Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your misfortune for later review. scOS transforms your security into an active deterrent using MotionX technology, which distinguishes between 'important activity'—like a person lurking near your outbuildings—and irrelevant motion like swaying trees or foxes. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily bypassed motion masks, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated lighting and voice warnings the moment a genuine threat is detected, ensuring you aren't just documenting a crime, but preventing one entirely.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can turn your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated AI network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced MotionX and vehicle recognition layers without the need for a total system overhaul.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-tier deterrent strategy. Firstly, Presence Simulation makes your home appear occupied by mimicking natural human activity patterns inside, which is the most effective way to discourage 'casing.' Secondly, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour at your property boundary, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or hood. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates an escalating response: instant illumination followed by clear, authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach stops criminals long before they reach your front door.

We take a 'privacy-first' approach to your security. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub before being securely escalated to our UK-based data centres. We are 100% UK-owned and operated, ensuring full GDPR compliance and that your private footage never leaves the country. Unlike many smart home brands, scOS will never sell your data to third parties. You retain total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you someone is already at your door, which is often too late. scOS provides comprehensive property intelligence that covers your entire perimeter, including driveways and gardens. While a doorbell might capture a package thief in the act, scOS uses proactive AI to detect and deter an intruder the moment they step onto your land. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a virtual security guard who never sleeps.

For Shurdington residents commuting to Cheltenham or GCHQ, Presence Simulation is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it learns and mimics your actual internal activity patterns, making your home look genuinely occupied while you're at work. This discourages burglars who target empty commuter homes during the day, providing peace of mind that your property looks lived-in even when you're stuck on the A46.

Living near a busy artery like the A46 can cause traditional CCTV to trigger constant alerts from passing cars. MotionX solves this by ignoring 'unimportant' motion. It focuses specifically on activity within your property boundaries, such as a person walking up your driveway or a vehicle pulling into your space. You get the security you need without the annoyance of constant, irrelevant notifications from village traffic.

scOS features DVLA-linked vehicle recognition, which is ideal for Shurdington homes with driveways. The system automatically logs the registration of every vehicle that enters your property and checks it against the DVLA database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious registration is detected, scOS can alert you immediately, providing a critical early warning against organised vehicle theft.
