Traditional CCTV is a passive recording tool; it captures footage of a crime but does nothing to stop it. In a rural village like Winkleigh, where police response times can be longer, you need a proactive solution. scOS uses AI to intervene the moment a threat is detected. Our MotionX technology identifies 'important activity'—like a person scouting your perimeter—without the false alarms caused by wind or animals. When an intruder is detected, scOS automatically triggers lights and voice warnings through external IoT speakers. It’s an active deterrent system that works to prevent crime, rather than just recording it for the police later.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and compatible with most professional wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If you already have cameras installed at your Winkleigh property, our Intelligence Hub can likely integrate them, adding our advanced AI capabilities to your existing hardware. Our professional UK-based installers will handle the setup, which typically takes 4-6 hours. We recommend wired systems over wireless because they are more reliable and cannot be jammed, ensuring your home remains protected even in more isolated rural locations.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to keep your home safe. First, Presence Simulation learns your daily routines and mimics them when you're away—turning lights on and off naturally—so your home always looks occupied. Second, our MotionX AI detects intruders the moment they cross your property line, even if they are trying to conceal their identity. Third, the system uses Active Intervention, delivering escalating voice warnings and light responses through external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent reaction is designed to stop a criminal in their tracks and force them to leave before they can attempt a break-in.

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: our Intelligence Hub handles data locally for instant response, while our secure UK cloud provides escalation and remote access. Your data is yours alone; we never sell or share it. You can access your 24/7 recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, from anywhere in the world, giving you total peace of mind that your privacy is protected.

A video doorbell only monitors your front door and only alerts you when someone is already there. In Winkleigh, where homes often have larger gardens or outbuildings, this isn't enough. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, automatically detecting your boundaries and monitoring every approach. It includes advanced features like DVLA vehicle recognition and presence simulation that doorbells lack. Most importantly, scOS proactively deters intruders before they reach your door, whereas a doorbell is often just a way to watch a crime happen in real-time.

In rural Devon, the distance between neighbours can make properties feel isolated. scOS acts as a virtual perimeter, using AI to monitor your land 24/7. Because our MotionX technology is trained to ignore livestock and wildlife, you won't get false alarms from animals. However, the moment a human enters your property, the system identifies them and can initiate a voice deterrent. This provides a 'ring of steel' around your home, giving you peace of mind that your property is protected even when neighbours aren't nearby.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that lets you interact with your security system using natural language. You can ask, 'Was there any activity near the garage last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive?' and get an instant answer. This removes the need to scroll through hours of footage and makes managing your home security as simple as sending a text. It’s designed to keep you informed and in control of your Winkleigh home with minimal effort.

Our system includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which is a powerful tool for village security. It automatically reads the number plates of any vehicle that enters your property and checks them against the DVLA database. This allows the system to recognise your own cars and those of regular visitors, while flagging unrecognised or suspicious vehicles—such as those with cloned plates. If a vehicle that doesn't belong is detected scouting your property, scOS can alert you immediately and even initiate a deterrent response, helping to prevent vehicle theft before it happens.
