Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. Our MotionX technology is the core difference—it focuses on 'important activity' rather than just pixels moving. This means it ignores the wind in the trees or a cat crossing the lawn, but instantly recognises a person, even if they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. There are no motion masks to set up; it works out of the box. When scOS detects a threat, it uses external IoT speakers and lighting to warn the intruder off, providing a level of protection that standard 'record-only' systems simply cannot match.

scOS is designed to be highly compatible with existing security infrastructure. If you have a wired IP camera system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, we can often integrate them into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brand-agnostic' approach means you don't have to start from scratch. During our professional UK installation—which usually takes between 4 and 6 hours—our engineers will verify your cameras' compatibility. By upgrading your existing 'dumb' cameras with scOS AI, you gain access to features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director without the expense of a full hardware replacement.

Our system deters criminals through three distinct layers of proactive technology. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look lived-in by mimicking your internal activity patterns while you're at work or on holiday. Second, MotionX detection identifies intruders the moment they step onto your property, regardless of how they are dressed or moving. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external lights flash and IoT speakers deliver clear voice warnings. This escalating response is designed to startle and discourage intruders, making it clear that your home is not a soft target and that their presence has been noted by an intelligent system.

We take data sovereignty seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based operation, from our support teams to our data centres. Your footage and data are protected under strict GDPR regulations and are never sold to third parties. We use a 'Local + Cloud' processing model: the Intelligence Hub in your home processes most data locally for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI tasks and to allow you to access your system remotely. You have full control over your data and can access 24/7 recordings for up to 14 days.

Video doorbells are often the first thing a criminal sees—and the first thing they avoid or cover. They are reactive, only alerting you when someone is already at your door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and driveways, using MotionX to spot threats before they reach your house. Unlike a doorbell, scOS actually intervenes to stop crime using lights and voice deterrents. It’s a professional, wired system that can't be jammed like many wireless doorbells, offering far superior reliability and security for your entire Frampton Cotterell home.

Frampton Cotterell and Winterbourne are popular with commuters, meaning many homes are empty during the day. scOS Presence Simulation is perfect for this; it learns your typical household patterns—like when lights go on or off—and replicates them while you're at the office in Bristol. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone 'casing' the street, which is the most effective way to prevent a burglary from being planned in the first place.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition. This is particularly useful in South Gloucestershire for identifying suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area. The system checks number plates against the DVLA database and can alert you if a vehicle with cloned plates or a history of suspicious activity enters your driveway. You can even ask the scOS Director, 'What cars have been on the drive today?' for an instant natural-language report.

scOS is built for the British weather. Our MotionX AI is specifically trained to ignore the 'noise' that causes false alarms in other systems, such as heavy rain, wind-blown foliage, or spiders crawling across the lens. This is essential for maintaining trust in your security system; you’ll only get an alert when there is a genuine person or vehicle of interest on your property, ensuring you aren't disturbed by your phone buzzing every time there's a storm.
