Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is an active participant in your home's security. Most systems use 'motion masks' that trigger for every passing animal or swaying branch, but scOS uses MotionX technology. This AI focuses only on 'important activity,' ignoring the environment while instantly recognising human presence, even if they are trying to hide their figure. Most importantly, scOS intervenes. It automatically detects your property boundaries and uses lights and voice warnings to stop intruders before they reach your home. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a proactive security guard.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have cameras, our Intelligence Hub can likely take them over, upgrading them with our advanced AI. During our professional UK installation (which takes 4-6 hours), our engineers will assess your current setup. We always recommend wired over wireless connections because they are immune to the signal jamming often used by modern burglars, ensuring your security remains robust and reliable in the Surrey Hills.

scOS deters criminals through three layers of proactive protection. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal activity patterns when you're out. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders at your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic light responses. These are escalating AI-driven responses that make it clear to an intruder that they are being watched and that the system is actively defending the property.

Privacy is a core value at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all our data centres are located within the UK. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for immediate response, and any data sent to the cloud is protected by strict UK privacy laws and is fully GDPR compliant. We never sell or share your data. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe.

A video doorbell is a reactive device; it only tells you someone is at your door, often after they've already arrived. scOS is a proactive, whole-property system. It monitors your entire boundary, not just the front door, and uses AI to stop intruders before they ever get close. With features like DVLA vehicle recognition and scOS Director—which lets you ask natural questions about your property—scOS provides a comprehensive security solution that a doorbell simply can't match. For the affluent homes in Westcott, whole-home protection is essential.

Westcott's location on the A25 makes it easily accessible for professional thieves who target affluent areas in the Surrey Hills. scOS is specifically designed to counter this with our DVLA Vehicle Recognition. The system logs every vehicle that enters your property's vicinity and checks registrations against the DVLA database. It can flag suspicious vehicles or cloned plates instantly, giving you an early warning and providing Surrey Police with high-quality evidence that traditional cameras would miss.

Absolutely. scOS is perfect for those who travel frequently. Our Presence Simulation feature is much more advanced than a simple light timer; it mimics your actual habits to make your home look genuinely lived-in. You can also use the scOS Director feature to check on your home from anywhere in the world. Just ask, 'Has anyone been on the driveway today?' and the AI will give you an instant update. It’s like having a trusted neighbour watching over your home 24/7.

Many Westcott residents live in beautiful properties where aesthetics are important. scOS is designed to be as discreet as possible. Our professional installation team is experienced in working with high-end properties, ensuring that cameras and IoT speakers are placed effectively but unobtrusively. Because scOS can work with a wide range of camera brands, we can often select hardware that blends in with your home's architecture while still providing world-class AI protection.
