Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means it ignores swaying trees, spiders, or wind, focusing entirely on genuine threats. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS works out of the box, automatically detecting your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light and voice responses to stop an incident before your home is even touched.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a proactive AI security system. This allows you to upgrade your home's intelligence without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your existing cameras are wired, as we prefer wired connections over jam-prone wireless setups.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied even when you're away in Witney or commuting to Oxford. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are attempting to conceal their identity with hoods or masks. Finally, if a threat is detected within your property boundaries, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to AI-generated voice warnings from external IoT speakers, designed to convince any intruder that they have been spotted by a live guard.

Your privacy is a cornerstone of our service. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Most of the intelligence is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub, only escalating to our secure cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to up to two weeks of recordings from anywhere in the world, ensuring you are always in control of your North Leigh property's security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door—often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS uses proactive deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. It provides whole-property protection rather than just a narrow view of your front step, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it.

With property crime rates in North Leigh being higher than the regional average, proactive security is essential. scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. Our AI-driven voice deterrents and light responses are designed to stop an intruder the moment they cross your boundary. This immediate, autonomous response is far more effective at preventing crime than a traditional alarm system, which only sounds after a break-in has already occurred.

Thames Valley Police are active in the area, but they cannot be everywhere. scOS acts as your first line of defence, providing immediate intervention that can prevent a crime from ever being completed. If an incident does occur, scOS provides high-quality, AI-analysed evidence, including vehicle recognition and person identification, which is invaluable for police investigations. Our system ensures that your home is a 'hard target', making it much less likely to be chosen by opportunists.

Yes, scOS is perfect for commuters. Our Presence Simulation feature uses AI to learn your daily routines and mimic them while you're at work, making your home look occupied. You can also use the scOS Director conversational AI to check in on your property from your office or the train, asking questions like 'Is everything quiet at home?' or 'Has anyone been near the back gate?' to get an instant, natural-language update on your home's security.
