UK's first autonomous crime prevention system
Starting from 63p/day
No obligation
Every time you leave home, there's that nagging worry. Did I lock up properly? Is someone watching the house? You shouldn't have to feel anxious about your own home.
Something happened in the garden last night. Now you're scrubbing through 8 hours of footage trying to find 30 seconds of activity. Life's too short for this.
Your phone buzzes constantly. A cat. Cobwebs. Headlights. After a while you stop checking, which defeats the entire point of having cameras.
Not motion. Not shadows. scOS detects the kind of activity a trained security guard would notice. When your phone buzzes, it matters.
Family, friends, the builder—scOS learns who belongs. No repetitive alerts for familiar faces. Only strangers trigger attention.
Message scOS for pre-edited clips across all cameras, or ask when the bin was last emptied. It's like having staff you can actually talk to.
No hidden fees. No premium tiers. All features included from day one.

Everything you need to know about scOS installation in Stratford St Mary
Traditional CCTV is a passive tool that only records what happens; scOS is an active intelligence system designed to prevent crime. Our MotionX AI is a game-changer, focusing only on 'important activity' and ignoring false alarms like animals or wind-blown foliage. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't require you to draw 'zones'; it automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS proactively intervenes with automatic lights and voice warnings. It also features scOS Director, a conversational AI that lets you ask questions about your home's security as if you were talking to a real person.
Yes, scOS is brand agnostic and compatible with most high-quality wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing cameras. If they meet our technical standards, we can integrate them into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your existing 'dumb' cameras into a proactive, AI-powered security network, giving you all the benefits of our advanced detection and intervention features without the need for a full hardware replacement in your Stratford St Mary home.
scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic your internal lighting and activity patterns when you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, our MotionX AI provides highly accurate detection, identifying people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third, the system uses Active Intervention: if an intruder crosses your boundary, scOS triggers instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This escalating response is designed to make any intruder feel exposed and watched, forcing them to leave before they can attempt a break-in.
Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate action, and only escalates to the cloud for secure storage and remote access. You have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks and can only be accessed by you through our secure, encrypted app.
A video doorbell is a reactive device that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides proactive, 360-degree protection for your entire property. It monitors your driveways, gardens, and side entrances, using AI to intervene and stop a crime before it happens. Because scOS uses professional-grade wired cameras, it is also much more reliable than wireless doorbells, which can be easily disabled by Wi-Fi jammers. It’s a comprehensive security solution that protects your whole home, not just the front door.
Stratford St Mary has an exceptionally low property crime rate of 15.79 per 1,000 residents. However, this can lead to a false sense of security, making the village an attractive target for opportunistic thieves who expect residents to be less vigilant. scOS ensures you don't become a 'soft target.' By maintaining a constant, AI-driven watch over your property, scOS provides a powerful deterrent that keeps your home safe and preserves the peace of the Dedham Vale, even when you're not thinking about security.
Stratford St Mary’s position near the A12 makes it easily accessible for criminals who may be scouting for high-value targets. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies suspicious vehicles and checks plates against the national database. This is a powerful tool for spotting 'scouting' vehicles that may be targeting homes in the village. By identifying these threats early and providing clear evidence to Suffolk Constabulary, scOS helps protect your property and the wider community from sophisticated vehicle and property crime.
Yes, scOS is ideal for protecting properties with outbuildings, workshops, or large gardens. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, so it can monitor your entire perimeter without needing manual setup. If an intruder is detected near your garage or garden shed, the system can trigger a localised response, such as turning on lights or issuing a voice warning, to stop them long before they reach your main house. This is particularly valuable for protecting expensive equipment or vehicles stored outside the main residence.
