Traditional CCTV is a passive witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. In a quiet village like Over Stratton, where the property crime rate is low, the real danger is complacency. scOS is proactive. Using our MotionX technology, the system identifies 'important activity'—specifically human presence—without the need for manual motion masks. It ignores the wind and local animals, focusing only on real threats. When a threat is detected, scOS proactively intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents from external speakers, stopping intruders before they even reach your door.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and works with the majority of professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. If your Over Stratton home already has a camera setup, we can likely transform it into a high-intelligence scOS network. Our professional UK installers will visit your property for a 4-6 hour session to install the Intelligence Hub and integrate your existing hardware. This allows you to benefit from our advanced AI, such as DVLA vehicle recognition and escalating responses, without needing to replace your entire existing infrastructure.

scOS employs a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away—a vital feature for those quiet Somerset nights. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders regardless of whether they are wearing masks or trying to hide their shape. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If someone enters your property boundary, the system triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to any criminal that they are being watched by an active system.

We take your privacy seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike other systems that process everything in the cloud, scOS uses a local Intelligence Hub for immediate processing, only escalating to the cloud for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared. You have full control over your recordings, which are available 24/7 for up to two weeks, ensuring your Over Stratton home is protected without compromising your privacy.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often easily bypassed by intruders entering through side gates or back gardens. In a village like Over Stratton, where homes often have significant outdoor space or are near open fields, you need more comprehensive coverage. scOS monitors your entire property boundary automatically. While a doorbell might tell you a package has arrived, scOS is designed to stop a burglary before it happens by using AI to detect suspicious behaviour and intervene with lights and voice warnings.

Over Stratton is a rural village, and we know that local wildlife like foxes or badgers can be a nuisance for traditional motion sensors. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals, wind, and even spiders on the lens. It only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically humans and vehicles. This means you won't be woken up by false alarms, and when you do get an alert, you know it’s something that requires your attention.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA-integrated vehicle recognition. This is particularly useful for rural residents who want to keep track of unfamiliar vehicles on their property. The system checks registrations against the DVLA database to flag suspicious or cloned plates. You can even use the scOS Director, our conversational AI, to ask questions like 'What vehicles have been on my driveway today?' and get an immediate, natural language response.

Many Over Stratton homes have detached garages or outbuildings that store valuable equipment. scOS is perfect for this because it uses wired connections (Power over Ethernet) which are more reliable and secure than Wi-Fi. Our AI treats your entire property, including outbuildings, as a single protected zone. If someone approaches your garage, the system will trigger the same escalating voice and light deterrents as it would for your main house, ensuring all your assets are protected.
