Traditional CCTV is a passive system; it records a crime as it happens, but it doesn't do anything to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime. The heart of our system is MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just any movement. This means it can distinguish between a person and a pet or a swaying branch, resulting in zero false alarms. Unlike standard CCTV, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. When a threat is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers and automatic lighting to challenge the intruder, providing an active layer of protection that a simple recording device cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing cameras to see if they can be integrated into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your current 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI-driven security network. We always recommend wired systems over wireless for Newbold Verdon homes, as they are more reliable and cannot be disabled by the Wi-Fi jammers that are increasingly used by modern burglars.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deter criminals automatically. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which learns your home's activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied—this is especially useful for residents who may be out for the day or away on holiday. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face or shape. The final layer is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates high-intensity lighting. This escalating response is designed to unnerve intruders and force them to leave before they can cause any damage.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles the AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for secure storage and remote access. Your data belongs to you, and we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks, giving you total control and peace of mind, no matter where you are.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door. scOS is a comprehensive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS uses MotionX to detect an intruder the moment they enter your property, long before they reach the door. Furthermore, scOS doesn't require you to be available to respond to an alert; it handles the intervention automatically using external IoT speakers and lighting. For Newbold Verdon residents, scOS provides a much higher level of security that proactively stops crime rather than just recording it.

In a close-knit community like Newbold Verdon, the impact of a single break-in is felt by everyone. scOS is specifically designed to provide a robust layer of defence that can protect your home and contribute to the overall safety of the village. Our MotionX technology is hyper-vigilant, and our escalating response protocols are designed to provide an immediate deterrent that can stop a crime before it affects you or your neighbours. By proactively challenging intruders the moment they step onto your property, scOS provides a level of security that is essential for homes in any community.

Vehicle-related crime is a concern in many areas. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the number plates of any vehicle entering your driveway. It checks these against the national database to identify cloned plates or vehicles that don't match their registered description. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This provides an essential layer of protection, helping to identify potential threats before they even step out of their car and onto your property.

We understand that Newbold Verdon has a variety of property types, from traditional homes to more modern developments. Our professional UK installation team is trained to install the system discreetly and efficiently, typically completing the job in 4-6 hours. We use high-quality, wired connections for maximum reliability and route all cables professionally to ensure the aesthetic of your home is maintained. The Intelligence Hub is compact and can be tucked away, while the external IoT speakers are positioned to be effective without being intrusive. We ensure your home is protected by the latest AI technology without compromising its appearance.
