Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The difference lies in our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring 'unimportant' motion like wind, animals, or spiders in the Dorset countryside. Unlike standard systems, you don't need to set up complex motion masks. When scOS detects a threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to deter the intruder. It’s like having a security guard who never sleeps, rather than just a camera that watches you get burgled.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK installation team can integrate your existing cameras into our Intelligence Hub in just 4-6 hours. This allows you to upgrade your Charlton Marshall home to AI-powered security without having to replace your current hardware. We prefer wired systems because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like wireless cameras, making your existing wired setup the perfect foundation for our advanced proactive features.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to keep your Charlton Marshall home safe. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to learn your daily habits and replicates them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, our MotionX AI detects any intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or figure. Third, the system provides an Active Intervention, using lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to let the intruder know they've been spotted. This proactive response is designed to stop a crime before it even begins.

Your privacy is paramount. 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 processes most intelligence locally on your Intelligence Hub and only uses our secure UK cloud for remote access and necessary escalations. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that your Charlton Marshall property's data is protected by the highest standards of British privacy law.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door. It might tell you someone is there, but it won't stop them from entering through a back window or side gate. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and intervening before an intruder reaches your house. Additionally, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed, whereas scOS uses reliable wired connections. For a home in Charlton Marshall, scOS offers a much more comprehensive and proactive level of security than a simple doorbell.

Charlton Marshall's linear layout along the A350 means that a lot of traffic passes through the village every day. While the local crime rate is very low, this constant flow of vehicles can provide opportunities for 'passing' criminals to spot potential targets. scOS is specifically designed for this, using DVLA Vehicle Recognition to flag suspicious cars and MotionX to provide 24/7 monitoring of your driveway and property. It’s about ensuring your home remains a safe haven, even with the busy A350 right on your doorstep.

Yes, vehicle security is a key feature of scOS. Our system uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to identify cars on your property and can alert you if a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected. This is particularly useful in Charlton Marshall, where the proximity to a main road can make vehicle theft a concern. Our MotionX AI will also recognise if someone is loitering near your cars and can trigger an immediate voice deterrent to scare them off, providing a much more effective way to prevent theft than traditional cameras.

scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. Our scOS Director is a conversational AI that allows you to manage your system using natural language. You can simply ask, 'Is the house secure?' or 'Did anyone come to the gate this morning?' and get an instant, clear answer. There are no complex menus to navigate or difficult settings to learn. This makes scOS the ideal security solution for Charlton Marshall residents who want the best protection without any technical hassle.
