Most CCTV systems are passive, meaning they only record a crime while it's happening. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime. Our MotionX technology is a major differentiator; it doesn't use old-fashioned motion masks that trigger for every passing car or swaying tree. Instead, it focuses on 'important activity,' accurately identifying human beings even if they are trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. When scOS detects a threat at your Oaklands property, it doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder in their tracks.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. During our professional UK installation, we integrate your existing cameras with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub acts as the 'brain' of your system, adding AI intelligence and proactive deterrent features to your current setup. This allows Oaklands residents to upgrade to world-class security without the need for a complete hardware replacement, making it both a smart and cost-effective choice for high-end home protection.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your home. First, Presence Simulation makes your house appear occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns—crucial for deterring scouts when you're away. Second, MotionX technology detects any human presence the moment they cross your property boundary. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI voice warnings and lights respond instantly to the intruder's movement. This escalating response is designed to let criminals know they have been spotted by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before they can cause any damage.

Your data privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell or share your data with third parties. The system uses a hybrid of local processing on your Intelligence Hub and cloud processing for secure remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that your security data remains private and accessible only to you, providing total peace of mind.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door, often when it's already too late. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that monitors your entire property boundary. In an area like Oaklands, where homes often have large driveways and multiple entry points, a doorbell is insufficient. scOS detects threats as soon as they step onto your land and actively deters them with voice and light warnings. It stops crime before it happens, rather than just recording it at your doorstep.

Oaklands' proximity to the A1(M) can make it a target for vehicle-related crime. scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which monitors every vehicle that enters your driveway. The system checks registrations against the DVLA database to flag cloned plates and can distinguish between your family's cars and unknown vehicles. If a suspicious vehicle lingers near your property, scOS can alert you immediately and even use voice deterrents to let the driver know they are being monitored, providing a powerful layer of protection for your cars.

scOS is designed for zero false alarms. Our MotionX technology is smart enough to ignore the common triggers that plague other systems, such as spiders on the lens, foxes in the garden, or wind-blown trees. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—specifically human and vehicle movements. This means that when you receive an alert on your phone, you can be certain it's something that actually requires your attention, allowing you to enjoy the peace of Oaklands without constant, annoying interruptions.

The scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there anyone on the driveway this afternoon?' or 'Did the gardener arrive today?' The Director will scan your recordings and provide a clear, concise answer. It makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation, giving you instant access to the information you need about your property's safety.
