Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises humans regardless of how they move or what they are wearing, effectively eliminating false alarms without the need for complex motion masks. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just watch; it reacts. By integrating with external IoT speakers and lighting, it can challenge intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, often stopping a break-in before it even begins. It's the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent security network. Our system is compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. We'll then connect your cameras to our Intelligence Hub, which handles local processing before escalating critical data to the cloud. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the significant expense of replacing all your existing camera hardware, provided they are wired and meet basic technical standards.

scOS employs a sophisticated, three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted intrusion. The first layer is Presence Simulation; our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural sequence to make the property look occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property's auto-detected boundaries. Unlike basic sensors, it can't be fooled by disguises or unusual movement. The final layer is Active Intervention. If a threat is detected, the system triggers escalating responses, from instant illumination to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. This proactive approach ensures that criminals feel watched and challenged, usually forcing them to flee before they reach your door.

Privacy and data security are at the heart of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully protected under UK GDPR regulations. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub performs initial analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for advanced AI processing or remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information or footage to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, detecting intruders before they even reach your home. Doorbell cameras are often wireless and can be easily jammed or blocked; scOS uses professional wired connections for reliability. Furthermore, doorbells lack the proactive deterrents that scOS provides, such as presence simulation and escalating voice warnings. While a doorbell shows you a crime happening, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from occurring in the first place by securing the perimeter, not just the front door.

Flax Bourton's location on the A370 makes it a prime spot for 'commuter crime,' where thieves target homes with easy access to Bristol. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your property. It can even detect cloned plates, providing Avon and Somerset Constabulary with vital evidence. By monitoring your driveway and property boundaries with AI, scOS ensures that any suspicious vehicle is identified and challenged before a crime can take place, making your home a much harder target for opportunistic thieves.

Many residents in Flax Bourton work in Bristol, leaving their homes empty during the day. Our Presence Simulation is the perfect solution for this. It doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your actual habits—like when you usually turn on the kitchen light or the TV—and replicates them realistically while you're at work. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone scouting the area, which is the most effective way to prevent your property from being targeted in the first place. Combined with our MotionX boundary detection, you can work in the city with total peace of mind.

In a village like Flax Bourton, you want a security system that is both powerful and discreet. Our professional UK-based installation team is experienced in setting up scOS on a variety of property types. We use wired connections for maximum reliability, ensuring that your system can't be jammed like wireless alternatives. We focus on clean, professional cable management that respects your home's appearance. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can even work with your existing cameras or help you choose new ones that blend perfectly with your property's aesthetic while providing top-tier AI protection.
