Traditional CCTV is a passive tool; it records what happens but doesn't stop it. Most systems also suffer from frequent false alarms, which can be a nuisance in a quiet village like Newton Longville. scOS is different because it is proactive. It uses MotionX AI to focus only on 'important activity'—human movement—while ignoring animals, wind, and shadows. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and uses active intervention, such as lights and voice warnings from external speakers, to deter criminals before they even reach your home. It’s like having a digital security guard protecting your property 24/7.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can be integrated with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and connect it to our Intelligence Hub. This adds our advanced AI capabilities to your existing cameras, giving you features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation without the cost of a full hardware replacement. It’s an efficient way for Newton Longville residents to upgrade their home security to the latest AI standards.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent system. First, 'Presence Simulation' makes your home look occupied when you're away by mimicking your usual internal lighting patterns. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third, the system uses 'Active Intervention.' If a threat is confirmed, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and activates bright security lights. This immediate, intelligent response signals to any intruder that they are being actively monitored, which is usually enough to make them flee before any harm is done.

We take your privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for secure remote access and advanced AI processing. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that your private life in Newton Longville stays private, while your property remains under the best possible protection.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and can be easily disabled by WiFi jammers. scOS provides comprehensive, property-wide protection, monitoring your entire boundary including side gates and gardens. Our system is hardwired, making it immune to the jamming techniques used by modern criminals. While a doorbell is reactive—telling you someone is there—scOS is proactive, designed to stop a criminal before they even get to your door. With scOS Director, you can even ask your system questions like 'Has anyone been near the car on the driveway today?' for a level of intelligence no doorbell can match.

Newton Longville’s proximity to Milton Keynes and Bletchley means it can sometimes be targeted by criminals operating out of the larger urban areas. scOS features DVLA-linked vehicle recognition, which can identify and log the registration plates of vehicles entering your property. It can even flag cloned plates or vehicles that don't belong. This data is invaluable for Thames Valley Police and provides an extra layer of protection against the specific types of vehicle-related crime that can 'spill over' from nearby Milton Keynes.

Newton Longville is a safe village, but its low crime rate can sometimes lead to complacency. Thames Valley Police does an excellent job, but they have a large and diverse area to cover. scOS acts as a proactive first line of defence, deterring criminals before they can commit a crime. If an incident does occur, our 24/7 high-definition recording and DVLA-linked vehicle recognition provide the police with high-quality, actionable evidence. By installing scOS, you are not only protecting your own home but also contributing to the overall safety of the Newton Longville community.

Many residents in Newton Longville commute to London or Milton Keynes, leaving their homes empty during the day. scOS is perfect for commuters because of its 'Presence Simulation' feature, which makes the property appear lived-in even when it's empty. You can also use the scOS Director AI to ask questions like 'Has anyone been to the house today?' or 'Was the delivery driver here?' from your phone while you're at work. This gives you total peace of mind that your home is secure and well-managed, even when you're miles away.
