Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records events as they happen, often leaving you with footage of a crime after the damage is done. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person entering your property—while ignoring distractions like pets or moving trees. Unlike standard systems, scOS takes action. It automatically detects your property boundaries and, if an intruder is detected, it uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting. For Codicote residents, this means your home is actively protected, not just recorded.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This Hub adds advanced AI capabilities to your current setup, including person recognition and DVLA vehicle tracking. This allows you to upgrade to the most advanced home intelligence system in Hertfordshire without the need for a complete hardware replacement, making it a cost-effective way to significantly enhance your home's security.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied when you're away by mimicking your usual internal lighting and activity patterns. Second is our MotionX AI, which accurately detects intruders even if they are wearing masks or trying to hide. Third is active intervention: if someone enters your property, scOS triggers escalating responses, including lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response tells the intruder they have been spotted and are being monitored, which is a powerful deterrent that usually causes them to leave the property immediately.

We prioritise your privacy and data security. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. The Intelligence Hub processes data locally for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for more complex AI analysis. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed only by you through our encrypted app. This ensures your home's intelligence remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. It might show you who is there, but it won't stop a crime. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property. It monitors your driveway, gardens, and all entry points, detecting threats long before they reach your door. While a doorbell just records, scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop criminals. For homes in Codicote, which often have larger plots and multiple entrances, scOS offers a level of comprehensive security and prevention that a simple doorbell cannot provide.

Codicote’s excellent links to Welwyn and Stevenage make it a prime location, but these same routes provide easy access for burglars targeting affluent villages. scOS is specifically designed to counter this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system identifies every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity, checking registrations against the DVLA database. If a suspicious or 'cloned' vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately. This provides an extra layer of security for Codicote residents, ensuring that any vehicle 'casing' the area is identified and recorded, making your home a much harder target for opportunistic thieves.

For many Codicote residents who commute, leaving the house empty during the day is a concern. scOS’s Presence Simulation is the perfect solution. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. This includes controlling internal lighting and other IoT devices to create a realistic simulation of human presence. This is a powerful deterrent against burglars who are looking for empty homes, providing you with peace of mind while you're at work or away on holiday.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. With scOS Director, our conversational AI, you can manage your security just by asking questions. You can ask, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' and the system will give you a clear, natural language answer. This means you don't have to spend time learning complex software or sifting through hours of footage. You can stay informed about your home's safety with ease, whether you're at home in Codicote or away on holiday.
