Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is an active participant in your home's defence. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only, such as a person approaching your boundary. It requires no manual setup of tripwires; the system automatically understands your property lines and ignores irrelevant movement like spiders or wind. Instead of just providing footage for the Hertfordshire Constabulary after a crime, scOS intervenes the moment a threat is detected, using light and voice deterrents to stop intruders before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a truly intelligent security network. Our system is compatible with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for our Intelligence Hub. By integrating your existing cameras, you can upgrade to proactive AI protection without the cost of a full hardware overhaul, gaining features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating responses instantly.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempt. First, our Presence Simulation makes your Chorleywood home appear occupied even when you're away, by simulating natural human activity patterns inside. Second, if someone does approach, our MotionX technology instantly recognises them as a person—even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette—and begins monitoring their behaviour. Finally, the system triggers an active intervention: external IoT speakers deliver an AI voice warning while smart lighting illuminates the area. This escalating response ensures that an intruder feels watched and exposed, usually causing them to flee before any damage is done.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All your data is processed through our local Intelligence Hub within your home before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access for advertising. You retain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK—from support to servers—we provide a level of data sovereignty that foreign-owned companies simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole that tells you someone is already at your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed, scOS uses professional wired connections for unbreakable reliability. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, scOS uses AI to detect suspicious behaviour across your whole garden or driveway and uses escalating voice and light deterrents to drive intruders away. It’s the difference between seeing a crime happen and preventing it from ever occurring.

Chorleywood is known for its high-value properties and vehicles, which can unfortunately attract unwanted attention. Our Presence Simulation is designed to counter this by making your home look active and lived-in at all times. It mimics your real-life habits, such as moving between rooms and using lights in a natural way. This is far more effective than simple timers and is the best way to ensure your home doesn't look like an easy target while you're out or on holiday.

Vehicle theft is a key concern in affluent areas. scOS uses DVLA Vehicle Recognition to track every car that enters your driveway, checking registrations against the national database. This allows the system to identify suspicious vehicles or cloned plates instantly. You can even use the scOS Director to ask 'What cars have been on the drive today?' for a full report, ensuring your vehicles are always protected by an intelligent eye.

scOS is a 100% UK-based company, meaning all our data centres, support teams, and engineers are located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Your security footage is processed locally in your home's Intelligence Hub before being securely backed up to our UK cloud, giving you total control and peace of mind over your personal information.
