scOS is a proactive AI security system, whereas traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool. Most CCTV systems use basic motion detection that triggers for everything from wind to passing cars on the A4, leading to 'alert fatigue.' scOS uses our proprietary MotionX technology, which ignores environmental noise and only alerts you to 'important activity'—specifically human movement. It automatically understands your property boundaries without any manual setup. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes with automatic lights and escalating voice warnings to stop the intruder before they can act. It’s like having a digital security guard protecting your home 24/7.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can integrate with most existing wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our Intelligence Hub takes the video feed from your current cameras and upgrades them with our advanced AI, including MotionX and scOS Director. During our professional UK installation, we will assess your current setup to ensure it’s fully compatible. We always recommend wired connections over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be defeated by the WiFi jammers that are increasingly used by modern criminals. This allows you to get state-of-the-art AI protection without the cost of replacing all your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your Saltford home look occupied by mimicking your normal activity patterns when you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they move or if they try to hide their faces. Third is Active Intervention: if the AI detects a genuine threat, it triggers instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. These layers work together to stop a criminal before they even attempt to enter your home. By removing the intruder's anonymity and making them feel 'watched,' scOS effectively deters crime before it happens.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a 'hybrid' approach: your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate response and then escalates it to our secure cloud for backup and remote access. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored 24/7 for up to two weeks. This ensures that your private information stays private and is only accessible by you, providing the highest level of security and privacy.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides proactive, whole-property protection. It monitors your entire boundary and uses AI to detect and deter threats before they reach your house. Doorbells are also often wireless and easily bypassed. scOS is a professional, wired system with advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director, which allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. It’s a complete security solution designed to prevent crime, not just record it.

Saltford’s location on the A4 between Bristol and Bath means a lot of passing traffic, which can be a source of false alarms for standard systems. scOS’s MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore the movement of cars and headlights on the road, focusing only on 'important activity' on your property. This means you won't be bothered by alerts every time a car drives past. You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your system is only alerting you to genuine threats, allowing you to enjoy the peace of Saltford without the annoyance of constant false notifications.

Avon and Somerset Constabulary value high-quality, actionable evidence. scOS provides HD, 24/7 recording and advanced AI analytics that make your footage incredibly useful for investigations. Our DVLA vehicle recognition can identify suspicious vehicles and check their registrations, even spotting cloned plates. Because MotionX eliminates false alarms, any footage you provide to the police is guaranteed to contain relevant activity. This high-quality evidence is much more likely to lead to a successful identification and prosecution than the grainy, unreliable footage from standard systems.

Many Saltford residents commute to Bristol or Bath, leaving their homes empty during the day. scOS is perfect for this lifestyle because of our Presence Simulation and scOS Director features. While you are away, the system makes your home look active, deterring burglars who target empty houses. If you want to check in, you don't have to watch hours of empty footage; you can simply ask the scOS Director, 'Was there any activity on the driveway while I was at work?' It will give you a natural language summary, keeping you informed and in control no matter where your commute takes you.
