Standard CCTV is a passive witness, but scOS is a proactive guardian. Most systems in Pilning rely on basic motion detection, which leads to endless false alarms from cars on the B4064 or wind in the trees. scOS uses MotionX, an AI that ignores environmental noise and focuses only on 'important activity.' It automatically detects your property boundaries without the need for manual 'zones.' When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers instant lighting. It’s a complete security ecosystem that identifies, tracks, and deters intruders before they can cause damage, rather than just filming them while they do it.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Axis. If your Pilning home already has cameras, our Intelligence Hub can likely take over the feed and apply our advanced AI. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup. By integrating your existing cameras with the scOS Hub, you gain access to MotionX detection, Presence Simulation, and our escalating response protocols without needing to replace all your hardware. We recommend wired connections over wireless to ensure the system cannot be jammed and remains reliable 24/7.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your daily activity patterns inside the house to make it look occupied even when you're at work or away. Second is our MotionX AI, which spots suspicious behaviour—like someone 'casing' the property—and recognises people even if they attempt to hide their faces with hoods or masks. The final layer is Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers bright lights and escalating voice warnings from external speakers. This immediate confrontation is designed to startle and remove the anonymity of the criminal, forcing them to abandon their attempt immediately.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data stays within the UK. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate AI analysis locally on your property for maximum speed, while video storage and remote access are managed through our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full access to 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks, and you can query your system using scOS Director, our conversational AI, to ask questions about activity on your property without ever compromising your privacy.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is often easily bypassed or ignored by experienced criminals. In Pilning, where property crime rates are above the national average, you need more than a doorbell. scOS provides 360-degree property intelligence, detecting intruders the moment they enter your driveway or garden, not just when they reach the door. Unlike doorbells that just record, scOS proactively intervenes with voice deterrents and lights. It’s a professional-grade, wired security system that stops crime in its tracks, whereas a doorbell usually just provides a video of the person who stole your parcel.

Pilning's location near the M4/M5 interchange makes it a prime target for 'transit crime,' where thieves travel in, strike, and leave the area quickly. scOS is specifically designed to counter this. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition checks registrations against the national database to flag suspicious or cloned plates immediately. By detecting and deterring these intruders the moment they arrive, scOS breaks the 'easy target' profile that many motorway-adjacent villages unfortunately have, providing a level of protection that standard local patrols cannot match.

Avon and Somerset Constabulary are often stretched thin, but scOS makes their job easier. Our system provides AI-verified evidence, meaning when you report an incident, you aren't just sending 'motion'—you're sending a confirmed person recognition event with a clear timeline of activity. Furthermore, because scOS is proactive and often scares intruders away before a crime is committed, it reduces the need for police intervention entirely, giving you peace of mind that your home is defending itself.

Absolutely. Pilning has a mix of residential and light industrial/agricultural properties. scOS is brand-agnostic and can be scaled to cover larger perimeters, outbuildings, and yards. Our MotionX technology is perfect for these environments because it ignores the movement of animals or machinery, only alerting you when a human is detected in a place they shouldn't be. The system's ability to auto-detect boundaries means even complex property layouts are protected without the need for constant manual adjustment.
