scOS represents a paradigm shift from traditional CCTV. While standard systems are passive—recording events for you to discover later—scOS is an active participant in your home's safety. It features MotionX, our proprietary AI that eliminates the frustration of false alarms caused by wind in the trees or pets in the garden. Unlike older systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically learns your property boundaries. It doesn't just detect motion; it identifies 'important activity,' such as a person lingering near a window or someone attempting to hide their face. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it responds with escalating light and voice deterrents. This transformation from a recording device to an intelligent, proactive guardian ensures that your Stewkley home is protected by a system that understands the difference between a neighbour and a threat.

In most cases, yes. scOS is built to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can integrate with the majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we connect them to our Intelligence Hub, instantly upgrading them with MotionX AI, presence simulation, and our escalating response protocols. This allows you to leverage your previous investments while gaining the cutting-edge proactive protection that scOS provides. We focus on the intelligence layer, turning your 'dumb' cameras into a smart, unified security network that actively defends your perimeter.

Our deterrence strategy is multi-layered and highly effective. It begins with Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic your typical home activity—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern—to make your home look occupied even when you're away. If a trespasser enters your property, our MotionX technology identifies them immediately, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The system then initiates an Active Intervention: external lights flash to draw attention, and external IoT speakers deliver escalating voice warnings. These warnings are designed to let the intruder know they have been detected by an AI-monitored system, usually causing them to flee immediately. By combining the appearance of an occupied home with immediate, vocalised detection, scOS stops most crimes before they ever reach the point of entry.

We take data privacy extremely seriously, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Your data never leaves the country; it is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and stored in secure UK-based data centres that are fully GDPR compliant. Unlike many consumer-grade cameras that send footage to overseas servers, scOS ensures your private life stays private. You have total control over your recordings, which are available 24/7 for up to two weeks. We do not sell your data to third parties, and our conversational AI, scOS Director, allows you to query your own data securely. By keeping everything—from our engineers to our servers—within the UK, we provide a level of trust and security that international brands simply cannot match.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door, but it rarely stops a determined criminal. scOS is a comprehensive security ecosystem that protects your entire property. While doorbells are often wireless and susceptible to signal jamming, scOS uses reliable wired connections. More importantly, scOS is proactive. A doorbell might send a notification to your phone while you're busy, but scOS will have already detected the intruder at the boundary and used voice warnings to drive them away. It covers every angle of your home, not just the front door, and uses sophisticated AI to distinguish between a delivery person and a suspicious loiterer, providing a much higher level of security and peace of mind.

Stewkley is famous for its exceptionally long high street, which can make homes feel exposed to passing traffic. scOS is perfect for this layout because our AI-driven boundary detection automatically identifies where your private property ends and the public pavement begins. You won't get constant alerts from people walking their dogs or cars driving past; MotionX ignores the 'noise' of the high street and only alerts you if someone actually steps onto your driveway or enters your garden. This precision is vital for homes in Stewkley, ensuring your security is tight without being a nuisance to you or your neighbours.

Many properties in Stewkley feature long, private driveways that can be difficult to monitor with standard systems. scOS excels here by using DVLA-linked vehicle recognition. Our system can identify cars entering your driveway, checking registrations against the DVLA database to flag suspicious or cloned plates. Combined with our escalating voice deterrents, scOS can challenge anyone who pulls onto your property before they even get close to your front door. This 'outer perimeter' protection is essential for larger village plots, providing an early warning system that passive CCTV simply cannot offer.

Absolutely. We understand that Stewkley has many beautiful, historic homes where aesthetics are important. Our professional UK installers are experts at discreetly fitting wired systems, ensuring that cables are hidden and cameras are placed effectively but unobtrusively. Because scOS can often work with your existing cameras, we can also upgrade your security without needing to install additional hardware on your exterior walls. Our goal is to provide state-of-the-art AI protection that enhances your home's safety without detracting from its character.
