Traditional CCTV is passive; it records events for you to review after a crime has occurred. scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. We use MotionX, our proprietary AI technology that focuses on 'important activity' rather than just motion. This means no more false alarms from wind, animals, or shadows. MotionX automatically understands your property boundaries and can recognise a human form even if the person is trying to hide their face or movement. When a threat is detected at your Alderton home, scOS takes immediate action with lights and voice deterrents, providing an active defence that traditional systems simply cannot match.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and works with most existing wired IP cameras, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which takes about 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will integrate your current cameras into the scOS Intelligence Hub. This 'brain-lift' upgrades your existing hardware with our advanced AI, including MotionX detection and proactive deterrents. It's a great way to enhance your Alderton property's security without the need for a completely new set of cameras. If you don't have a system yet, we can provide a full, high-specification wired setup tailored to your home's specific layout and needs.

scOS uses a three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation: our AI learns your home's normal activity patterns and mimics them when you're away, making your house appear occupied. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies an intruder the moment they step onto your property, regardless of how they are moving or if they are wearing a mask. Third is Active Intervention: when a threat is detected, scOS triggers external IoT speakers to deliver AI voice warnings and activates instant, bright lighting. This escalating response—from making the home look lived-in to direct, audible warnings—is designed to startle intruders and force them to leave your property immediately.

Privacy and data security are central to scOS. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure, GDPR-compliant UK data centres. Your Intelligence Hub processes data locally for the fastest response times and only uses the cloud for secure storage and remote access. We never sell your data to third parties, and you have total control over your footage. We also avoid invasive facial recognition, using behaviour-based person recognition instead. This ensures that your family's privacy is respected while still providing elite-level security for your Alderton home, with all data remaining safe, secure, and under your control.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only shows you who is at your front door. scOS is a comprehensive home intelligence system that protects your entire property boundary. While a doorbell might alert you when someone is already at your entrance, scOS is designed to detect and deter that person long before they reach your door. By using proactive AI, lights, and voice deterrents, scOS provides a complete shield for your home, driveway, and gardens. For Alderton residents, scOS offers a much higher level of security than a doorbell, stopping crime before it happens rather than just recording it after the fact.

Alderton's proximity to the coast and Bawdsey means many properties may be used as holiday homes or left empty for periods. scOS is perfect for these situations. Our Presence Simulation feature is far more advanced than simple light timers; it replicates your actual habits, making the home look truly lived-in. Additionally, our scOS Director conversational AI allows you to check on your property from anywhere by asking questions like, 'Has anyone been near the house this week?' This provides invaluable peace of mind for second-home owners, ensuring your coastal retreat is always being watched over by an intelligent, proactive system.

While Alderton is a peaceful village with a lower crime rate than the national average, its coastal location can make properties feel isolated, which can be a target for opportunistic thieves. Complacency is the biggest risk in safe areas. scOS provides 24/7, unwavering vigilance, ensuring that even if you aren't worried about crime, your home is still being actively protected. Our AI-driven system doesn't just record; it monitors for any unusual activity and intervenes automatically. By installing scOS, you are taking a proactive step to ensure that your Alderton home remains a safe haven, preventing crime before it ever becomes an issue.

We use wired connections for scOS because they are far more reliable and secure than wireless systems. Wireless cameras can be easily jammed by criminals using inexpensive devices, and they often suffer from signal interference, especially in older buildings with thick walls. Wired connections ensure that your system is immune to jamming and provides a consistent, high-quality video feed 24/7. During our professional UK installation, we handle all the cabling discreetly, providing a rock-solid security foundation for your Alderton property that you can depend on, regardless of the weather or any attempts to disrupt your home's intelligence.
