Standard CCTV is a passive observer, but scOS is an active defender. In growing communities like Old Sarum, you need a system that understands the difference between a neighbour and a threat. scOS uses MotionX technology to focus on 'important activity'—human and vehicle movement—while ignoring false alarms like wind or animals. Unlike traditional systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and uses escalating responses, such as lights and AI voice warnings, to stop an intruder before they reach your home. It’s about preventing crime, not just recording it.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you've already invested in a camera system for your Old Sarum home, our professional UK installers can integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This upgrades your existing hardware with our advanced AI features, such as person recognition, DVLA vehicle checks, and the scOS Director conversational AI, without the need for a costly full replacement.

scOS uses a three-tier approach to keep your property secure. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied when you're out by mimicking your normal activity patterns. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour, such as loitering or covered faces, with incredible accuracy. Third, if someone enters your property, the system triggers Active Intervention—using external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and turning on lights. This immediate response lets intruders know they are being watched by an intelligent system, usually causing them to leave immediately.

Your 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: the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the AI analysis locally for speed and privacy, while our secure UK cloud is used for remote access and alerts. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your door, scOS detects them the moment they step onto your driveway or enter your garden. It uses AI to distinguish between family and strangers and can even check number plates against the DVLA database. Most importantly, scOS proactively deters criminals with voice warnings and lights, whereas a doorbell usually just records them.

Old Sarum's proximity to the A345 makes it accessible, but also potentially vulnerable to 'drive-by' scouting. scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition, which identifies every vehicle that enters your property and checks its registration against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or one linked to suspicious activity is detected, you'll be alerted immediately. This is a powerful tool for identifying potential threats before they ever attempt to step out of their car.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as talking to a friend. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden while I was at work?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' The Director searches your footage and gives you an instant answer, saving you from scrolling through hours of video. It’s a sophisticated tool that allows Old Sarum residents to stay informed about their home's security with minimal effort.

Our installation is handled by professional UK-based engineers and typically takes 4-6 hours. We use wired connections for all our systems because they are far more reliable and secure than wireless alternatives, which can be easily jammed. We'll ensure all cabling is neat and hidden, and we'll spend time with you at the end of the day to set up the app and show you how to use the scOS Director to manage your new home intelligence.
