Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records events, often providing little help until after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to detect 'important activity' with 100% accuracy, ignoring false alarms from wind, animals, or shadows. MotionX can recognise people even if they are trying to hide their identity. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automated voice warnings and light responses to drive intruders away, providing a much higher level of protection for your Long Ashton home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Long Ashton property, our professional UK-based installers can usually integrate it into our AI Intelligence Hub. This hub adds advanced AI capabilities to your existing cameras, allowing them to detect threats and trigger deterrents. Our installation process takes about 4 to 6 hours, and we prioritise wired connections over wireless to ensure your system is reliable and cannot be easily jammed by criminals.

scOS uses a three-layered deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your daily activity inside the house—like turning lights on and off—to make it look like someone is home, even when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which accurately identifies any suspicious activity on your property. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates smart lighting. These responses are escalating, meaning they become more intense if the intruder lingers, providing a powerful deterrent that stops crime in its tracks.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Our system uses a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI analysis locally on your property. Data is only sent to our secure cloud when a threat is detected or when you want to access your footage remotely. You have full control over your data, and we never sell it to third parties. Your security and privacy are always protected with scOS.

A video doorbell is a basic tool that only monitors your front door and often has a limited field of view. scOS provides comprehensive, property-wide protection using professional-grade wired cameras. It doesn't just record someone at your door; it proactively identifies threats across your entire property and uses voice and light deterrents to stop them. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even getting near your home. It’s a much more robust and intelligent solution for total home security in Long Ashton.

Long Ashton is a beautiful village, but its proximity to Bristol can make it a target for opportunistic crime. scOS is perfect for this environment because it provides 24/7 proactive monitoring. Our 'Activity Pattern Recognition' learns what is normal for your specific property and will alert you to any unusual behaviour. Whether you're commuting into the city or enjoying the local countryside, scOS gives you the peace of mind that your home is being watched over by an intelligent system that can intervene even if you're not there.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a great feature for monitoring activity around your home. The system can identify and log every vehicle that enters your driveway, checking registrations against the DVLA database. This allows it to flag suspicious vehicles or those with cloned plates. You can even use our conversational AI, 'scOS Director,' to ask questions like 'Has any unknown car been on the drive today?' This gives you an extra layer of awareness and security for your property.

scOS is designed to be very user-friendly. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask it questions like 'Is everything okay at home?' or 'Show me the activity from this morning,' and it will provide you with the information you need. The system is professionally installed in a single day, and we handle all the technical setup, so you can simply enjoy the benefits of a smarter, safer home without any hassle.
