Standard CCTV is a passive 'digital witness'—it records your property being burgled so you can watch the video later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop the crime before it happens. The key is our MotionX technology. Unlike traditional systems that trigger for every cat or swaying branch, MotionX ignores the noise and only alerts on 'important activity'—specifically human movement. It automatically detects your property boundaries without you needing to draw zones. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with escalating lights and voice warnings to drive the intruder away immediately. It’s the difference between recording a crime and preventing one.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional, wired IP cameras. If your Nailsworth home already has cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can transform them into an intelligent, proactive network. During our professional UK installation (4-6 hours), our engineers will assess your setup. We always recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure your system cannot be jammed, providing a reliable, professional-grade security upgrade that uses your existing infrastructure where possible.

scOS uses a three-tier 'Escalating Response' to stop criminals. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're away. Second, MotionX detection identifies human threats the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoodies. Third, Active Intervention uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and instant lighting. This sequence is designed to startle intruders and convince them they've been spotted by a resident, forcing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all data is stored in secure UK data centres in compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using our secure cloud for advanced AI tasks or remote access. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting intruders the moment they step onto your land. While a doorbell is easily ignored, scOS uses proactive measures like presence simulation and voice deterrents to stop crimes before they reach your door. For a home in Nailsworth, scOS offers professional-grade protection that a simple doorbell cannot match.

Nailsworth’s unique Cotswold topography, with its steep hills and varied property layouts, can be a challenge for traditional security systems. scOS uses automatic property boundary detection that works in 3D space. Our AI learns the specific layout of your land, whether it’s a terraced garden or a sloping driveway, and automatically understands where your property ends. This means you get zero false alarms from people walking on the public path above or below your home, but instant intervention the moment someone steps onto your actual land.

Gloucestershire Constabulary is active, but Nailsworth’s busy town centre and tourist traffic can sometimes mask suspicious activity. scOS features 'Person Recognition,' which learns to distinguish between family members, regular visitors, and strangers based on their behaviour and patterns. This allows the system to ignore the 'normal' bustle of a busy Cotswold town while remaining hyper-vigilant for any unusual or suspicious activity around your specific property. It’s intelligent security that understands your local environment.

Absolutely. scOS features 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your property. If you're out enjoying the local shops or walking in the valleys, you can simply ask, 'Was there any unusual activity today?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' The system will provide a natural language summary of the day's events. It’s like having a digital security guard that you can talk to whenever you need an update, providing total peace of mind while you're out and about.
