Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to understand what it’s seeing in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their face. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. It uses automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter intruders before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive system. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By layering scOS over your existing cameras, you gain access to MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our proactive deterrent features without needing to replace every piece of hardware. This makes upgrading to AI-powered home intelligence both cost-effective and efficient for Exminster residents.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to stop crime before it happens. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal activity patterns and simulate them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. If a prowler does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. Instant illumination floods the area, and external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings. These aren't just pre-recorded loops; they are escalating responses that let the intruder know they have been detected. By removing the element of surprise and making the risk of capture too high, scOS forces criminals to move on.

At scOS, we take privacy as seriously as security. We are a 100% UK-based company, meaning your data is stored in UK data centres and managed under strict GDPR compliance. Unlike many global brands, we never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. Your home’s intelligence stays within your control, protected by British privacy standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. We use professional-grade, wired cameras that cannot be jammed like wireless doorbells, and our AI monitors every corner of your property, not just the front step. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, scOS provides a level of proactive protection that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match. It’s the difference between a notification and a solution.

Exminster is a safe area, but its proximity to Exeter and the M5 can make it a target for opportunistic crime. It’s easy to become complacent when crime rates are low, but scOS is designed to ensure you're never caught off guard. Our system provides 24/7 vigilance, even when you aren't thinking about security. By installing scOS, you aren't just reacting to a local crime wave; you are putting in place a permanent, intelligent deterrent that maintains the safety of your home, ensuring Exminster stays the peaceful village you love.

For residents who commute to Exeter or further afield, scOS offers unparalleled peace of mind. Our Presence Simulation feature is particularly valuable here; it learns your daily routines and simulates human activity inside your home while you're at work, making it look like someone is always there. Additionally, you can use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to check on your home from your phone. You can ask, 'Has anyone been to the front door today?' or 'Is the car still on the driveway?' and get an instant, natural language update, keeping you connected to your home security no matter where your commute takes you.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for identifying suspicious vehicles in your area. The system reads number plates and checks them against the DVLA database to flag 'cloned' or suspicious plates. This is particularly useful for spotting potential 'scouts' who may be casing your property or the neighbourhood. You can easily review vehicle activity through the scOS app or ask our conversational AI, scOS Director, for a summary of vehicles seen on your driveway, giving you complete visibility and peace of mind.
