Most CCTV systems are 'passive,' meaning they only record footage for you to look at after a crime has been committed. scOS is 'proactive'—it is designed to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. We use MotionX technology, which is a revolutionary way of detecting activity. Unlike standard motion sensors that trigger for every cat or bird in the Meon Valley, MotionX ignores 'noise' and only alerts you to 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your home. It requires no manual zones or tripwires because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice deterrents, stopping intruders before they even reach your door.

Yes, scOS is highly flexible and brand-agnostic. If you already have a wired IP camera system—such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink—we can usually integrate it with our scOS Intelligence Hub. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing setup to ensure compatibility. This allows Swanmore homeowners to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need for a complete hardware overhaul. By connecting your current cameras to scOS, you instantly add features like MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive voice deterrents, turning your existing 'dumb' cameras into a sophisticated, proactive security network.

scOS uses a three-tier approach to keep your property safe. First is Presence Simulation: the AI learns your home's normal activity and mimics it when you're away, making your house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies suspicious human activity at your property boundary with incredible accuracy, ignoring animals and weather. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, scOS triggers an escalating response using automatic lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This combination of making the home look lived-in and providing an immediate, vocal challenge to anyone on your land is far more effective at deterring criminals than a simple silent alarm or a recording-only system.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and we take data privacy very seriously. All your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We never sell your data to third parties. scOS uses a hybrid 'Local + Cloud' processing model; the Intelligence Hub on your property processes the AI locally for maximum speed and privacy, while the cloud is used for secure remote access and alerts. You have total control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. For residents in Swanmore, this means your security data stays within the UK and under your total control at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it shows you who is at your door, but it doesn't protect the rest of your property. scOS is a complete home intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. Doorbells are often wireless and can be easily bypassed or jammed, whereas scOS uses professional wired connections for maximum reliability. Furthermore, scOS is proactive. While a doorbell might send you a notification while someone is already stealing your car, scOS uses MotionX to detect them the moment they step onto your driveway and uses voice deterrents to stop them. For a village like Swanmore, scOS offers the comprehensive, professional-grade protection that a simple doorbell gadget cannot match.

Swanmore's rural setting means many properties have outbuildings, stables, or large garages that are often targets for theft. scOS is perfect for these layouts because our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, including these peripheral structures. MotionX is specifically tuned to ignore the local wildlife of the Meon Valley while remaining hyper-vigilant for human intruders. By installing scOS, you can protect your entire estate, ensuring that any approach to a barn or shed triggers the same proactive voice deterrents and light responses as an approach to your front door, providing total peace of mind for rural homeowners.

Vehicle theft is a concern in any affluent village. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which scans the registration plates of any vehicle entering your property. It checks these against the national database to identify cloned plates or unrecognised vehicles. If a suspicious car pulls into your driveway, scOS can immediately alert you or trigger a deterrent response. This is an invaluable tool for Swanmore residents, as it provides an early warning of potential 'scouting' by criminals and helps protect your vehicles from being targeted by organised gangs who often frequent rural areas.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you talk to your security system. Instead of hunting through hours of video, you can ask, 'Was there anyone near the garage last night?' or 'Did the gardener arrive on time?' The AI understands the context of your property and gives you a direct answer. For Swanmore residents who may be away for the day in Winchester or Southampton, this provides an easy way to stay connected to your home. It’s like having a digital security guard that you can chat with at any time, giving you instant information and total confidence in your home's safety.
