Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian that intervenes before a break-in occurs. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core difference—it doesn't just see 'motion' like spiders or wind-blown trees; it understands 'activity.' It recognises a person's behaviour, whether they are walking normally or trying to conceal themselves, with zero false alarms. While your old system might send you a notification for a passing cat, scOS ignores the noise and only acts when a genuine threat is detected on your Marlborough property. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard who never sleeps.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. If you have a wired IP system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our scOS Director AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of proactive protection and DVLA vehicle recognition without needing to replace every piece of hardware you’ve already invested in for your Marlborough home.

We use a three-layer 'Escalating Response' strategy. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your internal lighting patterns to make your home look occupied even when you're out for dinner on the High Street or away for the weekend. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no manual zones required. Finally, if a threat persists, scOS triggers Active Intervention. This isn't just a notification; it’s instant illumination from external lights and authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By the time a criminal reaches your door, they’ve already been spotted, identified, and warned off by an intelligent system.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then escalated to our secure UK data centres for cloud features. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe that to feel truly secure in Marlborough, you need to know that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden. It uses DVLA vehicle recognition to spot suspicious cars and can detect covered faces before they even reach your house. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the intruder from ever stepping onto your porch in the first place.

Marlborough's proximity to the M4 makes it an attractive target for 'commuter criminals' who look for high-value homes with easy escape routes. scOS is specifically designed to counter this. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition checks registrations against the national database, flagging cloned plates or vehicles that have been loitering in the area. By identifying these threats before they even park, scOS gives you a level of protection that standard alarms simply cannot match, ensuring your home isn't just another stop on a criminal's route.

Presence Simulation is one of our most powerful features for Marlborough residents who travel. Unlike simple timers, scOS learns your actual habits—when you turn lights on in the kitchen or move between rooms. When you're away, it replicates these patterns perfectly, making your home look genuinely lived-in. To an observer on the street, it appears you are home as usual, which is the single most effective way to deter burglars from even considering your property as a target.

Wiltshire Police do an excellent job, but rural and market town response times can vary. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing the immediate intervention that a physical police presence cannot always guarantee. By using voice deterrents and escalating light responses, scOS often scares off intruders before they even attempt a break-in. Furthermore, the high-quality, AI-filtered footage and vehicle recognition data provide Wiltshire Police with actionable evidence, significantly increasing the chances of a successful investigation should an incident occur.
