Traditional CCTV in Whiteley is often 'passive,' meaning it records footage for you to look at after a crime has already occurred. scOS is 'proactive.' Our MotionX technology eliminates the need for frustrating motion masks by using AI to identify 'important activity'—ignoring wind, spiders, and animals while instantly recognising people. Unlike standard systems that trigger false alarms, scOS auto-detects your property boundaries and uses external IoT speakers and lighting to actively deter intruders. It doesn't just watch a crime; it works to prevent it from happening in the first place, providing a level of intelligence that standard cameras simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can integrate with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup. We use your existing cameras to feed our Intelligence Hub, which adds AI capabilities like person recognition and proactive deterrents to your current hardware. This allows Whiteley homeowners to upgrade to world-class AI security without the expense of replacing their entire camera network, provided the existing cameras are professional-grade and wired.

scOS employs a three-layered deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home look occupied by mimicking your internal lighting patterns—essential for Whiteley commuters who are away during the day. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces with zero false alarms. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property boundary, the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers bright lights. This immediate, escalating response lets criminals know they are being monitored by an active AI system, usually forcing them to abandon their attempt immediately.

Your privacy 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. We use a hybrid processing model where the Intelligence Hub on your property handles the initial AI analysis locally. Data is only sent to our secure cloud when a potential threat is detected or when you want to view your footage remotely. We never sell your data, and you retain full ownership and control over all recordings, which are stored for up to 14 days.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats before they reach the house. While a doorbell might record a parcel being taken, scOS uses proactive voice warnings and presence simulation to stop the thief from entering your property at all. Additionally, scOS is a hard-wired system, making it far more reliable than battery-powered doorbells that can be easily jammed or lose connection.

Whiteley's property crime rate of 20.59 is lower than the national average, but its proximity to the M27 makes it a prime target for opportunistic 'commuter' crime. Thieves often look for modern estates where they can make a quick getaway. scOS ensures you don't become a statistic by providing a proactive deterrent that makes your home a 'hard target.' Even in safe areas, the goal of scOS is to ensure that your property is the one a criminal decides to skip.

Yes, scOS features advanced Covered Face Detection. Our AI is trained to recognise the human form regardless of how someone is moving or what they are wearing. If the system detects someone approaching your property with their face obscured by a balaclava, hood, or mask, it flags this as highly suspicious activity. This triggers an immediate alert and can initiate the escalating response protocol, such as turning on lights and delivering a voice warning, to deter the individual before they can cause any damage.

scOS is designed for the modern Whiteley lifestyle. Through our scOS Director, you can use natural language to ask questions about your home while you're at work or shopping. You can ask, 'Is the driveway clear?' or 'Has the window cleaner been?' The AI provides instant, conversational answers based on its analysis of your property's activity. It’s like having a digital security guard that you can talk to at any time, giving you total peace of mind without having to check camera feeds constantly.
