Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which doesn't just see movement—it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex 'motion masks' to avoid alerts from swaying trees or passing cars, MotionX works out of the box to identify 'important activity.' It ignores spiders, cobwebs, and wind, focusing solely on human behaviour. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record; it intervenes. It uses external IoT speakers to deliver AI-driven voice warnings and triggers instant illumination to deter the intruder before they ever reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic. If you have a modern, wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can likely transform those 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent AI network. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. By connecting your current cameras to the scOS Hub, we enable features like MotionX detection and DVLA vehicle recognition on your existing feeds. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the cost of replacing every camera on your property, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for wired connectivity.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to stop criminals in their tracks. The first layer is Presence Simulation; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied to anyone watching. The second layer is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property boundary—even if the intruder is wearing a mask or trying to hide their shape. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system initiates Active Intervention. This involves escalating responses, starting with automatic lighting and moving to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By intervening early, scOS prevents the crime from happening rather than just documenting it.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Your data remains yours; we never sell your information to third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed the button or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell covers a few square metres, scOS monitors your entire boundary, including side gates, gardens, and driveways. More importantly, scOS is designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell might capture a recording of a package thief, scOS uses AI to detect that person the moment they step onto your land, deterring them with lights and voice warnings before they get near your door. It’s a comprehensive security solution versus a simple digital peephole.

Sibford Gower is a beautiful, desirable village, but this can unfortunately attract organised criminals looking for high-value targets. scOS is designed to counter this with Activity Pattern Recognition. Our AI learns what is 'normal' for your property—the times you usually arrive home, the typical movement of your family, and even the regular visits from your gardener. When it detects an anomaly—such as a stranger scouting the perimeter at 2 AM or a suspicious vehicle lingering nearby—it flags it immediately. This allows for a proactive response before a crime is even attempted.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at protecting your vehicles. Our DVLA vehicle recognition system monitors your driveway and can identify suspicious cars or cloned plates in real-time. Furthermore, because scOS uses a wired setup, it is immune to 'signal jammers' which are often used by tech-savvy car thieves to disable wireless security systems. By combining AI-driven recognition with a tamper-proof wired connection, scOS provides the highest level of protection for your vehicles in Sibford Gower.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was out?' or 'Did the delivery arrive safely?' The Director will scan your footage and provide a clear, intelligent summary. For Sibford Gower residents, this means you can stay informed about your home's security with zero effort, getting the answers you need in seconds without ever having to scroll through hours of video.
