Traditional CCTV is a passive system that simply records footage for later review. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that works to prevent crime in real-time. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity' rather than just motion, virtually eliminating false alarms from animals or wind. Unlike traditional systems, scOS automatically understands your property boundaries without any manual setup. When a threat is detected, it doesn't just record; it takes action by triggering lights and authoritative voice warnings to deter the intruder before they can cause any harm to your Wellington home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our UK-based engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This transforms your current cameras into a proactive AI security network. We use wired connections because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed like wireless systems. This allows you to upgrade your home's security to the latest AI standards while making the most of your existing hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal activity and mimics it when you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection: our AI identifies intruders the moment they cross your boundary, even if they are trying to hide their face or shape. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS uses external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and triggers instant illumination. This escalating response is designed to let criminals know they've been spotted by an intelligent system, driving them away before they can attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is processed and stored within the UK, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model where our Intelligence Hub handles the majority of the AI work locally on your property for speed and privacy. We only use our secure UK cloud for escalations and remote access. Your data belongs to you, and we never sell or share it. You can access 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks via our secure app, giving you total control over your home's security data.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door; it often only tells you someone was there after they've already left. scOS is a proactive, whole-property intelligence system. It monitors your entire boundary and acts autonomously to stop crime. While a doorbell might send you a notification that you miss, scOS identifies threats and triggers deterrents like lights and voice warnings automatically. It doesn't just show you a crime; it prevents it. For a home in Wellington, scOS provides a much higher level of security and peace of mind than a doorbell alone.

Wellington's proximity to the M5 makes it a potential target for transient crime, where thieves look for quick access in and out of an area. scOS is specifically designed to counter this with DVLA Vehicle Recognition. Our AI can identify registration plates and check them against the database, flagging suspicious or cloned plates immediately. By detecting and deterring intruders the moment they arrive, scOS provides a robust defence against the types of opportunistic property crime that can occur in well-connected towns like Wellington.

Yes, scOS is excellent at protecting all parts of your property, including gardens and outbuildings. Our MotionX technology is trained to ignore the movement of trees and plants, focusing only on human activity. This means you can secure your back garden and any sheds or garages without being plagued by false alarms. If someone enters your garden at night, scOS will detect them immediately and can trigger an escalating response to move them on before they can cause any damage or attempt to enter your home.

The 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask it questions like, 'Did the gardener come today?' or 'Was there any unusual activity while I was out?' and it will provide a clear, conversational answer based on the recorded footage. This makes it incredibly easy to stay informed about what's happening at your home, giving you peace of mind whether you're at work or on holiday.
