Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens but does nothing to stop it. scOS is proactive, using our proprietary MotionX technology to identify 'important activity'—like a person approaching your property—rather than just movement. Unlike standard systems that require complex 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from swaying trees or spiders, MotionX works out of the box to recognise humans in any guise. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automated light and voice responses to deter the intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent security network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our advanced AI, such as DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive boundary detection, to the equipment you already own.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the property appear occupied. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour or covered faces the moment someone crosses your property boundary—no manual zones required. Finally, the system triggers an escalating response: instant illumination followed by authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive intervention is designed to make criminals feel 'seen' and watched, forcing them to abandon their attempt long before they attempt a break-in.

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike many competitors, scOS is 100% UK-based, meaning your data is stored in secure UK data centres and is fully GDPR compliant. We use a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate AI analysis locally on your property for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure cloud when necessary for alerts or remote access. Your footage is recorded 24/7 with up to two weeks of storage, and we never sell your data to third parties. You maintain total control over who sees your information.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is already at your door; scOS is a comprehensive intelligence system that stops them from getting that far. While doorbells often suffer from lag, battery issues, and limited fields of view, scOS provides 24/7 professional-grade monitoring of your entire property boundary. It uses wired connections to prevent signal jamming and employs sophisticated AI to distinguish between a delivery driver and a genuine threat. We don't just show you who stole your parcel; we prevent the intruder from entering your garden in the first place.

Alderholt is one of the safest places to live, but that shouldn't mean your home is unprotected. Professional thieves often target low-crime areas precisely because residents are less likely to have advanced security. scOS provides a discreet, intelligent layer of protection that ensures your home remains as safe as the statistics suggest, without intruding on your quiet village life.

Living on the edge of the New Forest means plenty of deer, foxes, and other wildlife. Standard motion-sensing cameras would be constantly triggering false alarms. Our MotionX AI is revolutionary because it ignores animals and only focuses on human activity. You won't get a notification for a wandering pony, but you will be alerted the moment a person enters your property.

scOS is 100% UK-based, and that includes our professional installation team. We cover the Dorset area and will come to your home in Alderholt to set everything up in a single day. We don't use subcontractors; our own trained engineers ensure your system is perfectly calibrated to your property's specific layout.
