Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime as it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive 'digital guard' using our MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that require complex 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX intelligently identifies 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—out of the box. It doesn't just watch; it understands and intervenes, ensuring you aren't plagued by false alerts while guaranteeing that genuine threats are met with an immediate response.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can breathe new life into your existing infrastructure. If you have professional-grade wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink, 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 hardware. By layering our AI over your existing 'dumb' cameras, we transform them into an intelligent, proactive defence network without the need for a total hardware overhaul.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home (like lights and TV usage) to make it look occupied even when you're on holiday. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, regardless of whether they are wearing masks or trying to hide. Finally, the system triggers an Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver authoritative AI voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the area. This escalating response is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks before they ever touch a door or window.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your footage and personal information stay yours and are never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your data, which is accessible only to you via our secure app, with up to two weeks of 24/7 recording stored at any time.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, detecting threats at the edge of your property. More importantly, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place through active intervention and presence simulation, rather than just providing a recording of the person who stole your parcel.

Rural properties in Wokingham often have complex boundaries that traditional 'tripwire' sensors struggle with. scOS uses AI to automatically detect your property lines without any manual setup. This means your system knows exactly where your private land starts, even in gardens with irregular shapes or dense foliage, ensuring that a passerby on the lane doesn't trigger an alarm, but someone stepping onto your gravel driveway does.

Absolutely. Many Wokingham residents have detached garages or outbuildings that are prime targets for theft. scOS treats these as part of your integrated 'intelligence zone.' Our MotionX technology can distinguish between a fox moving near your shed and a person attempting to force a lock. If a threat is detected near an outbuilding, the system can trigger the same escalating voice and light deterrents used for the main house.

For homes set back from the road, knowing who is approaching is vital. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically logs the registration plates of vehicles entering your property. It checks these against the DVLA database to identify the make and model, and can even flag 'cloned' plates or vehicles that don't match their registration. This provides an extra layer of intelligence for Wokingham homeowners concerned about suspicious vehicles scouting the area.
