Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' the moment it happens. In an affluent village like Redbourn, traditional systems often fail to deter sophisticated burglars who know how to bypass basic alarms. scOS is different; it automatically detects your property boundaries and ignores everything outside them. It recognises people regardless of how they are moving or if they are trying to conceal their identity. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with lights and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they can reach your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can transform your existing wired IP cameras into an intelligent security network. If your Redbourn home already has cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate with them directly. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering scOS intelligence over your existing setup, you gain access to MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents without needing to replace every camera. This makes upgrading to a high-tier AI system both cost-effective and efficient, ensuring your previous investments continue to provide value.

scOS employs a three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals before they enter your home. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you’re away from Redbourn, the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and simulates them, making your home appear occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone steps onto your land, even if they are wearing a mask. Finally, if a threat persists, the system initiates Active Intervention. This involves instant, escalating light responses and authoritative warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. This combination of appearing occupied and providing immediate, intelligent reactions ensures that your property is never an easy target.

Your privacy is a core priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. Unlike many competitors who process footage overseas, scOS uses a hybrid approach: our Intelligence Hub processes data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to our UK cloud when necessary. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. You have complete ownership of your footage, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. This ensures your Redbourn home remains private while staying protected by the highest standards of British data privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only alerts you when someone is already at your front door. In Redbourn, where many homes have side access or large gardens, this leaves significant blind spots. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats long before they reach the door. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed. scOS uses professional wired connections for reliability and features MotionX AI, which can distinguish between a delivery driver and someone scouting your home. Most importantly, scOS actively deters intruders with voice and light responses, whereas a doorbell merely records them.

Redbourn’s affluent character and easy access to the M1 and St Albans make it a prime target for sophisticated burglars. scOS is designed to counter these threats with DVLA Vehicle Recognition and MotionX AI. Our system identifies unrecognised vehicles scouting the village and can flag cloned plates. Because scOS provides an escalating response—from lights to authoritative voice warnings—it acts as a constant, vigilant guard that doesn't just record crime but actively works to prevent it, giving you peace of mind in an area that is often targeted by professional thieves.

Hertfordshire Constabulary are more likely to respond to incidents where there is clear, verified evidence. Because scOS uses MotionX AI to eliminate false alarms, any alert you receive is a high-priority event. The system provides detailed intelligence, including DVLA-verified vehicle data and person recognition, which you can pass directly to the police. This 'verified' status carries much more weight than a standard alarm trigger. By providing the police with specific details about the intruder's behaviour and vehicle, scOS significantly increases the chances of a rapid response and a successful investigation.

Absolutely. One of the most powerful features of scOS is the 'scOS Director,' a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a live guard. You can ask natural questions like, 'Was there anyone in the garden while I was at the Redbourn Cricket Club?' or 'What time did the gardener arrive?' The AI understands the context of your property and can search through days of footage in seconds to give you a descriptive answer. This removes the need to spend hours scrubbing through video files, making it perfect for Redbourn residents who want quick, reliable information.
