Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Great Dunmow
Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage, which is often only useful after a crime has been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to detect 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard systems that rely on motion masks and are prone to false alarms from animals or weather, MotionX is trained to recognise human figures and behaviour. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it takes action with automatic lights and voice deterrents to stop intruders before they can enter your home. It’s like having a digital security guard for your Great Dunmow property that never sleeps.
Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can integrate with most existing wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink. During our professional installation, our UK-based engineers will check your current setup to ensure it's compatible with our AI Intelligence Hub. By connecting your existing cameras to scOS, you can upgrade your home with MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing to replace all your hardware. This is a cost-effective way to bring the latest AI security technology to your home in Essex.
scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy to protect your home. First, Presence Simulation mimics your normal activity patterns to make your home look occupied when you're away. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious activity and 'covered faces' (like hoods or masks) with zero false alarms. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, the system triggers Active Intervention, which includes automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These warnings become more urgent if the intruder doesn't leave, effectively deterring them before they can cause any harm. This combination of appearing occupied and responding instantly to threats makes your property a very difficult target for criminals.
Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is 100% UK-based, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles initial detection locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for more complex analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures your data stays in the UK and is protected by the highest privacy standards.
A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property boundary, detecting threats before they even reach your house. Unlike wireless doorbells, which can be easily jammed, scOS uses reliable wired connections. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents, scOS is designed to prevent crime from happening, whereas a doorbell is primarily for seeing who is at the door. For homes in Great Dunmow, which may have larger gardens or multiple entry points, scOS offers much more robust security.
Great Dunmow’s proximity to Stansted Airport and the M11 can unfortunately make it a target for transient vehicle crime. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration plates of any vehicle entering your property. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unknown registration is detected, the system can alert you instantly. This is a powerful tool for protecting your vehicles and identifying suspicious activity in the area, providing a level of security that standard systems simply can't match.
Great Dunmow is a historic market town, and we understand the importance of maintaining your home's character. Our professional UK installation team is experienced in working with a variety of property types, including historic and listed buildings. We ensure that all camera and speaker installations are as discreet as possible, with all wiring neatly hidden. We'll work with you to find the best locations for the hardware that provide maximum security while minimising the visual impact on your home's exterior.
Our professional UK installation team can typically have your scOS system fully installed and calibrated in 4 to 6 hours. We handle everything, from setting up the Intelligence Hub to installing the external IoT speakers and integrating your cameras. We'll also show you how to use the scOS Director to manage your security with simple, natural language. By the time we leave, your Great Dunmow home will be protected by the most advanced AI security system available, and you'll have the peace of mind that comes with it.
