Traditional CCTV is passive; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses AI to intervene. Our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—such as a person approaching your home—while ignoring false alarms like animals or wind. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual 'zones.' When a threat is detected, scOS responds instantly with automated lighting and voice deterrents to drive the intruder away. It’s the difference between watching a burglary on your phone and preventing it from ever happening.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, we connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brains' of the system upgrades your current hardware with advanced AI features like person recognition and covered face detection. Our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure optimal performance, allowing you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need for a completely new camera installation in your Lechlade home.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's normal activity patterns when you're away, making it look occupied. Second is our MotionX AI, which accurately detects intruders even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers immediate lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive response makes it clear to the criminal that they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

Privacy is a core value at 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 where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most AI tasks locally on your property. Data is only escalated to our secure UK cloud when a potential threat is detected. You have full ownership of your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to 14 days. We never sell your data, ensuring your home life remains private.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often a reactive device—it tells you someone was there after they've already arrived. scOS provides comprehensive protection for your entire property, including gardens and driveways. While doorbells can be easily disabled with WiFi jammers, scOS uses secure wired connections. Most importantly, scOS is proactive; it uses AI to detect and deter intruders before they even reach your door. It’s a professional-grade security system that offers significantly more protection than a simple consumer-grade doorbell.

Lechlade is a beautiful and affluent Cotswold town, which unfortunately makes it a target for opportunistic thieves, especially during the busy tourist season. While the crime rate is lower than the national average, property crime is a real concern. scOS is designed to provide a high-level deterrent that makes your home a 'hard target.' Our system provides 24/7 vigilance, ensuring that your home remains secure whether you're enjoying a walk by the Thames or away on holiday, giving you true peace of mind.

We understand that Lechlade has many beautiful Cotswold stone properties. Our professional installers are highly experienced in working with historic and aesthetic buildings, ensuring that all wiring is discreet and the installation is respectful of your home's character. Because scOS is brand-agnostic, we can often use smaller, more discreet cameras that provide powerful AI protection without being an eyesore. The Intelligence Hub itself is compact and can be hidden away, ensuring your home's Cotswold charm is preserved while its security is modernised.

Lechlade's popularity with visitors can mean more unfamiliar people and vehicles in the area. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every registration plate that enters your property. The system can distinguish between your family's cars and unknown vehicles, and even check registrations against the DVLA database to flag suspicious vehicles. You can use scOS Director, our conversational AI, to ask, 'What cars have been on the driveway today?' This gives you total oversight of who is approaching your home, even during the busiest tourist weekends.
