Traditional CCTV systems in Fulbourn are passive; they record what happens but don't stop it. scOS is a proactive 'Home Intelligence' system that uses AI to prevent crime. Our MotionX technology is the key difference—it doesn't just detect motion, it understands 'important activity.' It ignores wind, animals, and shadows, focusing only on human and vehicle presence. Because it understands what it's seeing, scOS can take immediate action, like turning on lights or issuing a voice warning, to deter an intruder before they even reach your house. It's like having a 24/7 security guard for your property.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, we'll integrate our Intelligence Hub with your existing cameras. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive security network. We recommend wired systems over wireless ones because they are more reliable and can't be jammed by criminals. Our engineers will ensure your current setup is fully optimised for our AI technology.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deter criminals. First is Presence Simulation: when you're away from your Fulbourn home, the system mimics your normal lighting and activity patterns to make the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they're wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS can automatically trigger external IoT speakers to give a voice warning and turn on bright security lights. This escalating response is designed to scare off intruders before they can do any damage.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant data centres within the UK. Your Intelligence Hub processes most of the AI locally for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for backup and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, and you can access them anytime through our secure, encrypted app, ensuring your home stays private and protected.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is reactive—it only tells you someone is there once they've already arrived. scOS provides comprehensive boundary protection for your entire property, including gardens and driveways. It uses AI to stop crime before it happens, using proactive deterrents like voice warnings and lights. While a doorbell might capture a video of a break-in, scOS is designed to prevent the break-in from ever occurring. For a village like Fulbourn, where many residents are commuters, this whole-property protection is essential.

Fulbourn's proximity to Cambridge's high-tech hubs means many residents have valuable technology and equipment at home. scOS is designed to protect these assets with advanced features like DVLA Vehicle Recognition and covered face detection. Our system can identify suspicious vehicles and flag individuals who are attempting to hide their identity. By providing a proactive and highly visible deterrent, scOS makes your property a much less attractive target for burglars, protecting your home and your high-tech equipment.

Yes, scOS is incredibly user-friendly. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to ask your system questions in plain English. You can ask things like, 'Was there any activity near the driveway last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive today?' and the AI will give you a clear, written summary of what happened. This means you don't have to spend time scrolling through hours of video footage. It's a simple and effective way to stay informed about what's happening at your home, giving you peace of mind.

One of the biggest problems with traditional security is false alarms from wildlife, which are common in villages like Fulbourn. scOS's MotionX technology is specifically designed to eliminate this. It's trained to ignore non-threatening movement like animals, wind, and shadows, and only alert you to 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle presence. This means you won't be bothered by constant notifications every time a fox or a bird crosses your garden. When scOS alerts you, you know it's something that actually needs your attention.
