Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later viewing. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms for every passing cat or swaying branch, MotionX focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' recognising human behaviour even if a person is trying to hide their shape or cover their face. While your old system waits for a crime to happen, scOS identifies threats the moment they cross your property boundary, triggering automatic light and voice responses to stop intruders in their tracks. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a bodyguard.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate them into the scOS ecosystem. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform these 'dumb' cameras into intelligent sensors, allowing them to benefit from MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and our proactive deterrent features without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop crime before it starts. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal lighting patterns and mimic them while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the property boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or balaclava. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an Escalating Response. This includes instant illumination and authoritative warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, intelligent intervention, scOS makes your property an impossible target for opportunistic criminals.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data, and you maintain total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. Because we use wired connections rather than vulnerable Wi-Fi, your data is also protected from signal jamming, ensuring that your home's intelligence remains private, secure, and always accessible to you.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property. While a doorbell might capture a package thief after the fact, scOS uses AI to detect someone entering your garden or driveway long before they reach the house. By the time a criminal gets to your front door, scOS has already identified them, logged their vehicle via DVLA recognition, and likely deterred them with a voice warning. It provides 24/7 whole-property surveillance and proactive intervention that a simple doorbell camera simply cannot match.

Rural Oxford properties often have large gardens or driveways that are difficult to monitor with standard cameras. scOS solves this with MotionX, which can detect important activity across large areas without the need for complex setup. Whether it's a person moving through a dark paddock or someone approaching a side gate, scOS identifies the human form regardless of the distance or lighting conditions. This 'whole-acre' intelligence is perfect for the more expansive properties found in the Oxfordshire countryside.

Thames Valley Police are increasingly dealing with organised rural crime. scOS helps by providing high-level intelligence, such as DVLA Vehicle Recognition. If a suspicious vehicle enters your driveway, scOS doesn't just record it; it checks the plate and logs the activity. This data is stored securely in our UK cloud and can be invaluable for police when tracking criminal patterns across the region. By installing scOS, you're not just protecting your home; you're providing a deterrent that makes the whole area less attractive to criminals.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a guard. For Rural Oxford residents, this means you can ask natural questions like, 'Was there any activity near the back gate last night?' or 'Did any delivery vans arrive while I was out?' The system will scan your footage and give you a plain-English answer. It turns hours of potential footage-reviewing into a simple five-second conversation.
