Traditional CCTV is a passive system; it records a crime as it happens, but it doesn't do anything to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime. The heart of our system is MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just any movement. This means it can distinguish between a person and a pet or a swaying branch, resulting in zero false alarms. Unlike standard CCTV, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. When a threat is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers and automatic lighting to challenge the intruder, providing an active layer of protection that a simple recording device cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing cameras to see if they can be integrated into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your current 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI-driven security network. We always recommend wired systems over wireless for Gamlingay homes, as they are more reliable and cannot be disabled by the Wi-Fi jammers that are increasingly used by modern burglars.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deter criminals automatically. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which learns your home's activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied—this is especially useful for residents who may be out for the day or away on holiday. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face or shape. The final layer is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates high-intensity lighting. This escalating response is designed to unnerve intruders and force them to leave before they can cause any damage.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles the AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for secure storage and remote access. Your data belongs to you, and we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks, giving you total control and peace of mind, no matter where you are.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door. scOS is a comprehensive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS uses MotionX to detect an intruder the moment they enter your property, long before they reach the door. Furthermore, scOS doesn't require you to be available to respond to an alert; it handles the intervention automatically using external IoT speakers and lighting. For Gamlingay residents, scOS provides a much higher level of security that proactively stops crime rather than just recording it.

Gamlingay’s position on the border of three counties can sometimes lead to slower police response times, making proactive on-site deterrence absolutely essential. scOS is specifically designed to provide an immediate deterrent that can compensate for potential delays in police response. By proactively challenging intruders the moment they step onto your property, scOS provides a robust layer of defence that is essential for homes in rural areas.

Many properties in Gamlingay have large gardens or outbuildings that are vulnerable to theft. scOS’s AI auto-detects your property boundaries, meaning it can protect your entire perimeter, not just the main house. MotionX is specifically tuned to ignore the movement of animals while remaining hyper-vigilant for human activity. If someone approaches a remote workshop or garage at an unusual hour, scOS will detect them and can trigger a voice warning from a nearby IoT speaker, providing a proactive defence for your assets that a standard alarm system simply cannot match.

We understand that Gamlingay has a variety of property types, from traditional homes to more modern developments. Our professional UK installation team is trained to install the system discreetly and efficiently, typically completing the job in 4-6 hours. We use high-quality, wired connections for maximum reliability and route all cables professionally to ensure the aesthetic of your home is maintained. The Intelligence Hub is compact and can be tucked away, while the external IoT speakers are positioned to be effective without being intrusive. We ensure your home is protected by the latest AI technology without compromising its appearance.
