Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records what happens, often leaving you with footage of a crime after it's already occurred. These systems are also prone to false alarms from pets or weather. scOS, however, is an active AI system. Our MotionX technology is designed to ignore 'noise' and only alert you to important activity, like people or vehicles. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. It uses automatic boundary detection to know when someone is on your property and can trigger immediate light and voice responses to deter them. It’s not just a camera; it’s an intelligent security system that works to prevent crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and can work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you already have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can integrate with them, upgrading your 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence AI network. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure everything is working perfectly. This allows you to get the benefits of scOS’s proactive AI, such as presence simulation and vehicle recognition, without needing to replace your entire existing system.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns while you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity the moment someone enters your property. Third is Active Intervention: if the AI detects a threat, it can instantly trigger external lights and deliver voice warnings through IoT speakers. By identifying an intruder and vocally warning them before they even reach your house, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on, effectively deterring them before they can cause damage.

Your data security 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. Unlike other systems that might send your footage to servers abroad, scOS ensures your data stays within the UK. We use a combination of local processing on your Intelligence Hub and secure cloud escalation. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and it is only accessible by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and usually only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS offers whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is proactive, using AI to detect and deter intruders before they even get to your door. Additionally, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system, making it much more reliable than wireless doorbells which can be susceptible to signal jamming or battery failure. It’s a comprehensive security solution rather than just a single point of entry monitor.

Chipperfield’s proximity to the M25 and its surrounding woodland make it a prime location for high-value vehicle theft, as criminals can quickly escape via the motorway. scOS is specifically designed to combat this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system can identify suspicious vehicles, check registrations against the DVLA database, and alert you to cloned plates. By monitoring your driveway 24/7 with MotionX, scOS can detect someone approaching your car and trigger an immediate deterrent response, stopping the theft before it starts.

Hertfordshire Constabulary are dedicated, but response times in village locations can vary. scOS provides an immediate, on-site response that doesn't wait for the police to arrive. By using escalating voice warnings and lights, the system often scares off intruders before they can even attempt to enter your home. This 'first line of defence' is crucial in areas like Chipperfield, where the goal is to prevent the crime entirely, rather than just providing footage to the police after the fact.

Yes, scOS is perfect for properties bordering woodland. Our AI-driven MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the movement of trees, animals, and shadows, which are common in woodland-adjacent homes. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms from deer or wind-blown branches. The system will only alert you to 'important activity,' such as a person walking through your garden or a vehicle entering your driveway, providing reliable security without the frustration of constant, irrelevant notifications.
