Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records what happens but doesn't intervene. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. Our MotionX technology is a game-changer, focusing only on 'important activity' like human movement while ignoring pets, wind, and shadows. This means you won't be plagued by false alarms. Unlike other systems, scOS doesn't need you to draw motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS takes action with lights and voice warnings from external IoT speakers, stopping intruders before they can break in. It’s the difference between having evidence of a crime and preventing the crime entirely.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Westwood home already has a wired CCTV system, our Intelligence Hub can likely adopt those cameras, instantly upgrading them with our advanced AI capabilities. Our professional UK-based installers will assess your existing hardware during the 4-6 hour installation process. By using a wired system, we ensure your security is far more reliable than wireless alternatives, which can be easily disrupted by Wi-Fi jamming devices—a common tool for modern burglars.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deter criminals. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied when you're away by naturally cycling your lights. Second is our MotionX AI, which identifies suspicious behaviour and covered faces with 100% accuracy. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, the system triggers an escalating response of bright lights and clear voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, automated response removes the intruder's anonymity and makes it clear that the property is actively defended, which is the most effective way to force a criminal to retreat.

Your privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all data is handled in strict compliance with UK GDPR. We use a hybrid processing model: your Intelligence Hub handles local processing for immediate response, while our secure UK-based cloud servers handle long-term storage and advanced AI analysis. Your data is never sold to third parties, and you have full control over your footage. You can access 24/7 recordings from the last two weeks at any time via our secure app, giving you peace of mind that your Westwood home is protected and your privacy is respected.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides full-property intelligence, monitoring your entire perimeter, including gardens, side gates, and driveways. While a doorbell is a reactive convenience, scOS is a proactive security system designed to stop intruders before they reach your house. Our AI can distinguish between a delivery driver and someone scouting your property, and it can take action—like turning on lights or issuing a voice warning—automatically. For a village home in Westwood, where properties often have multiple entry points, a doorbell simply isn't enough.

Westwood’s proximity to Bath and Bradford-on-Avon can make it a target for professional burglars looking for high-value homes in quiet areas. scOS is designed to combat this by providing a proactive 'digital perimeter.' Our AI identifies 'important activity' specifically, so you won't be bothered by alerts for every passing car, but you will be notified the second a person enters your property. This allows you to enjoy the peace of village life knowing that your home is being watched over by a system that knows the difference between a neighbour and a threat, providing a robust defense against opportunistic crime.

Yes, scOS features advanced DVLA Vehicle Recognition. In areas near affluent towns like Bradford-on-Avon, where vehicle theft and the use of 'cloned' plates are concerns, our system can automatically scan the registration of any vehicle entering your driveway. It checks these against the DVLA database to ensure the vehicle matches its registered details. If a suspicious or unrecognised vehicle is detected, scOS can alert you immediately. This provides vital evidence for Wiltshire Police and acts as a powerful deterrent against car thieves who often scout locations before striking.

scOS is built for the modern homeowner. Our 'scOS Director' is a conversational AI that allows you to ask natural questions about your home’s security. You can ask, 'Was there any unusual activity while I was in Bath today?' or 'Who was at the side gate this morning?' and get an instant, intelligent summary. This is perfect for Westwood residents who may work or spend time in nearby towns, as it provides a quick way to stay informed without scrolling through hours of footage. It’s like having a personal security assistant available on your phone at all times.
