Most CCTV systems are passive; they record footage for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is proactive. It uses MotionX AI to identify genuine threats in real-time, ignoring false triggers like pets or swaying trees. Unlike traditional systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, the system doesn't just record—it intervenes. It uses automatic lights and voice deterrents to warn off intruders. Plus, with scOS Director, you can interact with your system using natural language, asking questions about who has been to your property while you were out.

Yes, scOS is designed to be highly flexible and is compatible with most modern wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. During our professional installation process, which takes about 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will evaluate your current hardware. If your cameras meet the required specifications, we can integrate them directly into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to benefit from our advanced AI features—like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating responses—without the expense of replacing your entire existing camera setup.

scOS employs a powerful three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual internal lighting and activity patterns. Second, our MotionX AI provides 'always-on' detection that recognises people regardless of their movement or if they are trying to hide their identity. Third, the system uses Active Intervention. If an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers immediate lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to make any criminal feel exposed and watched, forcing them to leave before they can cause any damage.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other systems that may send your video feeds to servers abroad, scOS keeps your information within the UK. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub handles data locally for instant response, and only necessary data is sent to the cloud for secure storage. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and kept for up to two weeks, accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it only sees what's directly in front of it and often only alerts you once someone is already at the door. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your driveways, gardens, and side entrances, using AI to stop a crime before it even starts. Because scOS uses wired cameras, it is also immune to the Wi-Fi jamming techniques that can disable many wireless doorbells. It’s a professional-grade security solution that protects your whole home, not just your front door.

Drakes Broughton’s proximity to the M5 and major roads like the A44 makes it accessible for commuters, but also for 'travelling' criminals who target affluent villages. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify suspicious vehicles or cloned plates that may be scouting the area. By monitoring the vehicles that enter your driveway or linger near your property, scOS provides an extra layer of intelligence that is vital for preventing organised vehicle theft and providing high-quality evidence to West Mercia Police if an incident occurs.

While Drakes Broughton has a property crime rate of 14.25 per 1,000 residents—well below the national average—it’s important not to be complacent. Criminals often target quieter villages precisely because they expect security to be more relaxed. scOS provides a 'set and forget' solution that keeps your home protected 24/7. Our AI-driven system ensures that even in a quiet area, any unusual activity is spotted and dealt with immediately, maintaining the safety and tranquility of your home without you having to constantly monitor it yourself.

Many residents in Drakes Broughton have beautiful gardens and outbuildings that are often poorly protected by standard home alarms. scOS is perfect for this because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, including the far reaches of your garden. If someone enters your land, the system can trigger a voice deterrent or turn on floodlights before they even get near your house or shed. This proactive approach is much more effective at protecting expensive garden equipment, bikes, and outdoor furniture than a traditional alarm that only triggers once a door is forced.
