scOS represents a generational leap over traditional CCTV. While standard systems just record video, scOS uses MotionX technology to understand what it's seeing in real-time. It ignores false triggers like spiders or wind and focuses entirely on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Unlike older systems that require manual 'zones,' scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. It doesn't just watch; it acts by triggering lights and voice warnings to stop a crime before it happens, making it a proactive guardian rather than a passive witness.

In many cases, yes. scOS is brand agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our Intelligence Hub can integrate these existing feeds, applying our advanced AI and MotionX detection to your current hardware. During our professional UK installation, our engineers will perform a full assessment to ensure your cameras are compatible. This allows Welwyn residents to upgrade to world-class AI security without needing to replace their entire existing infrastructure.

scOS deters criminals through three distinct layers of AI-driven protection. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your internal home activity to make the property look occupied while you're out or at work. Second, our MotionX technology identifies intruders instantly, even if they are wearing masks or hoods to hide their identity. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention—triggering external IoT speakers to deliver authoritative voice warnings and instant lighting. This escalating response shows criminals that your home is protected by an active, intelligent system, usually forcing them to abandon their attempt immediately.

Your data security is our priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. Unlike many competitors, we never sell your data or allow third-party access. Most processing happens locally on your Intelligence Hub, with only critical alerts escalated to the cloud. You have full access to 24/7 recordings for up to two weeks, and because we use wired systems, your data is protected from the Wi-Fi jamming techniques often used by modern burglars.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door; scOS is a proactive system that protects your entire property. Doorbells are often limited by a narrow field of view and frequent false alarms. scOS monitors your whole perimeter, driveways, and gardens, using AI to detect suspicious behaviour long before an intruder reaches your entrance. For homes in Welwyn, scOS provides the comprehensive coverage needed to protect high-value assets and vehicles that a simple doorbell would miss.

Welwyn's excellent transport links, including the A1(M) and Welwyn North station, make it an attractive area for residents but also a target for organised property crime. Criminals often use these routes for quick entries and exits. scOS is specifically designed to counter this by detecting 'casing' behaviour and providing instant intervention. By making your home a 'hard target' with active deterrents, you significantly reduce the likelihood of being targeted by those scouting the area for easy opportunities.

Yes, scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition as standard. The system can read number plates and check them against the DVLA database to identify cloned plates or vehicles associated with suspicious activity. You can even use the scOS Director—our conversational AI—to ask, 'Which cars have been on my drive today?' This is an invaluable tool for Welwyn residents who want to keep a close eye on their property and vehicles while commuting or travelling.

Our professional UK installation team can typically have your scOS system fully operational in 4-6 hours. We handle the entire setup, including the Intelligence Hub installation and the calibration of your property boundaries. Because we prioritise wired connections over wireless, the installation is a permanent, high-security upgrade to your home. We'll also spend time ensuring you're comfortable using the scOS Director to monitor your home's intelligence from anywhere.
