Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger on every swaying branch or passing fox, MotionX ignores 'noise' and focuses exclusively on important activity, such as a person approaching your property. It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with escalating responses to stop the intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or Axis), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it, upgrading 'dumb' cameras into an AI-powered security network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure compatibility. By leveraging your existing cameras, you can gain world-class AI protection without the cost of a full hardware replacement, though we can also provide high-specification cameras if needed.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal touches your property. First, our 'Presence Simulation' makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, such as lights turning on and off in a realistic sequence. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is wearing a mask or hood—and tracks them across your property boundaries. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an active intervention: instant external illumination and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to convince any intruder that the home is occupied and they have been spotted.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your video and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You retain total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that your home security should never come at the cost of your personal privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already rung it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that protects your entire perimeter. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your driveway, gardens, and side access points simultaneously. More importantly, scOS is designed to prevent crime rather than just record it. By using AI to detect threats at the boundary and deploying active deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation, we stop criminals before they ever get close enough to ring your doorbell.

While Ducklington enjoys a lower crime rate than the national average, its quiet, picturesque nature can lead to complacency. Rural villages are often targeted by criminals who assume security is lax and police response times are longer. scOS acts as your 24/7 digital security guard, ensuring that even in a quiet Oxfordshire village, your home is never an easy target. Our system provides the 'eyes on' that a rural location needs, alerting you to anomalies before they become incidents.

Presence Simulation is one of our most powerful features for village residents. When you're away—perhaps for a weekend in the Cotswolds or a trip into Witney—scOS learns your typical home habits. It then simulates these patterns by intelligently controlling internal lights and devices, making it appear as though someone is moving from room to room. To an opportunistic burglar scouting Ducklington, your home looks occupied and active, which is the single most effective way to encourage them to move on.

Yes. Many homes in Ducklington have outbuildings, garages, or workshops that contain high-value tools or equipment. scOS doesn't just monitor your front door; its AI boundary detection can be set to cover your entire property, including detached structures. If someone approaches your garage or shed, the system will recognise the 'important activity' and can trigger a voice warning or light response immediately, protecting your property from the perimeter inwards.
