Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that aims to stop the crime from happening in the first place. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our MotionX technology uses advanced AI to identify 'important activity.' It recognises human movement patterns—even if someone is crawling or wearing a mask—and ignores environmental noise. This means zero false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. When a threat is detected, the system can automatically trigger external lights and escalating voice warnings from IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they ever touch your door or windows.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any professional-grade wired IP camera, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. We believe in transforming 'dumb' cameras into intelligent assets. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. If your cameras are compatible, we simply connect them to our scOS Intelligence Hub. This hub processes the video locally before escalating specific events to our secure UK cloud for deeper analysis. This approach allows you to upgrade your home security to world-class AI standards without the need to replace all your existing wiring or hardware.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your home's normal lighting and activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies a person the moment they cross your property boundary—no matter how they try to hide their shape or face. Third is Active Intervention. If an intruder persists, the system triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination of external lights and moves to clear, AI-generated voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. By challenging the intruder early and making it clear they are being monitored by an intelligent system, scOS forces them to leave before a break-in occurs.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many global security brands, scOS is 100% UK-based. This means your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub in your home handles the initial 'local' processing of video feeds. Only when the AI identifies a potential security event is the relevant data escalated to our UK cloud for advanced analysis. You retain full control over your footage, which is recorded 24/7 and stored for up to two weeks. We never sell your data, and our system is designed so that your private life remains private, focusing only on security threats.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that 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-wide intelligence system. While a doorbell has a limited field of view, scOS monitors your entire property boundary, including side paths, back gardens, and driveways. More importantly, doorbells rarely deter a determined criminal; they just record them. scOS proactively intervenes using presence simulation and voice deterrents to stop a criminal before they even reach your door. It’s the difference between having a doorbell and having a digital security guard watching every corner of your home 24/7.

Wheatley's proximity to the M40 makes it a target for 'drive-in' thefts. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically checks the registration plates of cars entering your driveway against the DVLA database. It can flag cloned plates or vehicles that don't match their registered description, giving you an early warning of suspicious activity that standard CCTV would miss.

Thames Valley Police cover a large, busy region. scOS helps by providing 'Activity Pattern Recognition.' The system learns what is normal for your Wheatley home—like when you usually arrive or when the bins are collected. If it detects an anomaly, such as a vehicle idling outside at an unusual hour, it alerts you immediately. This proactive intelligence allows you to act before a crime is even attempted.

Yes. Unlike wireless systems that can be easily disrupted by signal jammers—a tool increasingly used by sophisticated burglars—scOS uses professional wired connections. This ensures that your security remains online and vigilant 24/7, regardless of Wi-Fi interference or intentional jamming attempts, providing the robust protection Wheatley residents expect.
