Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records crime as it happens. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to stop crime before it starts. Unlike standard systems that use 'motion masks'—which are frequently triggered by wind, rain, or pets—MotionX identifies 'important activity' only. It recognises human shapes and movements with 100% accuracy, even if the person is trying to hide their face. This means zero false alarms. While standard CCTV waits for you to check the app, scOS takes immediate action, using lights and voice warnings to drive intruders away from your Ross-on-Wye property.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can work with your existing wired IP cameras. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink cameras, our Intelligence Hub can integrate them into our AI network. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will connect your current hardware to the scOS system. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive deterrent system. We can also add new high-spec cameras to fill any gaps in your property's coverage, ensuring total boundary protection for your Ross-on-Wye home.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrent strategy. It begins with Presence Simulation, which uses internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied while you're away. If someone does approach, our MotionX technology detects them the moment they cross your property line—even if they are wearing a mask. The system then initiates an Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver authoritative voice warnings, and smart lighting floods the area. This escalating response tells the intruder that they are being monitored by an active AI system, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

We take data privacy very seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All our data centres, support teams, and engineers are located within the UK, and we are fully GDPR compliant. Your security footage is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and privacy, with only critical events escalated to our secure UK cloud. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days and can be accessed securely from anywhere via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary including side gates, gardens, and driveways. While a doorbell is reactive—often sending a notification to your phone that you might miss—scOS is proactive. It uses AI to detect threats and automatically triggers deterrents like voice warnings and lights to stop a crime before it happens. For Ross-on-Wye residents with period properties or larger gardens, scOS offers a much more comprehensive security solution than a simple doorbell.

Ross-on-Wye's location near the A40 and M50 makes it accessible to transient traffic, which can lead to opportunistic theft. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your property's vicinity. The system can recognise suspicious patterns, such as a vehicle 'casing' the street multiple times, and alert you immediately. Because scOS uses wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, it cannot be 'jammed' by electronic devices, ensuring your property and vehicles remain protected 24/7 from any opportunistic threats.

West Mercia Police can act more effectively when provided with high-quality, verified evidence. Because scOS uses MotionX technology to eliminate false alarms, every alert is a confirmed event. Our system provides 24/7 high-definition recording and DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which can identify the registration plates of vehicles used in crimes. By providing police with clear footage and verified data, scOS increases the likelihood of a swift response and successful prosecution, helping to keep Ross-on-Wye a safe and beautiful place to live.

Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that makes managing your security effortless. You can ask it questions like, 'Has anyone been in the garden today?' or 'Show me any suspicious vehicles from last night.' It will provide you with a natural-language summary and the relevant footage instantly. This is perfect for Ross-on-Wye residents who want to stay informed without having to manually check their cameras. It's like having a professional security guard on duty 24/7 that you can talk to at any time.
