Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device that only helps you see what you've already lost. In affluent areas like Richmond, professional thieves are often undeterred by standard cameras because they know no one is watching the live feed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—and ignores false alarms like pets or swaying trees. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and intervenes the moment a threat is detected with lights and voice warnings. It doesn't just watch; it defends, acting as a digital security guard that stops crime before it happens.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and brand-agnostic. If your Richmond home already has a high-quality wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Axis, or Dahua), we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing cameras into a smart, AI-driven network. During our professional installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure it can handle our advanced AI processing. This allows you to benefit from features like presence simulation and DVLA vehicle recognition without the need for a completely new hardware installation, making it a sophisticated and efficient upgrade for your home security.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is 'Presence Simulation,' which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home while you're away, making it look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the intruder is masked or trying to hide. Third is 'Active Intervention'—if a threat persists, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and activates instant lighting. This escalating response is designed to make the intruder feel 'seen' by an active system, usually causing them to abandon their attempt immediately.

We prioritise your privacy and data security. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike many consumer brands, we never sell your data or use it for marketing. Your Intelligence Hub processes most data locally for speed and privacy, only escalating to the cloud for secure storage and advanced AI analysis. You have total control over your footage via the scOS app, with 24/7 recording history available for two weeks, ensuring your home's intelligence remains private and under your sole command.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. In the larger properties found in rural Richmond, there are often multiple points of entry, such as side gates or large gardens, that a doorbell simply cannot see. scOS provides comprehensive, 360-degree property intelligence. It detects threats at the boundary, long before they reach your door, and uses active deterrents like voice warnings to stop them. Furthermore, scOS is a hardwired, professional system that can't be jammed or suffer from battery failure like many common doorbells. It’s a complete security ecosystem rather than a single-point notification device.

Richmond is a prime target for high-value vehicle theft, often involving 'relay attacks' or cloned plates. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which checks the registration of any vehicle entering your driveway against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a history of suspicious activity is detected, scOS can alert you instantly and initiate a deterrent response. This proactive approach is essential for protecting luxury vehicles and giving you an early warning of professional 'scouting' activity in your neighbourhood.

We understand that for many residents in Richmond, privacy is as important as security. scOS does not use facial recognition; instead, it uses 'Person Recognition' based on behaviour and patterns to distinguish between family members and strangers. This provides high-level security without the privacy concerns of biometric data. Additionally, our 'Covered Face Detection' specifically flags individuals attempting to hide their identity with masks or hoods, ensuring that suspicious activity is prioritised without compromising the everyday privacy of your family and guests.

scOS is designed to be as intuitive as possible. You don't need to be a technical expert to use it. Our conversational AI, scOS Director, allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask, 'Was there anyone at the gate this afternoon?' or 'Show me any activity from last night,' and get an immediate, intelligent response. There are no complex settings to manage; the AI handles the boundary detection and threat assessment automatically. Our professional UK-based team handles the entire installation and will ensure you are fully comfortable using the system before they leave.
