Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records footage for you to watch after a crime has happened. scOS is a proactive AI security system designed to stop crime before it even starts. It uses our unique MotionX technology, which identifies 'important activity'—specifically human movement—and ignores false alarms from wind, animals, or shadows, which are common in coastal areas like Wootton. Unlike standard systems, scOS doesn't need you to set up complex motion zones; it automatically detects your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with automatic lights and voice deterrents, actively scaring off intruders before they can enter your home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most professional wired IP cameras, including those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your existing cameras with the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'uplifts' your current hardware, giving it the power of our advanced AI, such as person recognition and DVLA vehicle checking. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade your home security to a proactive, intelligent system without the need to replace all your existing cameras.

scOS uses a three-layer deterrent strategy to protect your Wootton home. The first layer is Presence Simulation, which uses internal IoT devices to make your home look occupied by mimicking your daily routines—this is especially useful for holiday homes or when you're away on the mainland. The second layer is MotionX detection, which identifies anyone entering your property, even if they are wearing a mask or hood. The third layer is Active Intervention, where the system uses external IoT speakers to deliver voice warnings and triggers automatic lighting. This proactive response removes the element of surprise and deters criminals before they reach your home.

Your data privacy is our top priority. scOS is a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. We use a hybrid processing model where the scOS Intelligence Hub handles most of the AI work locally on your property, only using our secure cloud for escalation and remote access. We never sell your data, and you have full control over your 24/7 recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks. This ensures your privacy is protected by UK law and your footage remains for your eyes only.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you when someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive, proactive protection for your entire property, including gardens, driveways, and side entrances. Unlike doorbells, which can be prone to false alarms and signal jamming, scOS is a professionally installed, wired system that uses AI to actively deter criminals with voice and light responses. It doesn't just show you who's at the door; it stops them from getting there in the first place.

Wootton's location between the Fishbourne ferry and Newport makes it a prime area for transient activity. scOS includes DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which identifies every car that enters your driveway. The system checks registrations against the DVLA database and can alert you to suspicious vehicles, such as those with cloned plates or cars that don't belong in the area. This proactive monitoring allows you to spot potential 'casing' of your property before a crime is ever attempted, providing an extra layer of protection for your cars and your home.

For Wootton residents with holiday homes or those who spend time on the mainland, scOS's 'Presence Simulation' is a game-changer. It doesn't just turn lights on and off on a timer; it uses AI to mimic your actual home habits, making it look like someone is truly there. Combined with 24/7 remote access and scOS Director, you can check in on your property from anywhere in the world and get an intelligent summary of any activity, giving you total peace of mind while you're away.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Was there any unusual activity last night?' or 'Did the window cleaner come today?' It’s like having a digital security guard who knows your home's normal patterns and can give you an instant summary. This is particularly useful for Wootton residents who want high-level security that is easy to manage and fits into their busy lifestyles.
