrents. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation, scOS offers a level of intelligence and prevention that a simple doorbell camera cannot match. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief and stopping them from entering your property at all.

Many Byfleet residents commute via the nearby M25 or A3, leaving their homes empty for long periods. scOS is built for this. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just use timers; it mimics your actual internal activity patterns, making your home look occupied throughout the day and evening. If the system detects a threat while you're at work, it handles it automatically with escalating deterrents. You can check in at any time by asking scOS Director, 'Is everything okay at home?' and receive a natural language update, giving you total peace of mind while you're away.

Criminals are increasingly using signal jammers to disable wireless security cameras and doorbells. scOS avoids this vulnerability by using a wired-over-wireless approach. Our professional UK installers use high-quality cabling to connect your cameras to the Intelligence Hub. This means your security system cannot be jammed or interfered with by external devices. It provides a rock-solid, reliable connection that ensures your home is protected 24/7, regardless of any attempts to disrupt your WiFi or wireless signals.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA vehicle recognition. In a suburban area like Byfleet, vehicles scouting for opportunities often stand out. scOS checks registrations against the national database to identify cloned plates or vehicles that have been seen loitering near your home multiple times. You can ask scOS Director for a report on all vehicles seen on your driveway, providing you with clear data on who has been visiting your property. This is a significant deterrent for organised criminals who use vehicles to plan their crimes.
