Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records events as they happen. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to stop crime before it occurs. The core of our system is MotionX technology, which focuses on 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means it can distinguish between a person and a pet or a swaying branch, resulting in zero false alarms. Unlike standard CCTV, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. When a threat is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers and automatic lighting to challenge the intruder, providing a level of active protection that a standard recording device simply cannot offer.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will assess your existing cameras to see if they can be integrated into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade your current 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI-driven security network. We always recommend wired systems over wireless for Shenstone homes, as they are more reliable and cannot be disabled by the Wi-Fi jammers that are increasingly used by modern burglars.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deter criminals automatically. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which learns your home's activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face or shape. The final layer is Active Intervention: if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates high-intensity lighting. This escalating response is designed to unnerve intruders and force them to leave before they can cause any damage.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles the AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only using the cloud for secure storage and remote access. Your data belongs to you, and we never sell it to third parties. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks, giving you total control and peace of mind, no matter where you are.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door. scOS is a comprehensive, whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell might record a package being stolen, scOS uses MotionX to detect an intruder the moment they enter your property, long before they reach the door. Furthermore, scOS doesn't require you to be available to respond to an alert; it handles the intervention automatically using external IoT speakers and lighting. For Shenstone residents, scOS provides a much higher level of security that proactively stops crime rather than just recording it.

Shenstone’s excellent rail links make it a popular choice for commuters, but this also means many homes are empty during the day. scOS is perfect for this lifestyle. Our Presence Simulation feature makes your home look occupied even when you're in Birmingham or Lichfield, acting as a powerful passive deterrent. Additionally, you can use scOS Director to ask natural questions like 'Has anyone been to the back door today?' giving you a quick and easy way to check on your home from your phone during your commute.

Shenstone’s proximity to major roads can make it a target for vehicle-related crime. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically scans the number plates of any vehicle entering your driveway. It checks these against the national database to identify cloned plates or vehicles that don't match their registered description. If a suspicious vehicle is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This provides an essential layer of protection, helping to identify potential threats before they even step out of their car and onto your property.

We understand that Shenstone has a variety of property types, from modern houses to more traditional homes. Our professional UK installation team is trained to install the system discreetly and efficiently, typically completing the job in 4-6 hours. We use high-quality, wired connections for maximum reliability and route all cables professionally to ensure the aesthetic of your home is maintained. The Intelligence Hub is compact and can be tucked away, while the external IoT speakers are positioned to be effective without being intrusive. We ensure your home is protected by the latest AI technology without compromising its appearance.
