Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from a witness into a digital guard. Our proprietary MotionX technology is the core differentiator—it doesn't just look for 'motion' (which leads to endless false alarms from spiders or wind), but identifies 'important activity.' It recognises human forms regardless of how they move or if they try to conceal themselves. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it intervenes. Through automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers, the system actively deters intruders before they reach your door. While your old system gives you footage of a burglary, scOS is designed to ensure the burglary never takes place, providing a proactive shield for your Stetchworth home.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning we can often breathe new life into your existing hardware. If you have a wired IP camera system—whether it's Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti—our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it. During our professional UK-based installation process, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We transform these 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network by offloading the processing to our local Hub and secure UK cloud. This saves you the cost of a full hardware rip-and-replace while upgrading you to world-class AI protection. We focus on wired connections over wireless to ensure your security cannot be compromised by simple Wi-Fi jamming techniques, providing a robust, professional-grade solution.

scOS employs a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making your home appear occupied to anyone watching from the street. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property. Unlike basic sensors, it recognises people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, we use Active Intervention. If a threat persists, the system triggers instant illumination and escalating voice warnings via external IoT speakers. These aren't pre-recorded loops but AI-driven responses that let the intruder know they have been spotted. By combining the appearance of a busy home with immediate, intelligent reactions to trespassing, scOS makes your property an impossible target for criminals.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. Unlike many global brands that ship your data to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate action and then escalated to our secure UK-based data centres for storage and advanced analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your video feeds and personal information remain your property. We never sell your data to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app. By keeping everything within the UK—from our support teams to our servers—we provide a level of data sovereignty and security that international competitors simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is already at your front door, often when it's too late. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that protects your entire boundary. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS uses AI to monitor your whole garden, driveway, and side access points. More importantly, scOS is proactive. It doesn't just wait for a button press; it detects threats as they approach your property line and intervenes automatically. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS provides a level of professional security that a consumer-grade doorbell cannot reach. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief on your porch and preventing a burglar from ever stepping onto your driveway.

In an equestrian-focused area like Stetchworth, properties often have high-value equipment and outbuildings. scOS features Automatic Property Boundary Detection, which allows the AI to monitor your entire land, including stables and tack rooms. If an intruder is detected near these sensitive areas, the system can trigger a specific voice deterrent to warn them off immediately. This proactive approach is essential for protecting the high-value assets common in horse racing country.

Stetchworth properties often have staff, farriers, or trainers visiting regularly. scOS uses Person Recognition to learn the normal patterns of your property. It can distinguish between your regular visitors and a stranger loitering in a suspicious manner. While it doesn't use facial recognition, it understands 'who belongs' based on their behaviour and frequency of visits, allowing it to alert you only when something truly unusual is happening.

For residents who spend time away at race meetings or travelling, scOS provides the ultimate peace of mind. Our Presence Simulation doesn't just turn lights on; it replicates your actual living patterns inside the house, making it look truly lived-in. Combined with the ability to ask scOS Director for a status update from anywhere in the world, you can stay connected to your Stetchworth home no matter where the racing season takes you.
