Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Most cameras just record footage for you to look at after a crime has happened. scOS uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically humans and vehicles—while ignoring false triggers like wind or animals. It doesn't require you to set up 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes immediately with lights and voice warnings, stopping the intruder before they can break in. It’s active protection versus passive recording.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and is designed to work with almost all professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team will integrate your existing cameras with our Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with our advanced AI features. This means you can keep your current hardware while gaining proactive deterrents, vehicle recognition, and presence simulation. During the 4-6 hour installation at your Chesterton home, we'll ensure your system is fully optimised for the scOS platform.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they enter your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hoodie. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver voice warnings and lights illuminate the area. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data security is our top priority. All your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We never sell your data to third parties. Most of the AI processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, with the cloud used for secure remote access and advanced analysis. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored 24/7 for up to two weeks and are accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there after they've already arrived. scOS provides 360-degree proactive protection for your entire property. It detects threats at your boundary and uses AI to stop them before they reach your door. Furthermore, scOS is a wired system, making it immune to the 'WiFi jammers' that criminals often use to disable wireless doorbells. For a home in Chesterton, scOS offers a much more robust and comprehensive security solution than a simple doorbell.

Chesterton's proximity to Bicester and major transport links can unfortunately make it a target for vehicle thieves. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which reads the number plates of any car entering your property and checks them against the DVLA database. It can identify suspicious vehicles, such as those with cloned plates or no MOT. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on my drive today?' to get an instant report. This is a powerful tool for protecting your vehicles and identifying potential 'scouts.'

Presence Simulation is one of our most popular features for residents who travel or work away. Unlike a simple light timer, scOS learns your actual habits—which lights you use and when—and replicates them realistically. This makes your home look truly occupied, which is the best way to deter burglars who are looking for empty properties. If someone does approach, the system's AI will detect them and can even issue a voice warning, making it clear that the property is being actively monitored, even if you're miles away.

Absolutely. Our professional UK-based installation team handles the entire process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours. We ensure all wiring is neat and that your Intelligence Hub is perfectly configured to map your property boundaries. We'll also walk you through how to use the scOS Director and set up your presence simulation. You get a fully bespoke, professional setup with no DIY hassle, and our UK-based support team is always available if you have any questions later on.
