scOS represents a generational leap over traditional CCTV. Most systems are 'passive,' meaning they only record footage for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is 'proactive,' using AI to monitor your property in real-time and intervene before a break-in happens. Our MotionX technology is the core of this; it eliminates the frustration of false alarms caused by wind, rain, or animals by focusing only on 'important activity.' Unlike standard cameras that require you to draw 'zones,' scOS automatically understands your property boundaries. When it detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record; it responds with escalating voice deterrents and lighting, acting as a digital guard that protects your home 24/7 without the need for constant human monitoring.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, allowing us to upgrade your existing wired IP cameras into a high-intelligence security network. We work with all major professional brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation—which is a clean, single-day process taking 4-6 hours—our engineers will integrate your current cameras with our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub adds our advanced AI layers, such as covered face detection and DVLA vehicle recognition, to your existing hardware. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective way for residents in Tutshill and Sedbury to achieve elite-level security without the waste of replacing perfectly good camera hardware.

Our deterrence strategy is built on three intelligent layers. First is Presence Simulation: scOS learns your daily habits and mimics them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural pattern—to make your home look occupied. Second is our MotionX AI, which identifies people even if they are attempting to hide their faces or change their silhouette. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and activates high-intensity lighting. This escalating response is key; it signals to the intruder that they have been spotted by an active system that is tracking their every move, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

Your privacy is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based operation, from our support teams to our data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data is never sold or shared with third parties. We use a unique 'Local + Cloud' processing model. The scOS Intelligence Hub at your home processes the majority of the AI data locally, ensuring lightning-fast response times and keeping your most sensitive data on-site. Only when necessary—such as for remote alerts or cloud backup—is data sent to our secure UK servers. You have full access to 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks, all managed through an encrypted, secure interface.

A video doorbell is essentially a 'digital peephole' that only sees what's directly in front of it, often after the person has already pressed the button. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary, from the back garden to the driveway, and uses AI to stop criminals before they ever reach your door. Unlike doorbells, which are often wireless and easily jammed, scOS uses professional wired connections for 100% reliability. While a doorbell might tell you that your car has been broken into, scOS uses DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive voice deterrents to prevent the thief from even getting near your vehicle.

Being on the border between Gloucestershire and Wales, Tutshill and Sedbury can be vulnerable to 'cross-border' criminals who use the A48 and the M48 for quick escapes. scOS is uniquely equipped for this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system can identify vehicles entering your driveway and check their registrations against the DVLA database, flagging cloned plates or vehicles that don't belong. This intelligence is vital for border communities, as it provides an extra layer of screening that traditional systems simply cannot offer, helping to secure your property against organised vehicle theft.

Gloucestershire Constabulary does an excellent job, but rural and semi-rural villages like Sedbury can face longer response times than urban centres. scOS fills that gap by providing immediate, autonomous intervention. You don't have to wait for a patrol to arrive; the system's voice deterrents and lighting responses act instantly to drive intruders away. By the time a criminal has even reached your perimeter, scOS has already begun its escalating response, providing a level of protection that is active and immediate, regardless of how far away the nearest police unit might be.
