Standard CCTV is a passive recording tool, whereas scOS is an active intelligence system. Most systems in Prees rely on motion detection that triggers for everything from a blowing leaf to a passing car on the A49, leading to 'notification fatigue.' scOS uses MotionX, which ignores these distractions and only alerts you to 'important activity' like a person approaching your home. It doesn't just record; it intervenes. By using AI to detect property boundaries and triggering automatic light and voice responses, scOS stops intruders before they can cause damage, providing a level of protection that traditional cameras simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and brand-agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), our Intelligence Hub can usually take over the 'brain' of the system. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will integrate your existing cameras into the scOS ecosystem. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI monitoring and proactive deterrence without the cost of a completely new hardware setup, making it an ideal choice for homeowners in Prees looking to modernise their security.

scOS employs a three-tiered deterrence strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns, which is the best way to deter 'casing.' Second, our MotionX AI identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing masks or trying to hide. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, scOS triggers external lights and escalating voice warnings from IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to the criminal that they are being watched by an active system, not just a passive camera, usually forcing them to leave immediately.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many 'smart' home brands, we never sell your data. The system processes most intelligence locally on your Intelligence Hub for maximum privacy and speed, only using our secure cloud for advanced analysis and to allow you to access your 24/7 recordings from anywhere. You retain full ownership and control over every second of footage recorded at your Prees property.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is largely reactive—it tells you someone is there once they've already arrived. scOS provides 360-degree proactive protection for your entire property. It detects intruders at the boundary, long before they reach your door, and uses active deterrents to stop them. For residents in Prees, where properties often have larger driveways or outbuildings, a doorbell simply isn't enough. scOS offers a comprehensive AI-driven solution that prevents crime rather than just documenting it.

Prees's location near the A49 makes vehicle-related crime a specific concern. scOS includes DVLA-linked vehicle recognition, which can identify registrations and check them against databases to spot cloned plates or suspicious vehicles that have been 'loitering' near your property. If an unknown vehicle enters your driveway, the system can alert you immediately and even initiate a voice deterrent if the behaviour is deemed suspicious, providing an essential layer of protection for your cars and vans.

Yes, scOS is perfect for rural Shropshire properties. Our MotionX technology is specifically designed to filter out 'false positives' like foxes, owls, or swaying branches. It focuses entirely on human and vehicle activity. This means you won't be woken up at 2 AM by a cat in the garden, but you will be alerted instantly if a person is moving toward your garage or outbuildings. It provides the peace of mind that rural living deserves without the annoyance of constant false alarms.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Did any delivery vans come by this morning?' or 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' The AI will scan the data and give you a direct answer. It’s like having a digital security guard for your Prees home that you can talk to at any time, making managing your home intelligence incredibly simple.
