Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records crime for you to watch after the fact. scOS is a proactive guardian that uses MotionX technology to identify "important activity" in real-time, ignoring false triggers like wind or animals. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex motion masks, scOS automatically detects your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is identified, the system doesn't just watch; it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice warnings from external IoT speakers to deter the intruder before they can cause damage.

Absolutely. scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most existing wired IP camera systems, including popular brands like Hikvision, Dahua, and Reolink. Our professional UK-based installation team will assess your current setup during their visit. By connecting your "dumb" cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform your existing hardware into a sophisticated AI network capable of DVLA vehicle recognition and proactive deterrence, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while significantly upgrading your security.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First, Presence Simulation mimics your typical internal activity patterns when you're away, making the home appear occupied. Second, our MotionX AI identifies suspicious behaviour the moment someone crosses your property boundary, even if they are attempting to conceal their face or figure. Finally, the system uses Active Intervention, triggering external IoT speakers to deliver escalating voice warnings and instant illumination. This combination of looking occupied and reacting instantly to threats makes your home a much harder target for criminals.

We take your privacy seriously, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub and only escalated to our secure UK-based data centres when necessary for AI analysis or remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring your footage remains your property and is never sold or shared with third parties. You have total control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and can be accessed securely through our app from anywhere in the world.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that usually only alerts you once someone is already at your front door. In contrast, scOS provides whole-property intelligence that aims to stop crime before it reaches your entrance. By monitoring your entire boundary and using proactive measures like presence simulation and voice deterrents, scOS identifies and challenges intruders at the edge of your property. While a doorbell provides a video of a crime in progress, scOS is designed to prevent the crime from ever happening.

In a quiet market town like Alton, the biggest security risk is often complacency. Criminals often target affluent areas like East Hampshire because they expect lower levels of security. scOS ensures you are never a 'soft target' by providing professional-grade AI monitoring that detects threats long before they reach your front door, providing peace of mind whether you're at home or enjoying a day out on the Watercress Line.

Many Alton properties feature detached garages or garden offices that are vulnerable to theft. scOS's MotionX technology is perfect for these structures, as it can be configured to monitor specific outbuildings without the need for complex wiring or separate systems. The AI will recognise if someone is loitering near your shed or garage and can trigger a voice deterrent to warn them off immediately.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. If you're away from your Alton home, you can simply ask, "Has anyone been to the back gate today?" or "What time did the delivery arrive?" The Director will scan your footage and give you a clear, concise answer, making it feel like you have a dedicated security guard watching over your property 24/7.
