Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage that you might look at after a crime has already occurred. In a town like Frome, known for its independent spirit and unique properties, you need more than just a recording. scOS is a proactive 'Home Intelligence' system. Using MotionX AI, it distinguishes between a person and a stray animal or a swaying branch with 100% accuracy, requiring no manual 'motion masks.' Most importantly, scOS intervenes. If an intruder crosses your property boundary, the system triggers escalating responses—from smart lighting to AI voice warnings via external IoT speakers—to deter them before they ever attempt to break in. It’s the difference between watching a crime and preventing one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive deterrents. For Frome residents who may already have a system in place, this means you can upgrade to the latest AI technology without the cost and disruption of a full hardware replacement. If your current cameras are wireless or outdated, we can also provide high-quality wired alternatives that are immune to signal jamming.

scOS deters criminals through a three-layered proactive strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns—perfect for when you're out enjoying Catherine Hill or the local markets. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour instantly, even if an intruder is attempting to conceal their identity. Third, if a threat is detected, scOS initiates Active Intervention. This involves external IoT speakers delivering escalating AI voice warnings and lights flashing to alert the intruder that they have been spotted. By removing the cover of darkness and anonymity, scOS creates a hostile environment for criminals, typically causing them to flee before any damage is done.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is 100% UK-based, meaning all your data is processed and stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data to third parties. Your Intelligence Hub handles most processing locally for maximum speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for escalation and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. For Frome residents, this ensures that your home security data stays within the UK and under your control, providing peace of mind that your family's privacy is always protected.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. It tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them from being there. scOS provides a comprehensive 'Home Intelligence' shield for your entire property, including driveways, side entrances, and gardens. While a doorbell might record a parcel theft, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even approaching your home. Furthermore, scOS is a professional, wired system that cannot be jammed like many wireless doorbells. For the varied and often historic properties in Frome, a single doorbell is insufficient; scOS offers a robust, AI-driven perimeter that proactively stops crime before it happens.

Frome's creative community often has home studios, workshops, or outbuildings filled with valuable equipment. scOS is perfect for protecting these spaces. Our AI automatically detects the boundaries of your entire property, including detached buildings. If someone approaches your studio at night, scOS can trigger an immediate response. Because the system is wired, it provides a much more stable connection for cameras placed further away from the main house than any wireless system could offer.

Frome's proximity to the Mendips means plenty of local wildlife, which can be a nightmare for traditional motion-sensor cameras. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and focus only on 'important activity'—namely, humans and vehicles. This means you won't be bothered by false alarms in the middle of the night just because a fox or a badger walked across your lawn. You only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern, making the system far more reliable for homes in more rural or edge-of-town settings.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a professional security guard. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask natural questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden today?' or 'Did the delivery driver come?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides instant, accurate summaries of activity. For busy Frome residents, this saves time and provides immediate clarity, turning raw data into useful, conversational intelligence.
