Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool; it only provides evidence after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Using our MotionX technology, scOS identifies 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movement—while ignoring false alarms like pets or wind. Because scOS automatically detects your property boundaries, it can take immediate action, such as turning on lights or issuing voice warnings, the moment someone steps onto your land. It’s about stopping the crime before it happens, not just watching it on playback.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation (which takes 4-6 hours), our engineers will connect your existing cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub 'upgrades' your current hardware with our advanced AI capabilities, providing you with proactive protection without the need for a complete system replacement.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First, Presence Simulation mimics your household's activity patterns while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, MotionX AI detects intruders even if they are masked or trying to hide their shape. Third, the system uses active intervention: if someone crosses your boundary, scOS triggers external lights and delivers authoritative voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to deter intruders the moment they step onto your property, long before they reach your door.

Your data security is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, and only critical events are sent to our secure cloud. We never sell your data, and you have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you.

A video doorbell is reactive and only monitors your front door. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your door, scOS detects them the moment they enter your property and uses active deterrents like lights and voice warnings to stop them from ever reaching your house. It’s a complete security solution, not just a doorbell camera.

Nether Heyford's proximity to the M1 and A45 makes it accessible for transit-related crime. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the number plates of cars entering your property against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or an unrecognised car pulls into your drive, scOS identifies the anomaly and can alert you immediately, providing an extra layer of security against opportunistic vehicle theft.

Nether Heyford is famous for its large village green, and many homes have expansive gardens. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property boundaries, no matter how large or complex they are. This ensures that your entire garden is protected, and you'll only receive alerts when someone genuinely enters your private land, rather than just walking past on the public path.

For residents who commute via the M1 or A45, scOS offers 'scOS Director'—a conversational AI. You can ask, 'Is everything okay at home?' or 'Has the gardener been?' and get a natural language response. Combined with Presence Simulation, your home will look and act as if you're there, even when you're miles away at work, providing total peace of mind.
