Most CCTV systems are passive; they record crime but do nothing to stop it. In a village like Hanley Swan, where police may be several miles away, you need a system that acts immediately. scOS is proactive. Using our MotionX technology, it identifies 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring animals, wind, and shadows. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external speakers. This stops the intruder in their tracks before they can even attempt a break-in. It’s not just recording; it’s actively defending your home 24/7 with zero false alarms.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a system installed at your Hanley Swan property, our Intelligence Hub can often take over those cameras and give them 'AI brains.' During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK engineers will assess your existing setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be blocked by the Wi-Fi jammers that many modern burglars now use. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without needing to replace all your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity and simulates it when you're away, making the house look occupied to anyone watching. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people even if they are wearing masks or hoods, ensuring no threat goes unnoticed. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings. This immediate, intelligent response tells the criminal they have been spotted by an active system, which is far more effective than a simple alarm or a passive camera.

Privacy is central to scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for secure storage and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely via our app from anywhere, ensuring your Hanley Swan home remains your private sanctuary.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. In a village like Hanley Swan, where properties often have large gardens or multiple entry points, a doorbell is insufficient. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, detecting threats the moment they step onto your land, long before they reach the door. While a doorbell tells you someone is there, scOS is designed to stop them from being there in the first place. Our professional wired cameras also provide 24/7 recording and much higher reliability than battery-powered doorbells, which can be easily stolen or jammed.

We understand that Hanley Swan is a beautiful village and residents value the look of their homes. Our professional UK installation is designed to be as discreet as possible. We use high-quality, compact cameras and ensure all cabling is hidden or neatly installed. Because scOS works with many different camera brands, we can help you choose hardware that blends in with your property’s architecture. The Intelligence Hub itself is a small, silent device that stays out of sight, providing powerful protection without compromising your home's aesthetic.

Hanley Swan’s rural setting means you likely have plenty of local wildlife. Traditional security systems often plague owners with false alarms from foxes, deer, or even large birds. scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to recognise human movement and ignore animals. This means you won't be bothered by constant notifications every time a fox walks across your lawn. The system only alerts you when there is 'important activity'—a genuine human threat—giving you peace of mind without the annoyance of false triggers.

For residents with high-value vehicles, scOS offers DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system doesn't just see a car; it checks the registration against the DVLA database to identify the make and model. This allows it to spot suspicious vehicles or cloned plates that might be scouting the area. If an unrecognised vehicle enters your driveway, scOS can alert you immediately and even trigger deterrents if the behaviour is suspicious, providing an essential extra layer of protection for your cars.
