scOS is a generational leap over traditional CCTV. While standard systems are passive—simply recording a crime as it happens—scOS is proactive. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' with 99.9% accuracy, ignoring common false triggers like foxes or wind-blown trees. Unlike old-fashioned systems that require you to draw complex 'motion masks,' scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a person, it doesn't just record; it intervenes. Through escalating light and voice responses, it actively deters criminals, often stopping a break-in before it even begins. It’s not just a camera; it’s an intelligent security presence.

In most cases, yes. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, working with the majority of professional wired IP cameras including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will connect your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'smarts-up' your current hardware, giving you access to advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director without the need for a full hardware overhaul. This makes scOS a highly sustainable and cost-effective way to upgrade your Colney Heath home to the highest standard of AI-driven security available in the UK.

We use a multi-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: our AI learns your typical home habits and simulates them when you're away, making it look like someone is always in. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders regardless of whether they are wearing hoods or masks. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If someone enters your property, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver a voice warning and activates security lighting. This immediate, escalating response makes it clear to any criminal that they have been spotted and that the property is actively defended, which is usually enough to make them flee.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property. Only when an event requires escalation or remote viewing is data sent to our secure UK cloud. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our encrypted app.

Video doorbells are limited; they only see what's directly in front of them and often only alert you once someone is already at your door. scOS provides 360-degree property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, driveways, and gardens, detecting threats long before they reach your entrance. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or lose connection. scOS uses a professional, wired installation that is far more robust. With scOS, you aren't just seeing who is at the door; you are preventing criminals from even getting that close to your Colney Heath home.

Colney Heath’s proximity to the M25 and A414 makes it a prime area for criminals using cloned plates to evade detection. scOS features advanced DVLA vehicle recognition that doesn't just read plates; it cross-references them with the national database. If a vehicle's make and model don't match the registered plate, or if an unrecognised vehicle enters your driveway at 3 AM, scOS will flag it as a high-priority anomaly. This allows you to provide Hertfordshire Constabulary with high-quality, actionable intelligence that standard CCTV systems simply cannot provide.

Yes, scOS is perfect for protecting detached properties with multiple entry points. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, so there’s no need for you to set up complex zones. Whether it’s a side gate, a detached garage, or a rear garden backing onto the heath, MotionX monitors every angle. If someone tries to sneak onto your land, the system will trigger a voice deterrent from the nearest IoT speaker, ensuring that every inch of your property is actively defended against trespassers.

Managing your security is as easy as sending a text. With 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, you can ask questions like 'Has the gardener been today?' or 'Show me any suspicious activity from last night.' You don't have to spend hours reviewing footage; the AI does the work for you and gives you a natural language summary. This is ideal for busy Colney Heath residents who want the highest level of security without the hassle of managing a complex technical system.
