Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records footage for you to watch after a crime has already happened. In an affluent village like New Alresford, where Hampshire Constabulary resources are often focused on larger urban areas, waiting for a post-incident investigation isn't enough. scOS is proactive. It uses MotionX AI to detect 'important activity'—specifically identifying people and vehicles while ignoring false triggers like wind, rain, or local wildlife. It doesn't require you to set up complex motion masks; it automatically understands your property boundaries. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. When a threat is detected, it uses external IoT speakers and lighting to warn the intruder that they are being monitored, often stopping a crime before it even begins. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you already have wired IP cameras installed—such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink—our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with them. This is a great option for New Alresford residents who want to upgrade their security without the cost of a full hardware replacement. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your existing cameras and link them to the scOS Hub. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition, covered face detection, and proactive voice deterrents. You get all the benefits of our cutting-edge AI while making the most of your previous investments.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your daily routines and simulates them when you're away, making your home look occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their faces with hoods or masks. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and activates bright lighting. This immediate response tells the criminal that the house is not an easy target and that they have been spotted by an active system. This proactive deterrence is the most effective way to prevent break-ins before they happen.

Your privacy and data security are our top priorities. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI processing locally on your property. This means your data stays private and the system responds instantly. Only when necessary for remote access or advanced analysis is data escalated to our secure cloud. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, ensuring that your home's intelligence remains strictly between you and scOS.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. In New Alresford, where properties often have side access, larger gardens, or multiple entry points, a doorbell is simply insufficient. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a thief's back as they walk away with a parcel, scOS is designed to stop them from ever reaching your door. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition to identify suspicious cars and proactive voice warnings, scOS offers a level of professional security that a doorbell cannot match. It’s a comprehensive security solution, not just a notification on your phone.

New Alresford is a very safe village, but that can lead to a false sense of security. Criminals often target low-crime, affluent areas because they expect residents to have fewer security measures in place and higher-value assets. With Hampshire Constabulary covering a large area, a proactive system like scOS is essential. It ensures that your home isn't just 'waiting for help' but is actively defending itself. By making your property a difficult and high-risk target, you significantly reduce the likelihood of being singled out by opportunistic thieves.

New Alresford is home to many high-value properties and vehicles. scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition, which identifies vehicles entering your driveway or lingering nearby. It checks registrations against the DVLA database to spot cloned plates or suspicious vehicles. This is a powerful tool for protecting your property and provides Hampshire Constabulary with high-quality data if an incident occurs. Our system is designed to protect your assets without being obtrusive, maintaining the aesthetic of your home.

New Alresford’s traditional architecture is a key part of its charm. Our professional UK installers are experts at discreetly fitting the scOS system. We use wired connections for maximum reliability, but we ensure all cabling is hidden and the hardware is as unobtrusive as possible. The Intelligence Hub itself is a compact unit that sits inside your home. You get world-class AI protection without turning your property into a fortress, maintaining the village character of your New Alresford home while significantly upgrading its security.
