Standard CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with nothing but grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS transforms your security into a proactive guardian using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike traditional systems that rely on crude motion masks and trigger constant false alarms from swaying trees or passing cats, MotionX understands 'important activity.' It recognises human behaviour and property boundaries automatically, meaning it only alerts you when a genuine threat is detected. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes. By using external IoT speakers and automated lighting, the system actively challenges intruders before they even reach your door, providing a level of protection that a standard 'dumb' camera simply cannot match.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. We designed our Intelligence Hub to be compatible with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we can 'brain-swap' your system, turning your existing passive cameras into an intelligent, AI-driven network. This not only saves you money on hardware but also significantly reduces electronic waste. We prefer wired connections over wireless because they are far more reliable and cannot be defeated by the simple WiFi jamming devices that are increasingly used by modern burglars.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy designed to stop criminals at every stage of an attempted break-in. The first layer is Presence Simulation; when you are away, scOS uses AI to simulate natural human activity patterns inside your home, making it appear occupied to anyone scouting the area. If a prowler ignores this and enters your property, our MotionX technology instantly identifies them as a person, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or trying to hide their silhouette. This triggers the third layer: Active Intervention. The system automatically illuminates the area and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that let the intruder know they have been detected and their presence is being recorded, usually causing them to flee immediately.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy-first' approach to home intelligence. Unlike many consumer-grade security companies that ship your data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and then securely escalated to our UK-based data centres for cloud storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe that your data belongs to you. We never sell your information to third parties or use your footage for anything other than your own security. 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. Your home's privacy is as important to us as its security.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they have already arrived. In contrast, scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches your front door. While a doorbell might capture a package thief, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, detecting suspicious behaviour at the edge of your land. Because we use professional-grade wired cameras and external IoT speakers, we provide a much higher level of reliability and deterrent power. A doorbell cannot simulate your presence when you're on holiday, nor can it distinguish between a neighbour's cat and a person hiding their face with a balaclava. scOS offers proactive, escalating responses that turn your home into a hard target, rather than just a witness.

Affluent riverside villages like Sonning often attract unwanted attention from beyond the Thames Valley. scOS is ideal for these properties because it provides a comprehensive, property-wide defence. Our AI can monitor your entire boundary, including riverside access points, and can trigger an immediate response if suspicious activity is detected. This proactive approach is designed to stop crime before it even reaches your home, providing a level of security that is both sophisticated and effective. For Sonning residents, it means you can enjoy your riverside lifestyle with the peace of mind that your home is protected by the most advanced AI security available.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for protecting high-value cars. The system automatically reads registration plates and can check them against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a history of suspicious activity is detected near your property, scOS can alert you immediately. You can even use scOS Director to ask, 'What vehicles have been near the driveway today?' This proactive monitoring is essential for residents who want to protect their luxury vehicles from organised theft rings.

scOS Director is our revolutionary conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' or 'Did a white van pull up today?' The Director will scan your data and provide a concise, natural answer. For busy residents of Sonning, this is a massive time-saver and provides a level of intelligence that makes managing your home security simple and intuitive. It’s like having a digital security guard who is always on duty and ready to give you a full report.
