Traditional CCTV is a 'passive' system—it records a crime while it happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is 'proactive.' It uses MotionX AI to detect 'important activity' (like a person approaching your home) while ignoring false alarms like animals or wind. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. It uses automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to challenge intruders at the boundary. It doesn't just watch crime; it stops it before it reaches your front door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. It works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation process in Ewyas Harold, our engineers will assess your existing cameras. If they are compatible, we can connect them to our Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading your 'dumb' cameras with MotionX AI, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents. This allows you to get the most out of your current investment while gaining world-class AI protection.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied when you're away by simulating internal activity patterns. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are trying to hide their faces or move in unusual ways. Third is Active Intervention: when a threat is detected, the system triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings. These voice deterrents are delivered via external speakers, letting the intruder know they have been spotted by an AI system, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company. All your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub first, and any cloud-based storage or processing is handled by our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our app.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. It detects an intruder the moment they step onto your driveway or into your garden, long before they reach your door. Unlike doorbells, which are often reactive, scOS is proactive—it uses lights and voice warnings to stop an intruder in their tracks. For a village home in Ewyas Harold, where side and rear access are often more vulnerable, scOS is a far more robust solution.

Ewyas Harold is a beautiful, remote village in the Golden Valley, but isolation can mean longer response times from West Mercia Police. scOS is designed for exactly this scenario. By providing an immediate, autonomous response—using lights and voice deterrents to challenge intruders—the system acts as your first responder. It removes the 'opportunity' for criminals who target remote areas, knowing they have time to work. With scOS, they are challenged the second they cross your boundary.

Yes, scOS is ideal for the larger properties and farmsteads found around Ewyas Harold. Our MotionX AI is trained to ignore livestock and local wildlife while remaining hyper-focused on human activity. Because we use professional wired installations, the system is much more reliable than Wi-Fi-based cameras, which can struggle with the thick stone walls of older properties or the distances involved in covering large gardens and outbuildings.

West Mercia Police, like all forces, benefit from high-quality evidence. scOS records in high definition 24/7, but more importantly, our AI filters footage into 'important activity' clips. This means if an incident occurs, you can provide the police with clear, relevant footage of the suspect and any vehicles (including DVLA-checked plate recognition) instantly. This significantly increases the chances of a successful investigation compared to standard CCTV systems.
