Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it captures footage of a crime for you to watch later. scOS is a proactive AI system that works to stop the crime before it happens. The core of our system is MotionX technology, which uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your home—while ignoring false alarms like pets or wind-blown debris. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action by triggering lights and delivering voice warnings through external IoT speakers. It transforms your security from a simple camera into an active, intelligent guardian for your Deanshanger home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK installation team can integrate your existing cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub in just 4-6 hours. This allows you to upgrade to a high-intelligence AI system without replacing all your hardware. We use wired connections because they are far more reliable than Wi-Fi and cannot be blocked by the signal jammers that some modern criminals use, ensuring your Deanshanger property is always protected.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation mimics your home's internal activity patterns when you're away, making it look like someone is always home. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders at your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, the system provides an Active Response: if someone enters your property, it triggers lights and escalating voice warnings from external speakers. This proactive approach is designed to make criminals feel 'watched' and 'exposed,' usually causing them to leave before they even reach your door.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for remote access and advanced analysis. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property, including driveways and side entrances. While doorbells often suffer from false alarms and 'motion blindness,' scOS uses MotionX to accurately detect threats with zero false alarms. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just show you who is at the door; it actively deters intruders at the boundary using AI-driven voice and light responses, stopping crime before it starts.

Deanshanger's proximity to Milton Keynes and the A422 makes it a convenient location for commuters, but it also means the village can be targeted by criminals looking for quick getaways. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which monitors all vehicles entering your driveway and checks them against the national database. This can identify suspicious cars or cloned plates, providing an essential layer of security for residents who may be concerned about vehicle theft or 'scouting' in the area.

Northamptonshire Police often recommend making your home look occupied to deter burglars. scOS takes this to the next level with our AI-driven Presence Simulation. Unlike simple light timers, scOS learns your actual habits—when you move from room to room or turn lights on and off—and replicates these patterns realistically when you're away. This is the most effective way to prevent your home from being selected as a target in the first place.

While Deanshanger has a lower crime rate than the national average, property crime still accounts for a significant portion of local incidents. Criminals often target quiet villages like Deanshanger because they assume security will be more relaxed than in larger towns. scOS ensures your home is a 'hard target.' By using proactive AI to deter intruders, you are protecting your family and helping to keep the entire Deanshanger community safer.
