Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to identify human threats with zero false alarms. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. It uses automatic property boundary detection to trigger instant light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping an intruder before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI-driven network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation—which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours—our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This local hub processes the video feed using our MotionX AI, adding features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection to your existing setup without needing a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: while you’re away, the system simulates human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied to anyone watching. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity'—it recognises people even if they are crouching, wearing masks, or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if someone crosses your property boundary, the system initiates Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination and escalates to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By detecting the threat early and responding automatically, scOS removes the 'opportunity' that most criminals look for in Farnham Common.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your video data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then securely backed up to our UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold or accessed by third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere via our secure app. By combining local processing with secure UK cloud storage, we provide the perfect balance of high-speed AI intelligence and robust data privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they’ve already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It identifies suspicious behaviour—like someone loitering near your side gate or a vehicle with cloned plates on your driveway—long before they reach the front door. While a doorbell records a crime, scOS is designed to prevent it through escalating deterrents, making it a comprehensive security solution rather than just a digital peephole.

Farnham Common and Farnham Royal are affluent areas that can attract professional thieves targeting high-value vehicles. scOS's DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a vital tool here. It identifies every vehicle that enters your property and checks its registration against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, scOS can alert you immediately and trigger its voice deterrents, letting the driver know they have been identified and recorded before they even step out of the car.

Yes, scOS is designed to integrate seamlessly with gated properties. Our AI can monitor the area around your gates and provide early warnings if someone is loitering or attempting to tamper with the entry system. Because scOS auto-detects your property boundaries, it can distinguish between someone passing by on the road and someone who has actually stepped onto your land, ensuring you only get alerts for genuine threats.

While the local crime rate is lower than the national average, Thames Valley Police often highlight that affluent villages near the M4/M40 corridor can be targets for organised crime. scOS is designed to prevent complacency. Our system provides a 'hard target' that actively deters intruders with voice warnings and light responses. By having a system that is always vigilant and capable of immediate intervention, you ensure that your home remains safe and secure, regardless of the trends in the wider region.
