Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records crime as it happens. scOS is proactive, designed to stop crime before it occurs. The difference lies in our MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity'—human behaviour—rather than just simple motion. You don't need to set up complex motion masks; scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. It ignores false alarms from the Shropshire Hills' wildlife, wind, or pets, and focuses entirely on potential threats. When someone enters your property in Church Stretton, scOS intervenes with lights and voice warnings, deterring them before they can reach your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Church Stretton home already has a wired camera system, our Intelligence Hub can transform it into a proactive AI network. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS system. We use wired connections because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like wireless systems. This allows you to upgrade to the latest AI security technology while making use of your existing hardware investment.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied, even when you're out hiking in the hills. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies human threats regardless of how they are dressed or moving. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder is detected, the system triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response lets criminals know they have been spotted by an active system, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

Privacy is a top priority for scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and security, only using the cloud for storage and remote access. We never sell your data or allow third parties to access your feeds. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere. This ensures that your Church Stretton home's security data remains private and protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system that protects your entire boundary. While a doorbell might tell you someone is at the door, scOS uses AI to detect and deter threats before they even reach your house. With proactive deterrents like voice warnings and light responses, scOS offers a much higher level of security for Church Stretton residents, especially those with larger properties or more isolated homes, than a simple doorbell can provide.

Church Stretton is surrounded by the Shropshire Hills, meaning local wildlife like sheep and deer are common. Traditional motion-sensing cameras would be triggered constantly, leading to 'notification fatigue.' scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and focus only on human activity. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms caused by wildlife, and you can trust that any alert you receive is a genuine security concern.

Many properties in Church Stretton are somewhat isolated, which can be a concern for residents. scOS is designed to provide peace of mind for rural homes. Our proactive deterrents—lights and voice warnings—act as an immediate first line of defence, even if you are far from neighbours. Additionally, our scOS Director allows you to ask natural questions like, 'Has anyone been near the back gate today?' giving you an instant update on your property's security without having to scroll through hours of footage.
