Traditional CCTV is passive; it simply records a crime for you to watch later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to stop the crime before it happens. Most systems use basic 'motion detection' that triggers for wind, rain, or animals, leading to 'notification fatigue.' Our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity' only. It recognises people regardless of their movement or clothing, without needing manual zones. Furthermore, scOS actively intervenes by detecting threats at the boundary, triggering lights, and delivering voice warnings via external IoT speakers to scare off intruders instantly.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with the majority of wired IP cameras. If your Urchfont home is already equipped with cameras from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, or Ubiquiti, we can typically integrate them. During our professional 4-6 hour installation, our UK-based engineers will assess your current setup and connect it to our Intelligence Hub. This upgrades your existing cameras with our MotionX AI and proactive response capabilities, giving you a state-of-the-art security system without necessarily needing to replace all your existing hardware.

scOS uses three layers of deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your daily routines and mimics them when you're away (like internal lighting patterns), making your home look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious activity at your boundary with incredible accuracy. Third is Active Intervention: if an intruder persists, the system triggers escalating responses, including bright lights and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive approach stops criminals at the edge of your property, rather than just filming them as they break in.

We take data privacy very seriously. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres. The system uses a hybrid approach: intelligence is processed locally on your Hub for speed, then escalated to the cloud for secure storage. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data is never sold or shared. You have full access to 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks, ensuring you have the evidence you need while maintaining total control over your personal information.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only covers your front door. scOS provides comprehensive, whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already knocking, scOS detects them the moment they step onto your property boundary. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and covered face detection, scOS offers a professional-grade security shield that a consumer doorbell cannot match. It’s designed to prevent a break-in across your entire property, not just monitor your deliveries.

Urchfont is a beautiful, quiet village, but its rural nature can mean that help is further away if an incident occurs. scOS is designed to be your first line of defence. By using AI to detect and actively deter intruders the moment they cross your boundary, the system provides an immediate response that doesn't wait for the police. This is especially valuable in Wiltshire's rural areas, where the mere presence of an intelligent, vocal security system is often enough to make an opportunist criminal move on to an easier target.

Yes, scOS is perfect for properties with outbuildings, workshops, or oil tanks, which are common in Urchfont. Our AI automatically detects your property boundaries, including these structures. If the system detects 'important activity' near your workshop at 3 AM, it can trigger an escalating response. You can also use the scOS Director AI to ask specific questions, such as 'Has anyone been near the oil tank today?' providing you with instant peace of mind without having to scroll through hours of footage.

We understand that Urchfont has many beautiful heritage and period properties. Our professional UK installers are experienced in performing 'clean' installs that respect the architecture of your home. We use wired connections for reliability (as wireless can be jammed), but we take great care to hide cables and ensure the Intelligence Hub is placed discreetly. We can often use smaller, high-quality cameras or integrate with your existing ones to ensure your home's character is preserved while its security is modernised.
