Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. Our system uses MotionX technology, which doesn't just look for movement—it understands activity. Unlike old systems that require you to draw 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to ignore irrelevant movement while instantly identifying human threats. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just send a notification; it intervenes. Through automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, it challenges intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to transform 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. If you have existing wired IP cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate them. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to the scOS Intelligence Hub, you gain access to our full suite of AI features, including MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents, without needing to replace your entire infrastructure. It’s the most cost-effective way to upgrade to world-class home intelligence.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns to make the property appear occupied even when you're away, acting as a primary passive deterrent. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity' with zero false alarms. It recognises people even if they are hooded, masked, or attempting to crawl. Third is Active Intervention. If an unauthorised person enters your property boundaries, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder immediately, scOS removes the element of surprise and anonymity that criminals rely on.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses 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. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible anywhere in the world via our secure app. We provide the intelligence of a professional security team with the privacy of a local system.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or triggered a PIR sensor. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell only covers a few metres in front of your door, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. It uses AI to detect threats the moment they step onto your land, not just when they reach the entrance. Furthermore, doorbells rarely deter determined criminals. scOS proactively intervenes with lights and voice warnings to stop a crime before it happens. It’s a comprehensive security solution versus a simple digital peephole.

Stanbridge faces a property crime rate that is higher than the national average, often due to its proximity to Leighton Buzzard and major roads like the A5. In this environment, a passive camera isn't enough. scOS is designed to be a hard deterrent. By using MotionX to detect intruders the moment they cross your boundary and immediately challenging them with voice warnings, we break the 'script' that burglars follow. Most criminals in Bedfordshire are looking for an easy, quiet target. When your home 'speaks' back to them and floods the area with light, they almost always move on to a less protected property.

Vehicle theft is a significant part of property crime in Bedfordshire. scOS protects your vehicles using DVLA-linked recognition. The system monitors your driveway 24/7 and can identify if a vehicle with cloned plates or a known 'car-scouting' vehicle enters your property. Because scOS uses wired cameras, it is immune to the signal jammers that many modern car thieves use to disable wireless security systems. We provide a robust, un-jammable shield for your cars, ensuring that any attempt to approach them is met with an immediate, escalating response.

Yes, scOS is highly effective at identifying suspicious individuals even if they attempt to hide their identity. Our AI is trained to detect 'covered faces,' flagging anyone wearing a balaclava, hood, or mask. Furthermore, our Person Recognition doesn't rely on facial features alone; it looks at gait, body shape, and behaviour. This means that even if a criminal is fully covered, scOS still recognises them as a human threat and initiates the full deterrent protocol. In Stanbridge, where professional thieves may use concealment, this advanced detection is a vital layer of security.
