Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to prevent it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts like a digital security guard for your Sherston home. The difference is our MotionX technology, which ignores the 'noise' of swaying trees or pets and focuses exclusively on important human activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw boxes on a screen, scOS automatically learns your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it intervenes with automated light and voice responses to turn intruders away before they can cause damage.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can take your existing wired IP cameras—whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, or others—and make them 'smart.' During our professional installation, we integrate your current hardware with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub provides the AI processing power that your old cameras lack, enabling features like MotionX detection and scOS Director. This is a cost-effective way for Sherston residents to upgrade to the UK's most advanced AI security without the expense of a completely new camera suite.

scOS uses a multi-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look lived-in by mimicking your internal activity patterns while you're out. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies people regardless of how they are moving or if they are trying to hide their face. Finally, we use Active Intervention: if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers external lights and authoritative voice warnings via IoT speakers. This immediate, escalating response signals to the criminal that they are being monitored by an active system, which is far more effective at stopping a break-in than a simple siren or a passive camera.

Your privacy is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we never sell your data to third parties. Most of the AI processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub within your home, only using our secure cloud for remote access and advanced analysis. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure, encrypted platform.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides 360-degree protection for your entire property. While doorbells rely on battery power and WiFi—which can be easily jammed or run out of charge—scOS is a professionally installed, hardwired system. It doesn't just show you who is at the door; it proactively identifies and deters intruders anywhere on your land, using AI to stop crime before it reaches your doorstep. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a complete security team.

Sherston is known for its beautiful Cotswold stone architecture, and we understand the importance of maintaining your home's aesthetic. Our professional UK installers are experts at discreetly fitting scOS. We use wired connections for maximum security, but we ensure that cabling is hidden and cameras are placed unobtrusively. Because scOS can work with almost any camera brand, we can often select hardware that blends perfectly with the stone and character of your property, providing 21st-century protection without compromising Sherston's historic charm.

In a close-knit village like Sherston, privacy is a common concern. scOS is designed with this in mind. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, meaning the proactive deterrents—like the voice warnings and lights—are only triggered when someone is actually on your land. It won't shout at a neighbour walking their dog past your gate or a delivery driver on the pavement. This precision ensures that you remain a good neighbour while maintaining an ironclad perimeter for your own home.

Yes, scOS is perfect for properties with outbuildings, stables, or workshops. Because the system uses AI to monitor your entire property boundary, it can protect your garage or garden office just as effectively as your main house. The MotionX technology is particularly good at monitoring these quieter areas, as it can distinguish between a fox moving near your stables and a person attempting to break in. You can even ask scOS Director, our conversational AI, for updates on specific areas, such as 'Is the workshop secure?'
