Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard systems that trigger for every passing cat or swaying Cotswold shrub, scOS ignores environmental noise and focuses exclusively on human threats. When a person is detected on your property in Hailey, the system takes immediate action—activating lights and delivering voice warnings through external speakers. It doesn't just provide evidence for the Thames Valley Police; it actively prevents the crime from happening in the first place, giving you a level of protection that standard recording simply cannot offer.

Yes, scOS is designed to be compatible with the majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras. If your Hailey home already has a system from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, we can typically integrate those cameras into our Intelligence Hub. This 'brand-agnostic' approach allows you to upgrade to our advanced AI features—like presence simulation and automated voice deterrents—without the expense of replacing all your existing hardware. During our professional installation, we will assess your current setup to ensure it provides the necessary coverage and resolution to take full advantage of our proactive security features.

scOS deters criminals through a sophisticated three-layer strategy. The first layer is 'Presence Simulation,' which uses AI to mimic your internal lighting and activity patterns, making your home look occupied even when you're away in Witney or further afield. If a criminal is undeterred and enters your property, our MotionX AI detects them instantly, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide. The final layer is 'Active Intervention,' where the system triggers escalating responses, including bright lights and clear voice warnings from IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the intruder that they are being monitored by a live system, which is usually enough to make them flee.

We take data privacy extremely seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and only escalated to our secure UK data centres when necessary. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have complete ownership and control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. This local-plus-cloud approach ensures that your security system is both incredibly fast and highly secure, providing you with peace of mind that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often easily bypassed or ignored by experienced criminals. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and identifying threats before they even reach your door. While a doorbell might show you a package being taken, scOS is designed to stop the person from entering your driveway in the first place. Furthermore, scOS is a hard-wired system, making it immune to the WiFi jamming techniques that can render wireless doorbells useless. It’s a professional-grade security solution compared to the consumer-grade convenience of a doorbell.

Hailey’s low crime rate is a blessing, but it can lead to a false sense of security that professional burglars often exploit. Opportunistic thieves frequently target affluent villages on the edge of the Cotswolds, assuming residents have lower levels of protection. scOS ensures you don't become a statistic by maintaining a 'constant' presence. Our Presence Simulation is particularly effective here, as it ensures your home never looks like an easy, empty target. By staying proactive rather than complacent, you protect your property against the rare but impactful incidents that can occur even in the safest areas.

We understand that Hailey residents take pride in the appearance of their homes and the village's character. Our scOS installation is handled by UK professionals who specialise in discreet, clean setups. We use wired connections for maximum reliability, but we ensure that cabling is hidden and cameras are positioned to be effective without being eyesores. The system is designed to blend into your home's exterior, providing high-tech protection that respects the traditional Cotswold-edge aesthetic. We also offer a range of camera styles to suit different architectural types, from modern renovations to historic cottages.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of scOS is the 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI that allows you to check on your home as if you were talking to a security guard. While you're out for dinner in Witney or away on holiday, you can simply ask, 'Has anyone been in the garden today?' or 'What time did the delivery arrive?' and get an instant response. Combined with our 24/7 recording and secure app access, you can have total visibility of your Hailey property from anywhere in the world, ensuring you're always connected to what matters most.
