Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Mitcheldean
Standard CCTV is passive; it records crime but rarely prevents it. scOS is an active intelligence system. Most cameras use basic motion detection that triggers for every bird or falling leaf, leading to 'notification fatigue.' Our MotionX technology is different; it ignores environmental distractions and focuses only on human activity and vehicles. When a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS takes action—triggering lights and voice deterrents from external speakers to stop the intruder before they can cause damage. It’s like having a digital security guard watching your Mitcheldean home 24/7.
scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink). If you already have a system installed at your Mitcheldean property, we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'brain' upgrade transforms your existing cameras into an AI-powered proactive system. During our single-day professional installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and ensure everything is optimised for our MotionX detection and escalating response protocols.
We use a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your habits and mimics them when you're out, making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies intruders even if they try to hide their shape or cover their faces. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your boundary, the system responds with instant illumination and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response is designed to startle and deter criminals, making them realise the property is actively protected.
We take data security seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your personal footage remains private and under your control. Unlike other brands, we never sell your data. Your Intelligence Hub processes most information locally for speed, only using the cloud for secure storage and remote access, giving you the best of both worlds: high-speed AI and secure, anywhere-access to your 24/7 recordings.
A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive—telling you someone was there after the fact. scOS protects your entire property. It uses AI to automatically detect your property boundaries, providing 360-degree protection. While a doorbell might show you a parcel being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director, it offers a comprehensive level of intelligence that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.
Living near the Forest of Dean means plenty of wildlife, from deer to boar. Traditional security systems would be constantly triggered by these animals. However, scOS uses MotionX technology, which is specifically trained to distinguish between animals and humans. It ignores the movement of wildlife, pets, and even wind-blown foliage, ensuring that when you get an alert in Mitcheldean, it’s for something that actually matters. This eliminates false alarms while maintaining high-level security.
Mitcheldean has a property crime rate of 23.24 per 1,000 residents, which is lower than the national average but still a significant concern for homeowners. scOS helps lower this risk by making your home a 'hard target.' Our escalating response system and presence simulation are specifically designed to deter the kind of opportunistic theft that can occur in rural villages. By stopping intruders at the boundary, we prevent the distress and cost associated with break-ins before they happen.
Yes, scOS includes DVLA vehicle recognition as standard. This is particularly useful in Mitcheldean for monitoring unfamiliar vehicles on your driveway or near your property. The system checks registrations against the DVLA database and can alert you to suspicious vehicles or those with cloned plates. All vehicle activity is logged, providing clear evidence that can be shared with Gloucestershire Constabulary if needed, helping to protect not just your home but the wider village community.
