Traditional CCTV is a 'passive' witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an 'active' intelligence system. While standard cameras rely on motion masks that trigger for every passing cat or swaying branch, scOS uses MotionX. This revolutionary technology focuses only on 'important activity,' meaning it ignores cobwebs, spiders, and wind while instantly recognising a human presence. Because it understands your property boundaries automatically, it doesn't just record—it monitors and intervenes the moment a threat is detected. This provides a proactive shield that old-fashioned systems simply cannot match, ensuring that you are only alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern, with zero false alarms.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning it can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into a highly intelligent security network. We are compatible with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between four to six hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure it meets the technical requirements for our Intelligence Hub. By upgrading your existing setup with scOS, you gain all the benefits of proactive AI monitoring and voice deterrence without needing to replace every camera on your property, making it a cost-effective way to achieve elite-level security.

scOS employs a three-tier deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation uses AI to mimic human activity inside your home, making it look occupied even when you're away at work or on holiday. Second, our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—it recognises a person even if they are trying to hide their face or crawling, ignoring animals or wind. Finally, if a threat is confirmed, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers to drive intruders away before they touch your door. This proactive approach ensures that criminals are identified and deterred long before they can cause any damage to your property.

At scOS, we take your privacy as seriously as your security. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are a 100% UK-based company. All your video data and personal information are stored in secure UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the heavy lifting locally on your property, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. Most importantly, your data belongs to you; we never sell your information to third parties or use it for anything other than protecting your home and providing you with the best possible service.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they've already arrived, which is often too late to prevent a crime. scOS offers whole-property protection that starts at your boundary, not your doorstep. While a doorbell might catch a package thief in the act, scOS uses MotionX and proactive boundary detection to spot suspicious behaviour before an intruder even reaches your home. With features like Presence Simulation and escalating voice warnings from external speakers, scOS is designed to stop a break-in from happening, whereas a doorbell merely provides a recording of the event after the fact. It is the difference between a witness and a guard.

Welham Green's proximity to the M25 makes it a hotspot for 'relay' thefts, where criminals use signal boosters to steal keyless cars. scOS provides a critical layer of defence by monitoring your driveway 24/7. Our MotionX technology detects anyone approaching your vehicles at night, even if they are trying to stay in the shadows. The moment a person is detected near your car, scOS can trigger an instant light response and a voice warning, alerting the thief that they have been spotted. This immediate intervention is often enough to make them flee before they can even attempt to relay your key signal, protecting your high-value assets.

Yes, our DVLA Vehicle Recognition is a powerful tool for Welham Green residents. The system automatically scans the registration plates of vehicles entering your property and checks them against the national database. If a vehicle is identified as having cloned plates or is not on your 'authorised' list, scOS will alert you immediately. This is particularly useful for identifying suspicious vehicles that may be 'casing' the neighbourhood. By knowing exactly who is entering your drive, you can take proactive steps to secure your home long before a potential intruder even steps out of their vehicle.

Unlike many DIY systems that rely on vulnerable WiFi signals, scOS prioritises wired connections. Professional criminals often use 'jammers' to disable wireless cameras and doorbells, leaving your home unprotected. Because scOS uses wired IP cameras, it is virtually impossible to jam. Our Intelligence Hub also features local processing, meaning that even if an intruder attempts to cut your internet line, the system will continue to function, triggering local alarms, lights, and voice deterrents. This 'wired-over-wireless' philosophy ensures that your Welham Green home remains a fortress, even against sophisticated criminal tactics.
