Traditional CCTV is essentially a digital witness; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS transforms your security from passive recording to proactive protection using our proprietary MotionX technology. Unlike standard systems that trigger alerts for every swaying branch or passing cat, MotionX ignores 'junk' motion and focuses exclusively on important activity. It recognises human movement patterns instantly, even if someone is trying to hide their face or change their silhouette. Because it understands what it's seeing, scOS can trigger immediate deterrents like external voice warnings and lighting before a break-in occurs. You aren't just getting a video of a burglary; you're getting a system designed to prevent the incident from ever happening, all without the frustration of false alarms.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with the vast majority of professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your current 'dumb' cameras to our scOS Intelligence Hub, we can upgrade your existing setup with full AI capabilities, including MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. This allows you to benefit from world-class AI intelligence without the need to replace your entire physical infrastructure, provided your cameras are wired. We prefer wired connections over wireless to ensure your security cannot be compromised by WiFi jamming devices.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence that begins long before a criminal reaches your door. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your home's normal internal activity patterns and replicates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. If a prowler does approach, our MotionX technology identifies them immediately, regardless of whether they are wearing a mask or hood. This triggers the second layer: Active Intervention. Your property responds with automatic light illumination and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't generic recordings; the AI delivers specific warnings that let the intruder know they have been detected. This escalating response is designed to create a 'hostile' environment for the criminal, forcing them to abandon their attempt and move on to an easier target.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. Your data is processed locally on your scOS Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based cloud servers for advanced analysis and storage. We are 100% UK-based, meaning all our data centres, support staff, and engineers are located right here in Britain. We are fully GDPR compliant, and we believe your data belongs to you. We never sell your personal information or footage to third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely from anywhere in the world via our encrypted app. By keeping everything within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data protection and legal compliance for our customers.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed the button or triggered a sensor. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might show you a package being stolen, scOS is designed to stop the thief from even stepping onto your driveway. We use AI to auto-detect your property lines, providing 360-degree protection that a single door-facing camera cannot match. Furthermore, doorbells rely on simple motion detection which leads to constant false alerts, whereas scOS uses MotionX to filter out the noise. With scOS, you aren't just watching your front door; you are securing your entire home with a system that actively intervenes to prevent crime.

Wellesbourne’s location makes it a prime area for vehicle-related crime, often involving high-end cars. scOS features integrated DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which doesn't just record number plates but checks them against the national database. If a vehicle with cloned plates or a known suspicious history enters your property's boundary, scOS can alert you immediately. This is a vital tool for residents who want to protect their driveways from organised car thieves who often scout the area before striking. It turns your security system into an active intelligence tool that Warwickshire Police can use to track and identify criminals.

Wellesbourne is a close-knit village, and we know that privacy is important. scOS uses 'Person Recognition' which is based on behaviour and movement patterns, not biometric facial recognition. This means the system can distinguish between your family members and a stranger based on how they interact with the property, without ever storing sensitive biometric data. It’s a much more private way to manage security. Additionally, our AI boundary detection ensures that the system only monitors your property, ignoring public footpaths or your neighbour's garden, so you can stay secure without being a 'nosey neighbour'.

scOS is designed to be incredibly user-friendly. You don't need to be a tech expert to use it. Our 'scOS Director' feature allows you to interact with your system using natural language. You can simply ask, 'Was there anyone on the driveway this morning?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' and the AI will give you a clear, conversational answer. This makes managing your home security as easy as talking to a friend. During our professional installation, our engineers will set everything up and show you exactly how to use the app, ensuring you feel confident and secure from day one.
