Traditional CCTV is a passive recording device; it only helps you see what you've already lost. scOS is a proactive intelligence system. It uses our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—specifically human threats—while ignoring common false alarms like animals or swaying trees. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. If an intruder is detected, the system uses external IoT speakers and automatic lighting to challenge them, deterring the crime before it even happens at your Wincanton property.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and can integrate with most existing wired IP camera systems, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If your Wincanton home already has a wired setup, we can likely use those cameras as the 'eyes' for our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade to advanced AI features like MotionX and DVLA vehicle recognition without the expense of a full hardware overhaul. Our professional UK installers will perform a full assessment during the 4-6 hour installation process to ensure everything is working perfectly.

scOS uses three layers of AI-driven deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which mimics your home's natural lighting and activity patterns when you're away, making the house look occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies people with incredible accuracy, even if they are disguised or moving stealthily. Third is Active Intervention: when a threat is confirmed, the system triggers external IoT speakers to give voice warnings and activates bright lights. This immediate, intelligent response is designed to make any criminal realise they've been spotted and flee immediately.

Your data security is paramount. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres in full compliance with GDPR. We never sell your data to third parties. The system uses a hybrid processing model: the scOS Intelligence Hub on your property handles the immediate AI analysis locally, while our secure UK cloud is used for more complex tasks and remote access. This ensures that your security is both lightning-fast and completely private.

A video doorbell only covers your front door and is largely reactive—it tells you someone is there, but it doesn't stop them. scOS provides whole-property protection, monitoring your entire boundary and intervening the moment a threat is detected. In Wincanton, where property crime rates are near the national average, having a system that can stop a burglar at the garden fence or driveway is far more effective than a doorbell that only records them once they've reached your front door.

Wincanton's proximity to the A303 makes it a convenient target for criminals who use the main road for quick access and escape. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which automatically identifies the registration plates of vehicles entering your property. It can flag suspicious or 'cloned' plates by checking them against the DVLA database. This provides an essential early warning system, alerting you to potential threats before an intruder even exits their vehicle.

scOS features Covered Face Detection, specifically designed to identify individuals attempting to hide their identity with hoods, masks, or balaclavas. Unlike standard motion sensors that might just see 'movement,' our AI recognises the human form and flags suspicious concealment as a high-priority threat. This immediately triggers the escalating response system, including voice deterrents and lights, ensuring that even the most prepared criminals are challenged the moment they step onto your property.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to manage your home security using natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Director, was there anyone on the driveway this morning?' or 'Did the postman come while I was out?' The AI understands your home's normal activity patterns and can provide instant answers, saving you from having to manually review hours of footage. It's like having a digital security guard for your Wincanton home that you can talk to anytime.
