Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records your home being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is an active guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which doesn't just see movement—it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for spiders, wind, or shadows, MotionX identifies 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your boundary. Because scOS understands what it sees, it can intervene automatically. While your old system would just record an intruder, scOS detects them at the property line, illuminates them with smart lighting, and delivers a voice warning via external speakers. It’s the difference between having a camera and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. We can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. Our system works with almost all professional-grade wired IP cameras, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating critical data to our UK-based cloud for advanced analysis. This means you don't need to rip out your current investment to benefit from proactive AI protection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and automated deterrents.

scOS uses a three-layered proactive approach to stop crime before it happens. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're away on holiday or at work. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, there is Active Intervention. When an intruder crosses your auto-detected property boundary, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination to let the intruder know they've been spotted, followed by clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. By intervening at the boundary, scOS prevents the break-in from ever occurring.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. All your video data is processed through our Intelligence Hub located on your property for immediate local response, with critical events escalated to our secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. You can access this footage securely from anywhere in the world, knowing that your home's intelligence is handled entirely within British jurisdiction.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a laggy motion sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell only sees a narrow sliver of your front porch, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. Doorbell cameras are often wireless and can be easily defeated by WiFi jammers; scOS uses secure, wired connections that are immune to jamming. Furthermore, doorbells don't deter—they just record. scOS actively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a criminal before they even reach your door, providing a level of security a doorbell simply cannot match.

Absolutely. Greenham’s proximity to the A339 and the Business Park means a variety of vehicles pass through the area daily. Our AI features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks number plates against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or one that doesn't match its registered description enters your property, scOS can flag this as suspicious activity immediately. This is particularly useful for identifying 'scouting' vehicles that may be monitoring homes in the village before an attempted theft.

We understand that many Greenham residents commute or spend time walking on the Common. Our Presence Simulation is designed for this lifestyle. It doesn't just turn lights on a timer; it simulates human activity patterns inside your home. It can mimic the way you move from room to room, making it appear to any observer outside that the house is naturally occupied. This is the most effective way to deter opportunistic burglars who are looking for empty homes during the day or evening.

Yes. While we work with Thames Valley Police data to understand local trends, scOS is a private, proactive system. It is designed to stop the crime so you don't have to rely solely on police response times. By providing clear, 24/7 recording and AI-backed evidence of any boundary breaches, you have high-quality data to provide to the police should an incident occur. Our UK-based support team is also on hand to help you navigate your data if you ever need to make a report.
