Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage for a police report. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology doesn't just see movement; it understands 'important activity.' Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks to avoid false alarms from the wind or pets, MotionX works out of the box to identify people and vehicles with near-zero false alarms. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes. It uses automatic light responses and external IoT voice deterrents to warn intruders that they have been spotted before they even touch your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can often transform them from 'dumb' recording devices into an intelligent, proactive security network. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering scOS intelligence over your existing cameras, you gain access to MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our escalating response protocols without needing to replace every piece of hardware. This makes upgrading to AI-driven home intelligence both cost-effective and efficient for Overton homeowners looking to modernise their property protection.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to stop criminals. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal patterns and simulates human activity inside (like lighting changes) when you're away, making the property look occupied—the most effective way to deter burglars. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies 'important activity' instantly, recognising people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers escalating responses. This starts with automatic illumination and moves to clear, authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. Unlike a simple alarm, scOS makes it clear to the intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to flee before a break-in occurs.

At scOS, we take privacy as seriously as security. We are a 100% UK-based company, which means all our support, data centres, and operations are right here in the UK. Your data is fully GDPR compliant and remains your property; we never sell or share your footage. Our system uses a hybrid approach: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis and remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that while your home is protected by world-class AI, your family's private life stays private, stored securely within British borders.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived. In contrast, scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines. It doesn't just show you a notification; it actively deters intruders using voice warnings and presence simulation. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and prone to signal jamming or battery failure. scOS uses professional, wired installations that are far more reliable and provide 24/7 recording, ensuring you have a complete, unshakeable shield around your entire Overton home.

Overton’s proximity to the A303 makes it a potential target for 'in-and-out' vehicle thefts. scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition, which checks the registration of any car entering your driveway against official databases. This allows the system to instantly flag cloned plates or vehicles that shouldn't be there. While Overton enjoys a lower crime rate than the national average, this technology ensures that opportunistic criminals using the main road networks are identified and deterred the moment they turn into your property, keeping your driveway as secure as your front door.

Absolutely. We understand that Overton residents value the quiet, village atmosphere. Our MotionX technology is specifically tuned to ignore the 'noise' of rural life—such as foxes, swaying trees near the River Test, or birds. Because scOS focuses on 'important activity' (specifically human and vehicle patterns), you won't be bothered by constant false alerts on your phone. You only get notified when there is a genuine reason for concern, allowing you to enjoy the peace of the Hampshire countryside with total confidence in your home's security.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a person. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Did any delivery drivers come by this afternoon?' or 'Was there any unusual activity near the garage last night?' The Director understands natural language and provides instant answers based on the AI's analysis of your property. It’s a revolutionary way for Overton residents to stay informed about their home’s status without needing to be a tech expert.
