Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device—it’s a 'witness' that only helps after a crime has been committed. scOS is proactive intelligence. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' rather than just movement. This means it won't be triggered by a fox in your garden or the wind in the trees, but it will instantly recognise a person approaching your home. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated lighting and voice warnings to stop a crime in progress, turning your security from a simple camera into an active digital guard.

In most cases, yes. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with almost any wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. Our professional UK installers will assess your current setup during their 4-6 hour visit. We connect your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, which instantly upgrades them with our MotionX AI, boundary detection, and escalating response features. This allows you to benefit from the UK's most advanced AI security without the cost of replacing all your current hardware, though we can provide new high-spec cameras if required.

scOS deters criminals using a three-stage proactive strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which is vital for Twyford's many commuters; the system mimics your internal activity patterns to make your home look occupied while you're at work or away. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious human behaviour at your property boundaries with zero false alarms. Finally, if an intruder persists, the system uses active intervention—triggering bright lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to any criminal that your home is a high-risk target, causing them to flee.

We take your privacy seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for speed and privacy, with only critical security events being escalated to our secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We never sell your data or share it with third parties. You have full access to your 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks via our secure app, ensuring you have total oversight of your property while knowing your personal data remains protected under strict UK law.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool with a narrow field of view, often only showing you a crime as it happens at your front door. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary—driveways, side gates, and gardens—and uses MotionX to detect threats before they reach your house. While a doorbell might send you a notification of a package theft, scOS is designed to prevent the thief from ever stepping onto your driveway. It’s the difference between a simple notification and a proactive security force.

For Twyford residents using the Elizabeth Line or GWR, 'Presence Simulation' is a game-changer. Most burglars scout for empty homes during commuting hours. scOS doesn't just use simple timers; it learns your home's natural rhythm and simulates human activity inside the house while you're away. This makes it virtually impossible for a criminal to tell if you're in the office or in the living room. It provides peace of mind that your home is actively defending itself from the moment you leave for the station until you return.

Twyford has seen a rise in sophisticated vehicle thefts where criminals use 'cloned' plates to avoid detection. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which logs every registration that enters your property and checks it against the national database. If a vehicle with suspicious or mismatched plates is detected, the system can alert you immediately. This provides Thames Valley Police with high-quality, actionable evidence and acts as a massive deterrent for car thieves targeting high-value vehicles in the area.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that makes managing your security as easy as sending a text. You can ask natural questions like, 'Director, was there any unusual activity in the garden last night?' or 'Did the gardener arrive at 10 AM?' The AI understands your property and provides instant, accurate summaries of events. This saves you from scrolling through hours of footage and gives you a clear, concise overview of your home's security, all through a simple chat interface.
