Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool, but scOS is an active intelligence system. In commuter villages like Sonning Common, homes are often empty during the day, making them targets. scOS uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically people and vehicles—while ignoring false triggers like pets or moving trees. Unlike standard systems, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries and uses escalating responses, such as lights and voice deterrents, to stop an intruder before they even reach your door. It doesn't just record the crime; it works to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have a camera system at your Sonning Common property, our professional UK installers can integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This breathes new life into your existing hardware, adding advanced AI features like person recognition, DVLA vehicle checks, and scOS Director conversational AI without the need for a full system replacement.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which is vital for Sonning Common commuters; it makes your home look occupied by mimicking your usual activity patterns inside. Second, our MotionX AI detects suspicious behaviour, such as loitering or covered faces, with zero false alarms. Third, if someone enters your property, the system triggers Active Intervention—using external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and turning on lights. This immediate, escalating response signals to any intruder that they are being actively monitored, usually causing them to flee immediately.

We prioritise your privacy by keeping everything 100% UK-based. Your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the AI analysis locally for speed and privacy, only using our secure UK cloud for remote access and alerts. We never sell your data to third parties. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days and can be accessed securely from anywhere.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door and often triggers too late. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back garden, and uses AI to distinguish between family members and strangers. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from even stepping onto your property by using voice warnings and lights the moment they cross your boundary.

For residents who commute to Reading or London, leaving the house empty is a major concern. scOS Presence Simulation is a game-changer; it doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer, but learns your actual habits to create a realistic 'lived-in' look. Combined with our 24/7 AI monitoring, you can check in on your home via the scOS Director from your office or the train, asking natural questions like 'Is everything okay at home?' for total peace of mind.

scOS features integrated DVLA vehicle recognition, which is incredibly useful in villages like Sonning Common. The system identifies every vehicle that enters your driveway and checks its registration against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or one associated with suspicious activity is detected, you'll receive an immediate alert. This allows you to identify potential 'scouting' behaviour before a crime is even attempted, protecting your cars and your home.

Our installation is handled by professional UK-based engineers and typically takes 4-6 hours. We use wired connections for all our systems because they are far more reliable and secure than wireless alternatives, which can be easily jammed. We'll ensure all cabling is neat and hidden, and we'll spend time with you at the end of the day to set up the app and show you how to use the scOS Director to manage your new home intelligence.
