scOS is a major advancement over traditional CCTV. While standard systems just record video, scOS is an active AI security guard. It uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity,' ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. It doesn't require you to draw complex zones; it automatically understands your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS is proactive. It doesn't just record a crime; it uses automated voice warnings and lighting to stop an intruder before they can break in, providing a level of protection that passive recording simply can't match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Cinderford property, our engineers can integrate it with the scOS Intelligence Hub during our professional installation. This transforms your existing cameras into an intelligent AI network, giving you advanced features like presence simulation and vehicle recognition without the need for a full hardware replacement. We'll assess your current setup during the 4-6 hour installation to ensure everything is optimised.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your daily activity—turning lights on and off—to make your home look occupied even when you're out. Second, our MotionX AI detects anyone entering your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver voice warnings and lights flash to let the intruder know they've been spotted. This immediate, automated response is designed to stop a crime before it happens by making the intruder flee immediately.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many other systems, we don't send your footage to overseas servers. The scOS Intelligence Hub processes your data locally first, only escalating to the cloud for secure storage and remote access. You have total control over your data, and we never sell it. You can access your 24/7 recordings from the last two weeks at any time through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only sees what's directly in front of your door. scOS is a professional security system that monitors your entire property. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at the door, scOS uses AI to detect someone in your garden or driveway long before they reach the house. With active deterrents like voice warnings and 24/7 recording that isn't dependent on Wi-Fi, scOS provides a much higher level of protection for your home and family in Cinderford.

With crime rates in Cinderford currently sitting above the national average, standard CCTV is no longer enough to protect your Forest of Dean home. scOS provides an active AI guard that identifies suspicious behaviour and uses voice warnings to stop criminals in their tracks before they can cause damage. It’s a proactive approach that is essential for keeping your property and family safe in a higher-crime area.

Yes, scOS is designed to work perfectly in the varied housing of Cinderford, from traditional homes to newer developments. Our AI automatically learns your property boundaries, so it knows exactly where your land ends and the public space begins. This means you won't get alerts every time a neighbour walks past, but you will be notified the second someone steps onto your property. It’s a 'set and forget' system that provides high-level security without the constant annoyance of false alarms.

Gloucestershire Constabulary are more likely to act when provided with clear, high-quality evidence. scOS records 24/7 in high definition and uses AI to tag important events, making it easy to find the footage you need. If an incident occurs, you can use scOS Director to quickly pull up clips of suspicious activity or specific individuals. This professional-grade evidence is invaluable for police investigations and insurance claims, providing a level of detail that standard DIY systems simply cannot match.
