Most CCTV systems are passive, simply recording footage for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify threats in real-time. Unlike standard motion detection that triggers for every passing car or swaying branch, MotionX ignores the noise and focuses on 'important activity.' It recognises people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated lights and voice warnings to stop the intruder before they can cause damage.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and compatible with most professional wired IP camera systems, such as Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our UK-based installation team can typically integrate your existing cameras with our scOS Intelligence Hub in just 4-6 hours. This upgrade transforms your 'dumb' cameras into a proactive AI security network. We will assess your current setup during installation to ensure optimal coverage and performance, providing you with the most advanced protection available in Shinfield without needing to replace all your hardware.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied by mimicking your daily activity patterns inside the house when you're away. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour the moment someone enters your property boundary, identifying people regardless of their movement or attempts to hide their identity. Third, the system initiates an Active Intervention, using external lights and authoritative voice warnings from IoT speakers to tell the intruder they've been spotted. This combination is designed to stop a crime before it even starts.

We prioritise your privacy by keeping all data within the UK. Your scOS Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate response, and only escalates to our secure UK-based data centres for cloud storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared with third parties. You have complete control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive property protection, monitoring your entire boundary, including driveways and gardens. It uses AI to detect and deter intruders long before they reach your door. While a doorbell might capture a video of a theft, scOS is designed to prevent the theft from happening in the first place through proactive intervention and presence simulation.

Shinfield's proximity to the M4 makes it a target for professional thieves who use the motorway for quick access and escape. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration plates of vehicles entering your driveway against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a suspicious history is detected, the system alerts you immediately. This is a vital tool for Shinfield residents to identify and deter high-tech criminals before they can target your property.

With many Shinfield residents commuting to Reading or London, homes are often left unattended during the day. scOS's Presence Simulation is specifically designed for this. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns your actual habits and replicates them realistically. This makes your home appear occupied to anyone scouting the area, significantly reducing the chance of your property being targeted while you are at work or away on holiday.

Shinfield has seen significant new housing developments, which can often be targets for opportunistic crime. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which means the AI automatically understands the limits of your property without you needing to draw complex zones. This is perfect for new builds with modern layouts, ensuring the system provides robust protection for your specific plot while ignoring activity on the public road or in your neighbour's garden.
