Traditional CCTV is a passive observer, but scOS is an active participant in your home's safety. Our MotionX technology is the core difference; it focuses on 'important activity'—recognising people even if they are disguised or crawling—while ignoring the wind, spiders, and shadows that cause false alarms on standard systems. Unlike old-fashioned setups that require manual 'zones,' scOS auto-detects your property lines. It doesn't just record crime; it intervenes with escalating light and voice responses to stop intruders in their tracks.

Most likely, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with the majority of wired IP cameras, including professional brands like Hikvision, Axis, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK installation team will visit your Cranfield home for a 4-6 hour setup, during which they will integrate your existing hardware into our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and pattern learning without needing a full hardware replacement.

We use a multi-layered approach to deterrence that starts before a criminal even reaches your door. Presence Simulation is our first line of defence, making your Cranfield home look occupied by simulating realistic internal activity patterns while you're away. If someone does approach, our MotionX AI identifies them instantly, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The system then triggers an escalating response, using external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and smart lighting to illuminate the threat, forcing the intruder to flee.

We take a 'UK-first' approach to data. All scOS data is processed and stored in secure UK-based data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance and the highest levels of privacy. Your Intelligence Hub processes most activity locally on your property, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced AI analysis. We never sell your data, and you have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, giving you total peace of mind.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often easily bypassed or ignored by experienced criminals. scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your land rather than at your doorstep. While doorbells are reactive, scOS is proactive—it uses AI to recognise suspicious behaviour and intervene automatically. It’s a professional-grade security solution that offers far more protection than a simple consumer-grade doorbell.

Cranfield's unique position as a hub for technology and research means many residents have high-value vehicles or equipment. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your property. It can distinguish between your own vehicles and strangers, and it even flags cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This is particularly useful for homes near the University or the Innovation Centre where traffic can be more frequent.

Cranfield is a safe village, but its crime rate of 46.16 per 1,000 residents shows that property crime is still a reality. Criminals often target quieter villages like ours because they assume security is lax or police response times from Bedford will be longer. scOS removes that 'soft target' appeal by providing an immediate, autonomous response that makes your home look like the most difficult house on the street to break into, regardless of local police patrol frequency.

Yes, scOS is perfect for the varied architecture of Cranfield, from traditional cottages to modern builds. Our AI-driven scOS Director allows you to ask natural questions about your property, such as 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'When did the delivery van arrive?' This conversational AI makes managing your home security as easy as talking to a security guard, providing instant answers without you having to scroll through hours of footage.
