Most CCTV systems in Woodford are passive; they record footage to a hard drive for you to review after a crime has already occurred. scOS is a proactive Intelligence Hub that monitors your property in real-time. Using our MotionX technology, it distinguishes between 'important activity' (like a person prowling) and 'unimportant motion' (like a bird or the wind). When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just record—it intervenes. It uses automatic light responses and escalating voice warnings from external IoT speakers to challenge intruders, stopping them before they ever break in. It’s not just a camera; it’s an active security presence.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, or Axis. If your Woodford property already has a high-quality wired system, we can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This 'upcycles' your existing cameras, giving them the power of MotionX AI and proactive deterrence. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your setup to ensure maximum compatibility. We always recommend wired systems over wireless ones, as they cannot be disabled by the Wi-Fi jammers often used by sophisticated criminals.

scOS uses three layers of AI-driven deterrence to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your daily habits and mimics them when you're away, making your home appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they cross your property boundary, even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: the system triggers instant lighting and delivers escalating voice warnings through external IoT speakers. These warnings are designed to let the intruder know they have been identified by an intelligent system, which is usually enough to make them flee immediately.

Privacy is paramount at scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant and never sell your data to third parties. Unlike many competitors, scOS uses a local Intelligence Hub to process your video feeds, only using the cloud for secure backup and remote access. You have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures that your Woodford home's security data remains private, secure, and under your total control at all times.

A video doorbell is a great tool for seeing who is at the front door, but it offers very little protection for the rest of your property. In Woodford, where homes often have significant grounds and multiple entry points, a doorbell is easily bypassed. scOS provides 360-degree property intelligence. It auto-detects your boundaries and monitors every corner of your land. While a doorbell might record a thief taking a parcel, scOS uses MotionX to identify a prowler in your garden and uses voice deterrents to stop them before they even reach your house. It’s a professional-grade security solution, not just a gadget.

Woodford is one of the safest areas in the country, but its affluence can make it a target for high-value thefts. In a low-crime area, it’s easy to become complacent, but scOS ensures you are never caught off guard. Our system provides 'always-on' intelligence that doesn't get tired or distracted. By maintaining a proactive presence, scOS ensures that your home remains a 'hard target,' discouraging criminals from even considering your property. It’s about maintaining the peace and security you moved to Woodford for in the first place.

Cheshire Constabulary covers a wide area, and while they are highly effective, they cannot be everywhere at once. scOS acts as your first responder. By using escalating voice warnings and lights, the system often deters criminals before a 999 call is even necessary. If an incident does occur, scOS provides Cheshire Constabulary with high-quality, AI-verified evidence, including DVLA-linked vehicle recognition and behaviour-based person recognition. This detailed data is far more useful for police investigations than standard, grainy CCTV footage, significantly increasing the chances of a successful outcome.

Woodford residents often have high-value vehicles that are targets for 'relay theft' or plate cloning. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition as standard. Our AI scans the registration plates of any vehicle that enters your property and checks them against the DVLA database. It can alert you to cloned plates or vehicles that have been flagged for suspicious activity. If an unauthorised vehicle enters your driveway, scOS can immediately notify you and use its voice deterrent system to warn the occupants that their vehicle has been logged, providing a powerful deterrent against car thieves.
