Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being violated, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent crime before it happens. While standard systems rely on 'motion masks' that trigger false alarms from spiders or wind, our MotionX technology uses advanced spatial awareness to identify 'important activity'—specifically human behaviour—with zero false alarms. Instead of just filming a break-in, scOS detects the approach, identifies the threat, and uses escalating responses like light and voice deterrents to turn the intruder away before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a high-intelligence security network. If you have a wired IP camera system (such as Hikvision, Dahua, or Reolink), our Intelligence Hub can usually integrate with it during our professional single-day installation. During your initial assessment, our UK-based engineers will verify your hardware's compatibility to ensure it can support our advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition.

scOS employs a three-layered proactive defence strategy. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily habits to realistically mimic human activity inside your home when you're out, making the property appear occupied to anyone watching. Second, our MotionX AI monitors your boundaries 24/7, instantly recognising people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers an active intervention: external IoT speakers deliver AI-generated voice warnings while smart lighting illuminates the intruder, creating an escalating response that forces criminals to flee.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres, ensuring full GDPR compliance. Unlike many international brands, we never sell your data or allow third-party access; your footage and activity patterns remain entirely under your control, accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While doorbells are often wireless and easily jammed, scOS uses professional wired connections for 24/7 reliability. More importantly, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes, using AI to detect suspicious behaviour across your whole garden or driveway and stopping a crime before the intruder ever gets close to your front door.

We understand that Tackley residents value the aesthetic of their homes. Our professional UK-based installers are experts in 'invisible' wiring and discreet camera placement. We ensure that the hardware complements your property's architecture while the Intelligence Hub remains tucked away, providing state-of-the-art protection without compromising the village's character.

Tackley's crime rate is exceptionally low, which is exactly why scOS is so effective here. Our system is designed to maintain that status quo by ensuring your home never looks like an easy target. With Presence Simulation, your home appears active even when you're dining out in Woodstock or away on holiday, deterring the 'scouting' phase of a burglary before it ever begins.

scOS is perfect for properties with outbuildings, stables, or detached garages common in Oxfordshire. Our AI monitors these structures as part of your primary boundary, using MotionX to detect suspicious activity around your assets. You can even use 'scOS Director' to ask natural questions like, 'Was there any activity near the garage last night?' for instant peace of mind.
