Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with footage to show the West Mercia Police after the damage is done. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or shadows, scOS works out of the box. It ignores spiders, wind, and animals, focusing solely on human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping intruders before they even reach your door.

Absolutely. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. By layering scOS over your existing hardware, you gain access to our advanced AI features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation without needing to replace every camera on your Gobowen property.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious behaviour and recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to cover their faces. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and instant illumination. This escalating response is designed to make the intruder feel watched and exposed, forcing them to retreat.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible from anywhere via our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary automatically. It doesn't just show you a package being stolen; it prevents the thief from stepping onto your driveway in the first place through proactive voice deterrents and presence simulation. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a digital security guard.

Gobowen’s role as a transport hub means there is a lot of legitimate foot traffic near the railway station. Traditional motion detection would be constantly triggered, but scOS uses MotionX technology to filter out this 'noise.' It ignores people walking past on the pavement and only focuses on 'important activity' that occurs within your property boundaries, ensuring you aren't bothered by constant false alerts from the village bustle.

Yes. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is particularly useful for monitoring vehicles in the village. The system can identify cars, check their registrations against the national database, and alert you to any that are uninsured, untaxed, or have cloned plates. This helps you identify suspicious vehicles that may be scouting residential streets near the station.

scOS uses Person Recognition based on behaviour and activity patterns. It learns the normal movements of your household and can distinguish between a family member returning home and a stranger loitering near your boundary. This intelligence allows the system to be more precise with its alerts, ensuring you are only notified when a genuine threat is detected.
