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.

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.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Great Shelford and Stapleford
Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—with zero false alarms. It ignores pets, shadows, and weather, focusing only on genuine risks. When a threat is detected at your Great Shelford or Stapleford home, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to scare off intruders before they can reach your property.
Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your property already has a wired system, we can often integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade to advanced AI features like MotionX and vehicle recognition without replacing your existing hardware. Our professional UK-based installers will assess your setup during the installation process to ensure everything is perfectly optimised for our AI.
scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to learn your daily activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX AI identifies intruders with incredible accuracy, even if they are disguised. Third, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and bright lights to challenge the intruder. This combination of making the home look lived-in and providing an immediate, intelligent response to trespassers is highly effective at preventing crime.
Your 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 never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles the initial AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, while our secure UK cloud is used for more complex tasks and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days.
A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is largely reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and intervening the moment a threat is detected. In affluent areas like Great Shelford and Stapleford, where high-value burglaries can be a concern, having a system that can stop a criminal at the garden fence or driveway is far more effective than a doorbell that only records them once they've reached your front door.
Great Shelford and Stapleford are affluent villages that can attract criminals looking for high-value targets, despite the low overall crime rate. scOS is designed to protect high-value assets with features like DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car entering your property and flags suspicious or cloned plates. Our system ensures that your home is never seen as a 'soft target,' providing a level of proactive intelligence that matches the value of your property and its contents.
For residents who commute via Great Shelford station or work at the nearby Addenbrooke's site, scOS offers ultimate peace of mind. Our Presence Simulation ensures your home looks occupied throughout the day, while the scOS app allows you to check in from anywhere. If the system detects anything unusual, you'll receive an instant notification, and you can even use scOS Director to ask natural language questions about what's happening at home while you're at work.
scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to manage your home security using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Director, was there anyone on the driveway this morning?' or 'Did the gardener come today?' The AI understands your home's normal activity patterns and can provide instant answers, saving you from having to manually review hours of footage. It's like having a digital security guard for your home that you can talk to anytime.
Passive cameras aren't enough. Get AI security that actually prevents crime.
