Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happens so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our proprietary MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human presence—the moment someone crosses your property boundary. It doesn't require you to set up complex motion masks because the AI automatically understands your property lines. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lighting and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. It’s designed to stop a crime in Lower Shiplake before it happens, rather than just providing a video of the event.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent system capable of proactive intervention. We will assess your current setup to ensure the cameras are positioned correctly for our AI to provide the best possible protection, allowing you to upgrade to world-class AI security while leveraging your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity and mimics it when you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies a person the moment they cross your property line, even if they are wearing a mask or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates lights to illuminate the intruder. This immediate, intelligent response is far more effective at deterring criminals than a passive camera or a traditional alarm that only sounds after a break-in.

We take your privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the processing locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for advanced AI analysis and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recorded footage, which is stored for up to two weeks, ensuring your home is secure and your data remains private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS provides comprehensive, proactive intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your driveway, gardens, and all entry points, detecting threats long before they reach your door. While a doorbell might send a notification to your phone while someone is already there, scOS uses AI to detect the approach and intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop the crime from happening. For Lower Shiplake residents, scOS offers a complete security perimeter that a doorbell simply cannot match.

Lower Shiplake is home to many beautiful riverside properties, which can be vulnerable to access from the water. scOS is ideal for these homes because our MotionX AI can monitor your entire boundary, including the riverfront. Unlike traditional systems that might be triggered by reflections on the water or passing boats, MotionX focuses only on human activity on your property. This ensures that any unauthorised access from the Thames is detected and deterred immediately with voice and light warnings, providing 360-degree protection for your home.

Lower Shiplake is an affluent area, and high-value assets are often a target for organised theft. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies cars on your driveway and can alert you to any unauthorised or suspicious vehicles. The system also uses Activity Pattern Recognition to learn what is 'normal' for your home. If a vehicle or person exhibits unusual behaviour—such as scouting your property multiple times—scOS can alert you to the anomaly. This proactive intelligence helps you stay one step ahead of professional criminals who target high-value homes.

Thames Valley Police cover a large area, and in quiet villages like Lower Shiplake, response times can vary. scOS acts as your immediate first line of defence. By proactively deterring intruders with voice and light warnings, the system often stops a crime before the police even need to be called. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-definition, 24/7 recorded evidence and detailed AI logs that are invaluable for police investigations. You can use scOS Director to quickly find and share relevant footage, helping the authorities identify and catch offenders more efficiently.
