Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later, but it rarely stops it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that monitors your Romsey property in real-time. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which ignores the false alarms that plague standard systems—like wind in the trees or spiders on the lens—and focuses exclusively on 'important activity.' While standard cameras wait for you to check an app, scOS identifies threats the moment they cross your property boundary and initiates an immediate, escalating response to deter the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink already installed at your Romsey home, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate with them. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By layering our AI over your existing cameras, you get all the benefits of MotionX detection and proactive deterrents without the need for a complete hardware overhaul, provided your cameras meet the necessary technical standards for high-quality video feed.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied even when you’re away, which is the best way to avoid being targeted in the first place. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person’s presence regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system triggers an Active Intervention. This isn't just a silent alert; scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and activates instant illumination to let the intruder know they have been spotted and are being tracked.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours and are never sold to third parties. You have total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring your Romsey home remains private.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your front door, often after they’ve already pressed the button or stolen a parcel. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates and back gardens. More importantly, a doorbell just watches; scOS stops the crime. By the time a criminal reaches a video doorbell, they are already on your doorstep. scOS identifies them the moment they step onto your driveway and uses escalating voice and light deterrents to ensure they never get close enough to touch your door.

While Romsey has a lower crime rate than the national average, its affluent nature and proximity to Southampton and the M27 make it a target for opportunistic thieves. These criminals often look for 'easy wins'—homes that appear empty or have visible lapses in security. scOS eliminates these vulnerabilities by using Presence Simulation to make your home look occupied 24/7 and MotionX AI to detect anyone scouting your property. By being proactive, you ensure your home is never the 'easy' option on the street.

Romsey is home to many beautiful period properties and modern residences where aesthetics matter. Our professional UK-based installation team is expert at discreetly fitting wired systems. We avoid the bulky, plastic look of many consumer-grade cameras. More importantly, our 'Wired Over Wireless' approach ensures that your security isn't reliant on a WiFi signal that can be easily jammed or drop out due to thick historic walls, providing a robust, professional-grade shield for your Hampshire home.

For Romsey residents with high-value vehicles, scOS offers a critical advantage. Our DVLA Vehicle Recognition doesn't just record number plates; it understands which vehicles belong at your home and which don't. If a suspicious vehicle enters your driveway or lingers outside your property, scOS can alert you immediately. Combined with our MotionX detection, which can spot someone trying to hide their face or silhouette near your car, scOS provides a level of vehicle protection that standard alarms simply cannot match.
