Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that works to prevent the crime from happening. The core of our system is MotionX, an AI that understands 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that use 'motion masks' and are often triggered by wind or animals in the Somerset countryside, scOS automatically detects your Farmborough property boundaries and only alerts you to genuine human threats. It doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated lights and voice warnings to challenge intruders the moment they are detected.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation in Farmborough, our engineers will assess your current cameras to see if they can be integrated with our Intelligence Hub. By upgrading your existing cameras with scOS, you gain the power of our AI and proactive deterrents without needing to replace all your hardware. We use wired connections because they are more reliable and cannot be 'jammed' like WiFi-based systems.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal lighting patterns to make your Farmborough home look occupied when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, regardless of how they try to hide. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers to issue a voice warning and activates bright security lights. This escalating response tells the intruder they've been caught by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Privacy is a top priority for us. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. We use a 'Local + Cloud' model where your Intelligence Hub handles immediate processing on-site for speed, while our secure UK cloud handles remote access and advanced AI tasks. Your data is yours alone; we never sell it to third parties. You have full control and can access up to two weeks of 24/7 recordings from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. It might show you a package being stolen, but it won't stop it. scOS is a professional-grade security system that protects your entire property. It detects suspicious activity at your boundaries and intervenes before the intruder even reaches your door. For residents in Farmborough, scOS provides a much higher level of protection, covering driveways, gardens, and outbuildings, and actively working to prevent crime rather than just recording it.

Farmborough's location on the A39 can make it a transit point for opportunistic crime. scOS features advanced vehicle recognition that checks registrations against the DVLA database. This allows you to monitor every vehicle that enters your property and identify any that are suspicious or unrecognised. You can even ask the scOS Director, our conversational AI, 'What vehicles have been on the drive today?' to get an instant report, giving you peace of mind about who is visiting your home.

Yes. Our MotionX AI is specifically designed to ignore the 'noise' of a rural environment, such as swaying trees, shadows, and local wildlife like foxes or badgers. It focuses exclusively on human activity and vehicles. This means you won't be bothered by constant false alarms on your phone, but you can be confident that if scOS sends you an alert, it's for something that truly requires your attention.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. Our 'scOS Director' allows you to interact with your system using natural language. You can simply ask it questions about what's happening at your home, just like you're talking to a security guard. We also provide professional UK-based installation and support, ensuring your system is set up perfectly and you know exactly how to get the most out of it.
