Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it only shows you what happened after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to understand activity in real-time. MotionX is designed to ignore false alarms like animals or weather, focusing only on 'important activity' like people and vehicles. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it acts. It uses automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter intruders before they can enter your home. It’s a complete, AI-driven security solution that actively works to prevent crime, rather than just documenting it.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most existing wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our Intelligence Hub can upgrade your current 'dumb' cameras into a smart, proactive system with advanced AI features like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing setup to ensure it’s fully integrated with scOS. This allows Hartley Wintney homeowners to enhance their security with the latest AI technology without needing to replace their entire existing camera infrastructure.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deter criminals. It starts with Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your home's normal activity patterns, making it look occupied even when you're away. If an intruder approaches, our MotionX technology identifies them instantly, even if they are disguised. This triggers Active Intervention: instant lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These warnings inform the intruder they have been detected and are being monitored, removing their anonymity and making the risk of continuing too high. By intervening early, scOS stops crime before it can even begin.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most tasks locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. With scOS, your home security data is kept private, secure, and entirely under your control.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent a burglar from even stepping onto your driveway. We use professional-grade, wired cameras that are more reliable than Wi-Fi doorbells and cannot be easily jammed. With features like property boundary detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents, scOS provides a much higher level of security, ensuring your whole property is protected, not just the entrance.

In an affluent village like Hartley Wintney, high-value properties and vehicles can be specifically targeted by organised criminals. While the local crime rate is lower than the national average, the impact of a targeted burglary can be devastating. scOS is designed to provide a high-level deterrent that matches the value of your home. Our DVLA vehicle recognition can identify suspicious cars casing the area, and our proactive voice warnings can stop a theft before it happens. By investing in scOS, you are ensuring that your home remains a difficult target, maintaining the peace and security of your property.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is ideal for monitoring the activity on your property and the surrounding street. The system reads number plates and checks them against the DVLA database to identify suspicious or 'cloned' plates. This is a powerful tool for spotting potential 'scouts' who may be casing your home or the neighbourhood. You can easily review vehicle activity through the scOS app or ask our conversational AI, scOS Director, for a summary of vehicles seen on your driveway, giving you complete visibility and peace of mind.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your home security simple and intuitive. Instead of searching through hours of footage, you can ask the Director natural language questions like, 'Was there anyone on the property while I was out?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' The Director will analyse the data and provide an instant, accurate response. This allows Hartley Wintney residents to stay informed about their home's security in a way that is both fast and easy, providing a modern solution for busy lifestyles.
