Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records events but does nothing to stop them. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. It features MotionX, an AI engine that distinguishes between a commuter walking past your gate and someone loitering near your car. Unlike traditional systems that rely on 'motion masks' which often fail, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS takes action—triggering lights and voice warnings from external speakers to drive intruders away. It’s the difference between having a video of a burglary and preventing the burglary from ever happening.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. During our professional installation process in Shalford—which usually takes about 4-6 hours—our engineers will integrate your current cameras with our Intelligence Hub. This instantly upgrades your 'dumb' cameras with our advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition. It’s a cost-effective way for Surrey homeowners to transition from basic recording to a fully proactive AI security system without needing to replace all their existing hardware.

scOS employs a multi-layered deterrent strategy. The first line of defence is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your typical indoor lighting and activity patterns, making your home look lived-in while you're commuting from Shalford station. If someone does approach, MotionX identifies them as a person—even if they are wearing a hood or mask. The system then initiates Active Intervention: external IoT speakers deliver voice warnings while lights illuminate the area. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that they are being monitored by an intelligent system, usually causing them to leave immediately.

We take data privacy extremely seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your footage remains your property and is never sold to third parties. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub to ensure speed and privacy, with the cloud used only for critical alerts and remote access. For residents in the Guildford area, this means you get world-class AI security with the peace of mind that your private life stays private.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree intelligence for your entire property. It detects threats at the boundary of your garden or driveway, long before they reach your house. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your land. For the larger detached homes common in Shalford, a doorbell is a minor hurdle; scOS is a comprehensive security solution that protects every corner of your home.

For Shalford residents commuting into London, 'Presence Simulation' is a game-changer. Unlike simple timers that turn lights on at the same time every day, scOS learns your actual habits. It simulates human movement by turning lights on and off in different rooms in a natural sequence. This makes it virtually impossible for a burglar 'casing' the street to tell that you aren't actually home. It provides a powerful, passive layer of protection that works 24/7 while you are away from the village.

Shalford's leafy environment can be a nightmare for traditional motion sensors, with wind-blown trees and shadows causing constant false alerts. scOS uses MotionX, which ignores environmental factors like swaying branches, cobwebs, or foxes. It is specifically tuned to recognise human behaviour and intent. This means you won't be bothered by notifications every time a cat crosses your lawn or the wind picks up. You only get alerted when there is 'important activity' that actually requires your attention, ensuring the system remains a helpful tool rather than a nuisance.

scOS Director is our conversational AI interface. Instead of digging through hours of video to see when a delivery arrived or if the gardener came, you can simply ask your system a question. You can type or speak, 'Director, was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Show me all the silver cars that entered the driveway today.' It makes managing your home security as easy as having a conversation, giving you instant answers and total control over your property's intelligence.
