Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. The main difference is our MotionX technology, which uses AI to identify 'important activity' while ignoring false alarms like animals or wind on the Somerset Levels. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries without needing manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. It’s the difference between having a video of a burglary and preventing the burglary from ever occurring.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. If you already have a system in Middlezoy, our professional UK installers can integrate your existing cameras into our Intelligence Hub. This upgrades your current setup with advanced AI features like person recognition and escalating deterrents. Our installation takes 4-6 hours, and we focus on wired connections to ensure your security cannot be compromised by WiFi jammers, providing a much more reliable solution than standard wireless cameras.

scOS deters criminals using three layers of protection. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's activity patterns to make it look occupied when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, scOS triggers instant lights and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive response makes intruders feel immediately exposed, forcing them to abandon their plans before they can cause any damage to your home.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data. scOS uses a 'Local + Cloud' processing model, where the Intelligence Hub handles immediate AI tasks locally for speed and privacy, while the cloud provides secure 24/7 recording access. You have total control over your data, which is stored for up to two weeks. You can trust that your home's security data is handled with the highest level of British privacy protection.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might alert you to a visitor, scOS monitors your entire boundary and stops intruders before they even reach the door. With advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS offers far superior protection. In a rural village like Middlezoy, where property crime is low but vigilance is key, scOS provides the comprehensive security that a simple doorbell cannot.

Middlezoy is a peaceful village, but its rural nature can mean longer police response times. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence. By using escalating deterrents—lights and voice warnings—the system often scares off intruders before they even attempt a break-in. This immediate, automated response is crucial in rural areas, as it stops the crime in its tracks without you having to wait for external help to arrive. It provides peace of mind that your home is actively defending itself 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is ideal for protecting the outbuildings, barns, and workshops common in Middlezoy. Our AI property boundary detection can be extended to cover your entire yard. MotionX is smart enough to ignore livestock or pets while remaining hyper-vigilant for human intruders. If someone approaches your workshop at night, scOS will detect them and trigger a deterrent response immediately, ensuring your valuable equipment and property are always protected.
