Most security systems in Shepshed are passive, meaning they only record footage of a crime for you to watch later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your property—while ignoring irrelevant motion like wind or local wildlife. There are no manual zones to set up; the AI automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is identified, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice warnings from external speakers. It’s designed to stop a crime before it happens, rather than just documenting it for Leicestershire Police.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and compatible with most wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, and Axis. If your Shepshed home already has a wired system, we can usually integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'upcycles' your existing cameras, giving them the power of our advanced AI. During our professional installation—which takes about 4-6 hours—our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to proactive AI security without the expense of replacing all your hardware, provided it meets the necessary wired standards.

scOS uses a three-tier deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns while you're away. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals even if they are trying to hide their shape or cover their faces. Finally, there is Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, the system triggers instant lighting and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. This combination of looking occupied and providing a direct, vocal response is highly effective at stopping intruders at the boundary.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, with all data centres, support, and operations located in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold to third parties. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub processes most data locally on your property for speed and privacy. Only when necessary is data escalated to our secure UK cloud for advanced analysis. You have 24/7 access to your footage, which is stored for up to two weeks, ensuring you have total control over your home's data.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door. For Shepshed homes with driveways, side gates, or garages, this leaves most of the property vulnerable. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary and uses MotionX to detect threats anywhere on your land. While a doorbell might notify you when someone is already at your door, scOS uses proactive light and voice deterrents to stop them at the edge of your property. It offers comprehensive coverage that a single doorbell camera simply cannot match.

Shepshed's location right next to the M1 makes it a target for vehicle thieves who want a quick escape route. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies the registration of any car entering your property and checks it against the national database. It can flag unrecognised vehicles or those with cloned plates. This allows the scOS Director to alert you to suspicious vehicles loitering near your driveway. It’s a powerful tool for protecting your cars, providing a level of intelligence and detail that standard CCTV systems simply don't offer.

Many Shepshed properties have garages or outbuildings that store valuable tools, bikes, or equipment. scOS is ideal for protecting these areas because its AI automatically detects property boundaries. If someone approaches your garage under the cover of darkness, the MotionX technology will identify the human shape and trigger an immediate light response and voice deterrent. This proactive approach ensures that your outbuildings are just as secure as your main home, providing peace of mind for your most valuable possessions.

Traditional motion-sensing cameras often trigger false alarms for cats, foxes, or even spiders on the lens. scOS uses MotionX, which is specifically trained to ignore animals and environmental factors like swaying branches. It focuses only on 'important activity'—human beings and vehicles. This means you won't be bothered by useless notifications in the middle of the night, and you can trust that if scOS alerts you, there is a genuine reason to check your cameras. This is especially useful in Shepshed where local wildlife is common.
