Traditional CCTV in Rural Barnet is often passive, simply recording events for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. It doesn't require complex motion masks; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with automatic lighting and voice warnings from external speakers, deterring intruders before they ever reach your home. It’s the difference between having a witness and having an active digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. If you already have a system installed at your Barnet property, we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub to add AI capabilities. During our professional installation process, which takes about 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup. We prioritise wired connections over wireless to ensure your system is resilient against jamming, providing the 24/7 reliability required for high-value properties.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual internal activity patterns while you're away—essential for London commuters. Second, our MotionX AI identifies people even if they are trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. Third, if someone crosses your boundary, the system triggers an escalating response: instant lighting followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach stops intruders at the perimeter, ensuring they never get close enough to attempt a break-in.

Your data privacy is our top priority. 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 other providers, we never sell your data. The Intelligence Hub on your property processes most of the AI locally, only using the cloud for secure storage and escalation. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app at any time.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and is often reactive—it tells you someone is there once they've already arrived. In Rural Barnet, where property crime is above the national average, you need to protect your entire property, including driveways and side entrances. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary. It doesn't just notify you; it actively works to deter intruders using voice warnings and automated lighting the moment they step onto your land, stopping crime before it reaches your front door.

Rural Barnet's proximity to the M25 and A1 makes it a target for organised vehicle theft. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies the registration plates of any car entering your property and checks them against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned or suspicious plates is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for protecting high-value vehicles from 'keyless' theft gangs who often use these major transport links for a quick escape.

Many Barnet residents commute into London, leaving their homes empty for long periods. scOS is designed for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation feature ensures your home looks lived-in, while the scOS Director allows you to check in using natural language. You can ask, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was in the city?' and get a concise summary. This gives you the confidence that your home is being actively guarded while you're away at work.

Traditional motion sensors often suffer from false alarms caused by wildlife or swaying trees, which are common in the Green Belt. scOS uses MotionX, an AI specifically designed to ignore animals, wind, and cobwebs. It focuses exclusively on human activity and suspicious patterns. This means you won't be bothered by alerts every time a fox crosses your garden, ensuring that when you do get a notification, it's something that actually requires your attention.
