scOS is a proactive intelligence system, whereas traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool. Most systems simply record footage of a crime, which you then show to the Thames Valley Police after the event. scOS uses MotionX technology to identify "important activity" in real-time, ignoring false triggers like wind or animals. When a person is detected on your property, the system doesn't just watch; it intervenes. It uses automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they can cause damage. It’s not just a camera; it’s an intelligent system that actively defends your home's boundaries.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a wired system at your home in Eynsham, our UK-based installation team can usually integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This 4-6 hour professional installation transforms your existing cameras into a high-intelligence AI network. You’ll gain access to advanced features like person recognition, DVLA vehicle tracking, and proactive deterrents without needing to replace your current hardware, provided it meets our technical requirements for wired connectivity.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to learn your daily routines and mimic them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second, our MotionX technology detects intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they are trying to hide their identity. Finally, the system uses active intervention: it triggers high-intensity lighting and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. This immediate, automated response lets criminals know they are being watched by an active system, which is usually enough to make them flee before they even attempt a break-in.

You have 24/7 access to your recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days, ensuring your home is protected privately and securely.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. By the time it alerts you, an intruder is already at your entrance. In a village like Eynsham, where homes often have gardens or side access, a doorbell is easily bypassed. scOS provides 360-degree boundary protection, detecting intruders the moment they enter your property. It also uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to stop them before they even reach your door. While a doorbell is a digital peephole, scOS is a complete, proactive security system for your entire home and grounds.

Eynsham is a busy commuter village, and many residents are away from home for long periods during the day. scOS is perfect for this lifestyle, as our Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic your home's natural activity patterns while you're at work, making the property look occupied. Additionally, the scOS Director allows you to check in on your home using natural language, so you can quickly find out if a delivery arrived or if there was any activity while you were away. This provides peace of mind for busy professionals who want to ensure their home is protected 24/7.

With Eynsham's location on the A40, vehicle theft is a common concern for residents. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every vehicle that enters your property and checks its registration against the national database. This can flag suspicious or "cloned" plates often used by criminals scouting the area. By identifying these vehicles early, scOS can alert you to scouting behaviour before a crime is even attempted. This is a vital tool for residents who want to protect their cars and ensure their driveway is monitored by more than just a passive camera.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as having a chat. Instead of searching through hours of video, you can simply ask the Director questions like, "Did the delivery arrive today?" or "Was there any activity in the back garden last night?" The AI understands the context of your property and provides clear, natural language answers. It can even distinguish between family members and strangers based on their behaviour patterns, giving you a quick and easy way to stay informed about your home's security without any technical stress.
