Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a masked intruder after the fact. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that actively works to prevent crime. Our MotionX technology is a major advancement, focusing on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means zero false alarms from wind, animals, or shadows. Unlike standard systems that require you to manually set up 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS doesn't just alert you—it takes action. Using escalating responses like instant lighting and AI voice warnings from external IoT speakers, scOS deters intruders before they can cause any harm. It’s the difference between having a video of a break-in and preventing it entirely.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can work with most existing wired IP camera systems. If you have cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely transform them into a proactive AI system. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware and integrate it with the scOS Hub. This allows your existing cameras to benefit from MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our proactive deterrent features. It’s a great way to upgrade your Old Basing home's security without the expense and hassle of a full-system replacement.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home secure. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which mimics your household's normal activity patterns when you're away, making your home appear occupied. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if an intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat is detected, scOS initiates an escalating response, including automatic lights and AI-driven voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach challenges intruders at the perimeter, deterring them before they even reach your home, providing a much higher level of security than a traditional alarm system.

Your privacy and data security are our top priorities. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all support and data storage located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app. With scOS, you get advanced AI security with the peace of mind that your privacy is protected by UK standards.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door and often relies on potentially unstable Wi-Fi. scOS provides a comprehensive, proactive security solution for your entire property. While a doorbell might tell you someone is at the door, scOS uses MotionX to monitor your whole boundary, detecting threats before they reach the house. Our system uses professional wired connections, making it immune to the jamming that can affect wireless doorbells. Most importantly, scOS doesn't just record; it actively deters intruders with lights and voice warnings. For a home in Old Basing, scOS offers the complete property protection that a simple doorbell cannot provide.

Old Basing is known for its historic character and beautiful homes. Our professional installers are experienced in working with a variety of property styles, ensuring that the installation of scOS is as discreet as possible. We use wired connections for maximum reliability, but we take great care to hide cabling and maintain the aesthetic integrity of your home. The scOS Intelligence Hub is compact and can be tucked away, while our external IoT speakers and sensors are designed to be unobtrusive, providing state-of-the-art protection without compromising your home's historic charm.

Hampshire Constabulary data shows that while Old Basing is a safe village, property crime is still a concern. Criminals often target affluent villages near larger towns like Basingstoke, assuming residents may have become complacent. scOS ensures you don't become a 'soft target' by providing a proactive 'digital guard' that never sleeps. Our Presence Simulation is particularly effective here, making your home look lived-in even when you're away, which is a major deterrent for burglars. By being proactive, scOS helps maintain the safety and tranquillity of the village, giving you peace of mind that your home is always protected.

Yes, scOS includes integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is perfect for protecting your driveway. The system can recognise your family's cars and alert you to any unrecognised or suspicious vehicles that may be scouting the area. This is a vital feature for residents who want to protect their vehicles from theft or cloning, providing an extra layer of intelligence that standard security systems lack. This is especially useful for those who commute and leave their homes and vehicles unattended during the day.
