In Girton, where crime rates are exceptionally low, a standard CCTV system is often seen as unnecessary. However, scOS is not just CCTV; it's a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—like a person lurking in your garden—while ignoring false alarms like cats or wind-blown debris. Unlike traditional systems, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. The moment an intruder is detected, the system can trigger lights and voice deterrents to scare them off. It’s the difference between having a video of a rare break-in and preventing that break-in from ever occurring, ensuring your home remains as safe as the rest of the village.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Girton home, we can likely upgrade them with our Intelligence Hub. This gives your existing 'dumb' cameras the power of MotionX AI, presence simulation, and proactive deterrents. Our professional UK installation team will assess your current setup and ensure everything is integrated correctly. By using wired connections rather than wireless, we ensure your system is robust and cannot be disabled by signal jammers, providing a level of security that matches the high value of properties in the Cambridge area.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your natural internal activity patterns—essential for Girton's professional and academic residents who may travel for work. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: scOS triggers external lights and authoritative voice warnings from IoT speakers to challenge the intruder. This escalating response removes the anonymity burglars rely on, making them feel exposed and forcing them to leave your property before they can cause any damage.

Your data security and privacy are paramount, especially for the tech-savvy residents of Girton. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. The Intelligence Hub processes activity locally for an instant response and only uses the cloud for secure storage and remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed anytime via our secure app. This ensures your home's security data remains private and under your control at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often alerts you too late. scOS is a proactive, whole-property security system. It uses AI to monitor your entire boundary, detecting intruders the moment they step onto your land. While a doorbell might show you someone at your door, scOS stops them from getting there in the first place with escalating voice deterrents and lights. For residents in Girton with larger properties and gardens, scOS provides the comprehensive, proactive protection that a simple doorbell camera just can't offer.

Girton's low crime rate can sometimes lead to complacency, but high-value homes are always a target. scOS is designed to be discreet and professional. Our UK-based installation team ensures that all cameras and IoT speakers are placed strategically to provide maximum protection without being an eyesore. The system is 'set and forget,' meaning it works silently in the background, only alerting you when a genuine threat is detected. This allows you to enjoy the peace and quiet of Girton while knowing your home is protected by the most advanced AI security available.

For the academic and professional community in Girton, scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. You can interact with your system using the scOS Director, our conversational AI. You can ask natural questions like 'Was there any suspicious activity last night?' or 'When did the delivery driver arrive?' and get instant, accurate answers. This makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation. You don't need to spend hours scrolling through footage; the AI does the hard work for you, providing peace of mind with minimal effort.

scOS features Person Recognition, which can distinguish between family members, regular visitors, and strangers based on their behaviour and patterns. It also includes Covered Face Detection, which specifically flags anyone wearing a mask, balaclava, or hood to hide their identity. If a suspicious person is detected on your property, scOS can immediately alert you and initiate its escalating deterrents, ensuring that even the most determined intruders are challenged and driven away, even in a low-crime area like Girton.
