Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happens so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that works to prevent crime before it occurs. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—like a person stepping onto your driveway—while ignoring distractions like pets or wind-blown debris. Unlike traditional systems, scOS takes action. It automatically detects your property boundaries and, if an intruder is detected, it uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting. For Farndon residents, this means your security system is actively working to keep criminals away, rather than just filming them.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic and is compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This Hub adds advanced AI capabilities to your current setup, such as person recognition and DVLA vehicle tracking. This allows you to upgrade to the most advanced home intelligence system in Nottinghamshire without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, making it a cost-effective way to significantly boost your home's security.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied when you're away by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns. Second is our MotionX AI, which accurately detects intruders even if they are wearing masks or trying to hide. Third is active intervention: if someone enters your property, scOS triggers escalating responses, including lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response tells the intruder they have been spotted and are being monitored, which is a powerful deterrent that usually causes them to leave the property immediately.

We prioritise your privacy and data security. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell or share your data with third parties. The Intelligence Hub processes data locally for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for more complex AI analysis. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed only by you through our encrypted app. This ensures your home's intelligence remains private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. It might show you who is there, but it won't stop a crime. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property. It monitors your driveway, gardens, and all entry points, detecting threats long before they reach your door. While a doorbell just records, scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop criminals. For homes in Farndon, which often have larger gardens and multiple entrances, scOS offers a level of comprehensive security and prevention that a simple doorbell cannot provide.

Farndon’s proximity to the A46 can make it a target for criminals who use the main road for quick access and getaways. scOS counters this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system reads the registration of every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity and checks it against the national database. If a suspicious or 'cloned' vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately. This provides an essential layer of security for Farndon residents, ensuring that any vehicle 'casing' the village is identified and recorded, making your home a much harder target for opportunistic thieves.

The Nottinghamshire Police Rural Crime Team often highlights the risk of theft from outbuildings and garages. scOS is perfect for protecting these areas. Our MotionX AI can be set to monitor your entire property, including detached garages and sheds. If someone approaches these buildings, scOS will detect them and can trigger the same escalating voice and light deterrents used for your main house. This ensures that your high-value tools, bikes, and equipment are just as well-protected as your home itself, providing you with complete peace of mind.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. With scOS Director, our conversational AI, you can manage your security just by asking questions. You can ask, 'Was there any activity near the back gate today?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' and the system will give you a clear, natural language answer. This means you don't have to spend time learning complex software or sifting through hours of footage. You can stay informed about your home's safety with ease, whether you're at home in Farndon or away on holiday.
