Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but a video of a masked intruder to show the police. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. At its heart is MotionX, which identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—while ignoring pets, wind, and shadows. Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't require you to set up complex zones; it understands your property boundaries automatically. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with presence simulation to make the home look occupied and external voice warnings to tell the intruder to leave. It’s an active digital guard for your Churchill home, not just a silent witness.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. If you already have cameras installed at your Churchill property, our professional UK installers can usually integrate them with our Intelligence Hub. This process, which takes about 4 to 6 hours, upgrades your existing 'dumb' cameras into a smart, AI-powered network. We prioritise wired connections because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like Wi-Fi-based systems. This means you can keep your current hardware while gaining the full suite of scOS proactive protections, including MotionX and automated voice deterrents.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your daily activity patterns—like turning lights on and off—to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders at your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing a hood or trying to hide. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, external IoT speakers deliver a clear AI voice warning, and security lights illuminate the area. This immediate, vocal confrontation is incredibly effective at deterring criminals, as it proves they have been spotted and their actions are being monitored in real-time.

Privacy and security are our top priorities. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all data centres, support, and operations located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Your Intelligence Hub processes most information locally on your property, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI tasks and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. For residents in Churchill, this means you get the most advanced AI security available without having to worry about your private data being sent overseas or misused.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door. It might tell you someone is there, but it won't stop them from entering through a back door or window. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. It uses MotionX to detect threats long before they reach your door and, unlike doorbells that often give false alarms, it only alerts you to genuine human activity. Most importantly, scOS actively deters intruders with voice warnings and presence simulation, whereas a doorbell usually just records the event. It’s the difference between a simple notification and a proactive security system that stops crime.

Churchill's location on the A38 and its proximity to Bristol Airport makes it a high-traffic area, which unfortunately contributes to a property crime rate that is higher than the national average. scOS is specifically designed to counter this. Our DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition can identify suspicious cars that may be scouting the area or using the A38 for quick access. By detecting and deterring intruders at your property boundary with voice warnings and lighting, scOS provides a powerful defence that goes far beyond traditional alarms, helping to make your home a much harder target in a high-risk area.

The A38 brings a lot of legitimate traffic through Churchill, and traditional motion-sensing cameras would be constantly triggering false alarms. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is far more sophisticated. It ignores the cars driving past and the people on the pavement, focusing only on 'important activity' that occurs within your property boundaries. It can even distinguish between a delivery driver and someone who is loitering or scouting your home. This means you only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern, providing you with reliable security without the constant annoyance of false notifications.

For Churchill residents who travel frequently via Bristol Airport, scOS provides the ultimate 'away-from-home' security. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just turn a single light on; it mimics your actual household patterns, making it look like someone is moving from room to room. You can also use the scOS Director to check in on your home from anywhere in the world. Just ask, 'Has there been any activity while I've been away?' and you'll get a natural language summary of any events. This constant, intelligent monitoring ensures your home is protected and you stay informed, no matter where your travels take you.
