Standard CCTV is a passive recording tool; it captures footage of a crime for you to watch after the damage is done. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that actively prevents crime. The heart of our system is MotionX, an AI engine that understands 'important activity.' Unlike traditional systems that trigger alerts for every passing cat or swaying branch in your garden, MotionX ignores environmental noise and focuses on human behaviour. It doesn't need 'tripwires' or 'zones' because it automatically learns your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lighting and AI voice deterrents, stopping criminals in their tracks before they can even attempt a break-in.

Yes, scOS is designed to be compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras. If you already have a system from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can likely take over the feed and apply our advanced AI. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will evaluate your existing setup. By integrating your current cameras into the scOS ecosystem, you gain access to MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing to replace all your hardware. This makes scOS a cost-effective way to upgrade your Marsh Gibbon home from passive recording to active AI protection.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your daily habits and mimic them when you're away, making your home look occupied to any observer. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity, such as someone loitering or attempting to hide their face. Finally, there is Active Intervention. If the system detects a genuine threat, it triggers an escalating response: lights flash on and external IoT speakers deliver authoritative AI voice warnings. By engaging the intruder at the boundary of your property, scOS removes the opportunity for a quiet break-in and forces the criminal to move on.

We take privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike many smart home brands, we are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. Your video is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and then backed up to our secure cloud. You have total control over your footage, which is stored for up to 14 days and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our app. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure your home's security data remains under the protection of British privacy laws.

A video doorbell only tells you when someone is already at your door, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. It monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence, and uses AI to identify threats long before they reach your house. While a doorbell is a reactive notification tool, scOS is a proactive deterrent system that uses light and sound to stop intruders. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections, making it far more reliable and secure than battery-powered Wi-Fi doorbells which can be easily jammed or bypassed by tech-savvy criminals.

Marsh Gibbon is home to many beautiful period properties, and we understand the importance of maintaining their character. Our professional UK installers are experts at 'invisible' installations, ensuring that cabling is hidden and hardware is placed as discreetly as possible. Because scOS works with a wide range of camera brands, we can select compact, low-profile units that blend into traditional brickwork or timber frames. The 'brains' of the system—the Intelligence Hub—is tucked away inside your home, meaning you get cutting-edge AI protection without turning your historic home into a modern eyesore.

For residents who commute to Bicester, Aylesbury, or London, scOS offers unparalleled peace of mind. Our Presence Simulation feature is specifically designed for this lifestyle; it doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer, but mimics real human activity patterns inside your home. You can also use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to check in on your property. You can literally ask, 'Has anyone been to the side gate today?' and get a natural language answer. This allows you to stay connected to your home's security no matter how far away your workday takes you.

Yes, scOS includes advanced DVLA-linked vehicle recognition. In a village like Marsh Gibbon, where unusual vehicles can stand out, our system automatically logs the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify potential 'cloned' plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. This information is invaluable for providing Thames Valley Police with high-quality evidence should an incident occur. It also allows the system to recognise your own cars, ensuring that you don't trigger your own deterrents when you arrive home from work.
