Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime as it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime entirely. The core difference is our MotionX technology. Unlike standard cameras that are triggered by any movement—like swaying trees or animals—MotionX only alerts you to 'important activity.' It understands the human form and can recognise a person even if they are disguised or hiding. It requires no manual 'zones' because the AI automatically learns your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS is active. It uses external IoT speakers and lighting to challenge intruders the moment they step onto your land, scaring them off before they can cause any damage.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have a camera system at your Chilton home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with it, instantly upgrading your 'dumb' cameras with world-class AI. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will perform a full assessment of your existing hardware. We always recommend wired systems over wireless ones, as they are far more reliable and cannot be defeated by the signal jammers often used by modern criminals. By integrating your existing cameras, we can provide a massive security boost with minimal disruption to your property.

scOS uses a powerful three-stage deterrent system. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your routine and mimics it when you're away—turning lights on and off inside to make the house look lived-in. This is the best way to stop a crime before it's even planned. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a threat the moment they cross your boundary, even in the dark. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, scOS triggers external lights and delivers a clear, authoritative AI voice warning through external speakers. This escalating response is designed to make any criminal feel 'watched' and exposed, forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on to an easier target.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your video and personal data are stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a 'Local + Cloud' model: the scOS Intelligence Hub in your home processes the AI locally for speed and privacy, only sending data to our secure UK cloud when an event needs to be recorded or when you want to access your footage remotely. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings, and you remain in total control of who can see your feeds.

A video doorbell only protects your front door and is purely reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. In a village like Chilton, where property crime rates are significantly higher than the national average, you need whole-property protection. scOS monitors your entire boundary, including back gardens and side entrances. Unlike a doorbell, scOS is proactive; it uses MotionX to detect intruders early and then uses voice warnings and lights to drive them away. It’s a professional, wired system that doesn't suffer from the false alarms or battery issues common with consumer doorbells. While a doorbell is a simple gadget, scOS is a comprehensive security guard for your entire home.

Chilton faces a property crime rate that is notably higher than the national average, which means traditional security measures often fall short. scOS is specifically engineered for high-activity areas. Our MotionX AI is relentless in identifying suspicious behaviour, and our Active Intervention system is designed to be a hard deterrent. By challenging intruders with voice warnings and lights the moment they step onto your property, we stop the crime before they can even attempt to enter your home. For Chilton residents, scOS provides a proactive, intelligent shield that significantly reduces the risk of becoming a statistic.

Many homes in Chilton have detached garages or outbuildings that are prime targets for theft. scOS provides comprehensive coverage for your entire property, not just the main house. Our MotionX technology can be extended to monitor these vulnerable areas, detecting any unauthorised access the moment it occurs. Because the system uses active deterrents, it can scare off a thief before they've even touched your garage door. This whole-property approach ensures that your tools, vehicles, and valuables are protected by the same high-level AI as your home.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be conversational and accessible. Through 'scOS Director,' you can ask natural questions about your property just like you were talking to a security guard. For example, you could ask, 'Has there been any unusual activity near the back fence today?' or 'Did anyone come to the door while I was out?' The AI understands the context of your home's normal behaviour and can provide specific, relevant answers. This makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation, removing the need to scroll through hours of empty footage. It’s the perfect solution for busy Chilton residents who want high-level security without the technical headache.
