Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime but does nothing to stop it. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard systems that are often triggered by wind or animals, scOS focuses exclusively on human threats. When an intruder is detected on your Woodlands property, the system takes immediate action—activating lights and delivering voice warnings through external speakers. It doesn't just provide evidence for the Hampshire Constabulary; it actively prevents the crime from happening, giving you a level of protection that standard recording simply cannot offer.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and is compatible with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. If your Woodlands home already has a wired system, our Intelligence Hub can often integrate with it, upgrading your existing cameras with our advanced AI capabilities. During our professional installation, we will assess your current hardware to ensure it's compatible and positioned correctly to take full advantage of our proactive deterrent features. This allows you to upgrade your security without the need for a completely new set of cameras.

scOS uses a three-tier approach to keep your home safe. The first tier is 'Presence Simulation,' which mimics your daily activity patterns inside the house to make it look occupied, even if you're away. The second tier is our MotionX AI, which identifies people instantly, even if they are trying to hide their faces. Finally, if an intruder enters your property, scOS triggers 'Active Intervention'—this includes instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from IoT speakers. This combination of looking occupied and providing an immediate, intelligent response to trespassers is incredibly effective at making criminals move on to an easier target.

Your data security is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We use a 'local-plus-cloud' processing model, where the initial AI analysis happens on your Intelligence Hub in Woodlands, and only critical events are escalated to our secure cloud. Your data is never sold to third parties, and you have total control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system that monitors your entire boundary. While a doorbell might tell you someone is at the door, scOS will have already detected them as they entered your driveway or approached a side gate. Furthermore, scOS is a hard-wired system, which is much more reliable than the wireless signals used by doorbells that can be easily jammed. With proactive deterrents like voice warnings and presence simulation, scOS stops the crime before the criminal even gets to your door.

Living in the New Forest means you're surrounded by wildlife, which can be a nightmare for traditional motion-sensing security systems. scOS's MotionX technology is specifically designed to ignore animals, whether it's a deer in your garden or a pony wandering past your gate. It focuses exclusively on 'important activity'—human movement. This means you won't be plagued by false alarms, and you can trust that when scOS alerts you, it's for a genuine security concern. It's the perfect solution for homes in a rural, wildlife-rich area like Woodlands.

Woodlands' location near the A35 makes it a potential target for opportunistic 'drive-by' scouting. scOS is specifically designed to counter this. Our MotionX AI and DVLA Vehicle Recognition can identify suspicious activity and vehicles long before a break-in is attempted. By providing an immediate, proactive response, scOS makes your home a much harder target, encouraging opportunistic criminals to stay on the main road and away from your property. This is especially important for homes with larger driveways or those that are slightly set back from the road.

We understand that Woodlands residents value the natural beauty of their surroundings. Our professional UK-based installation team is expert at performing discreet, clean installations. We use wired connections for maximum reliability, but we take great care to hide all cabling and ensure that cameras and speakers are placed as unobtrusively as possible. The result is a high-tech security system that provides world-class protection without compromising the aesthetic appeal of your property. The entire process typically takes just 4 to 6 hours.
