Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records a crime so you can watch it later. scOS is a proactive guardian. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection'—which often triggers false alarms from swaying trees or animals—scOS uses MotionX technology. This revolutionary AI ignores irrelevant movement and focuses exclusively on 'important activity,' such as a person approaching your property. Because it understands human behaviour, it doesn't require you to draw complex motion masks; it auto-detects your property boundaries and acts the moment they are breached. Instead of just filming a burglar, scOS intervenes with escalating responses, from lighting to voice warnings, stopping the incident before your front door is even touched.

Absolutely. One of the core strengths of scOS is its brand-agnostic nature. If you have a professional, wired IP camera system—whether it’s Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, or Reolink—our Intelligence Hub can likely take control of it. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your existing hardware. We bypass the 'dumb' software of your current cameras and pipe the raw feed into our AI engine. This instantly upgrades your existing cameras with MotionX detection, DVLA vehicle recognition, and proactive deterrents. It’s a sustainable and cost-effective way to achieve elite-level home intelligence without ripping out your current infrastructure.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. The first layer is Presence Simulation. Unlike simple timers, our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you’re away, making the house appear occupied from the inside. The second layer is our MotionX detection. It identifies 'important activity' the moment someone enters your property, recognising people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. The third and most powerful layer is Active Intervention. When a threat is detected, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI-generated voice warnings and activates instant illumination. These responses escalate if the intruder persists, making it clear to any criminal that they have been spotted by an intelligent system.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your video and data are processed through our UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles the heavy lifting locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You retain full control over your data at all times. We never sell your information to third parties, and your footage is encrypted to the highest standards. You can access up to two weeks of 24/7 recording from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you who is at the door once they’ve already arrived. By that point, a package might be gone or a lock might be tampered with. scOS is a whole-property intelligence system. While a doorbell has a narrow field of view, scOS monitors your entire boundary, from the driveway to the back fence. It doesn't just show you a crime; it stops it. While a doorbell might ping your phone while you're asleep, scOS's AI is empowered to act autonomously, using voice deterrents and lights to chase off intruders before they reach your door. It’s the difference between a digital peephole and a professional security team.

Wotton-under-Edge’s steep, winding streets and unique property layouts can often create blind spots for traditional CCTV. scOS addresses this with our advanced AI boundary detection. Our system doesn't rely on simple line-crossing; it understands the 3D space of your property. This means it can accurately detect activity even on uneven terrain or in awkwardly shaped gardens. During installation, our professional team will ensure that your cameras are positioned to provide maximum coverage, and the AI will then learn the specific layout of your land, ensuring that no corner of your Wotton home is left unprotected.

As a gateway to the Cotswolds, Wotton-under-Edge sees a fair amount of tourism and transient traffic. scOS is designed to distinguish between normal public activity and suspicious behaviour on your property. Our Person Recognition feature identifies family members and regular visitors based on their behaviour, while flagging strangers who exhibit unusual patterns, such as loitering or attempting to conceal their faces. This ensures that while you enjoy the vibrant community of Wotton, your home remains a secure sanctuary, with an AI guard that knows exactly who should and shouldn't be there.

Yes, scOS is designed to be incredibly easy to use. Through 'scOS Director,' you can ask natural questions about your property as if you were talking to a security guard. You can ask, 'Was there any unusual activity near the back gate today?' or 'What time did the delivery van arrive?' The AI understands the context of your property and provides clear, concise answers. This is especially useful for Wotton residents who want to keep an eye on their home without having to navigate complex apps or scroll through hours of footage. It makes managing your home security as simple as having a conversation.
