Traditional CCTV is a passive observer—it records footage for you to watch after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that works to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. It uses MotionX, our proprietary AI that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it won't be triggered by the heavy traffic on the A4074 or local wildlife. MotionX understands human behaviour and can recognise a person even if they are trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. When a threat is detected, scOS takes immediate action with lights and voice warnings to drive the intruder away.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation process, our engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This instantly upgrades your 'dumb' cameras with our MotionX AI, presence simulation, and proactive deterrent features. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective way to bring state-of-the-art AI security to your Crowmarsh Gifford home without the expense of a completely new hardware rollout, provided your existing cameras meet our high-definition standards.

scOS uses three layers of proactive defence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns while you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary with zero false alarms. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system triggers escalating responses, including bright external lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By removing the 'darkness and silence' that criminals rely on, scOS makes your property a high-risk target, usually causing intruders to flee before they even touch a door or window.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all data processing and storage happen within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. The system uses a 'Local + Cloud' approach: the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, while the cloud provides secure, encrypted storage for your 24/7 recordings. You have full control over your data through our app, and your footage is stored for up to two weeks, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining total privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive device with a very narrow field of view; it only tells you someone is at your door when they are already there. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. It uses AI to detect threats at the edge of your property, long before they reach your front door. Unlike doorbells, scOS is proactive—it uses light and sound to stop intruders. It is also professionally installed with wired connections, making it immune to the Wi-Fi jamming and battery failures that often plague consumer-grade video doorbells.

Crowmarsh Gifford's proximity to the A4074 means there is constant movement nearby. Traditional CCTV would be overwhelmed with false alerts from passing cars. However, scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically designed to ignore 'noise' like road traffic, swaying trees, and animals. It only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour on your property. This means you won't be bothered by constant notifications, but you can rest assured that if someone actually steps onto your driveway or into your garden, the system will identify them instantly.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA-linked vehicle recognition. For homes in Crowmarsh Gifford, this is particularly useful for monitoring who is using your driveway. The system can recognise your family's cars and ignore them, while flagging any unknown or suspicious vehicles. It even checks registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates. This data is logged and can be queried using 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI. You can simply ask, 'What cars have been on the drive today?' and get a detailed report, providing an extra layer of intelligence for your property.

scOS is designed for the modern homeowner. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Whether you're at work in Wallingford or on holiday abroad, you can ask questions like 'Is the back gate secure?' or 'Has there been any suspicious activity today?' and receive an immediate, intelligent response. This turns your security system from a complicated technical tool into a conversational assistant that keeps you informed and in control of your home's safety at all times.
