Standard CCTV is a passive tool that only records crime as it happens, often leaving you with nothing but footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to stop crime before it starts. Unlike traditional systems that use 'motion masks'—which are frequently triggered by wind, rain, or pets—MotionX identifies 'important activity' only. It recognises human shapes and movements with 100% accuracy, even if the person is trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. This means zero false alarms. While standard CCTV waits for you to check the app, scOS takes immediate action, using lights and voice warnings to drive intruders away from your Sawbridgeworth property.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can breathe new life into your existing wired IP cameras. Whether you have Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink cameras installed at your Sawbridgeworth home, our Intelligence Hub can integrate them into our AI network. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will connect your current hardware to the scOS system. This transforms your 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive deterrent system without the need for a total hardware replacement. We can also add new high-spec cameras to fill any gaps in your property's coverage, ensuring total boundary protection.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrent strategy. It begins with Presence Simulation, which uses internal lighting and activity patterns to make your home look occupied while you're commuting or away on holiday. If someone does approach, our MotionX technology detects them the moment they cross your property line—even if they are wearing a mask. The system then initiates an Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver authoritative voice warnings, and smart lighting floods the area. This escalating response tells the intruder that they are being monitored by an active AI system, not just a passive camera, which is usually enough to make them leave immediately.

We take data privacy very seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All our data centres, support teams, and engineers are located within the UK, and we are fully GDPR compliant. Your security footage is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub for maximum speed and privacy, with only critical events escalated to our secure UK cloud. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary including side gates, gardens, and driveways. While a doorbell is reactive—often sending a notification to your phone that you might miss—scOS is proactive. It uses AI to detect threats and automatically triggers deterrents like voice warnings and lights to stop a crime before it happens. For Sawbridgeworth residents with larger properties or high-value vehicles on the driveway, a doorbell simply doesn't offer the comprehensive security that an AI-driven scOS system provides.

Sawbridgeworth's proximity to the M11 and Stansted makes it a prime target for 'relay' car theft, where criminals target high-value vehicles on driveways. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your property's vicinity. The system can recognise suspicious patterns, such as a vehicle 'casing' the street multiple times, and alert you immediately. Because scOS uses wired connections rather than Wi-Fi, it cannot be 'jammed' by the electronic devices often used by modern car thieves, ensuring your vehicles remain protected 24/7.

For the many Sawbridgeworth residents who commute into London, scOS offers the ultimate peace of mind. Our Presence Simulation feature is specifically designed for commuters; it learns your typical home activity and replicates it while you're away, making it impossible for a burglar to tell the house is empty. If an incident does occur, you don't need to spend your train journey scrolling through footage. You can use 'scOS Director,' our conversational AI, to ask, 'Has anyone been on the driveway today?' and get an instant, natural-language report on your home's status.

While Sawbridgeworth has a lower crime rate than the national average, this can often lead to complacency, which opportunistic criminals exploit. scOS ensures you are never a 'soft target.' Our system is always on, providing 24/7 recording and proactive monitoring that doesn't rely on you being home or awake. By installing scOS, you are putting a visible, intelligent deterrent in place that signals to criminals that your home is protected by the most advanced technology available, keeping Sawbridgeworth's crime rates low for your family.
