Most CCTV systems in Deddington are 'passive,' meaning they only record events for you to watch later. scOS is 'proactive' Home Intelligence. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means no false alarms from the wind in the trees or local wildlife. scOS automatically understands your property boundaries without you needing to set up complex zones. When it detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder. It’s a complete security ecosystem that acts as a digital guard for your home, providing a level of protection that traditional cameras simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Deddington property, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will evaluate your current setup. We prefer wired systems over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed by criminals. By integrating your existing cameras with scOS, you get all the benefits of our advanced AI—like presence simulation and escalating responses—without needing to replace your entire hardware setup.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence to protect your Deddington home. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your home's patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies real threats at your boundary with zero false alarms. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers to issue voice warnings and switches on lights. This immediate response removes the intruder's advantage of surprise and anonymity, usually causing them to flee before they even attempt to enter your home. It’s a comprehensive strategy designed to prevent crime, not just record it.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many other brands, we do not send your footage abroad. The Intelligence Hub in your Deddington home processes data locally for instant response, only using the cloud for secure storage and remote access. Your data belongs to you, and we never sell it to third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home's security is both effective and private.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is reactive—it tells you someone is there once they've already arrived. In a village like Deddington, you need protection for your entire property, including gardens and side entrances. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your boundaries and intervening before an intruder reaches your door. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone, scOS is already using voice deterrents and lights to drive the intruder away. It’s the difference between a simple notification and an active security system that stops crime in its tracks.

Deddington is a very safe village, but low crime rates can lead to a false sense of security. Criminals often target affluent, quiet areas because they expect less resistance. scOS is designed to maintain Deddington's peace by providing a proactive 'digital fence' around your home. Our Presence Simulation is especially useful for residents who travel or have second homes, ensuring the property always looks lived-in. By investing in scOS, you aren't just reacting to crime; you're ensuring that your home remains a safe haven, preventing your property from becoming an easy target.

We understand that Deddington is a historic village with many beautiful and listed buildings. scOS is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. Our professional UK installers are experienced in working with various property types and will ensure that the installation is neat and respects the aesthetic of your home. Because scOS can work with many different camera brands, we can often select hardware that blends in with your property's exterior. The 'intelligence' is in the Hub and the AI, not just the cameras, allowing for a high-tech security solution that doesn't compromise your home's character.

scOS is built for busy Deddington residents. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it. Our scOS Director feature allows you to interact with your system using natural language. You can ask questions like 'Has anyone been to the front door today?' or 'Is the back gate secure?' and get an immediate, clear answer. The system is designed to be 'set and forget'—it automatically detects your boundaries and learns your home's normal behaviour, so you only get alerted when something truly important happens. It provides professional-grade security with the simplicity of a modern smart device.
