Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records a crime while it happens, often leaving you with grainy footage of a masked intruder after the damage is done. scOS transforms your security into a proactive digital guard. Our proprietary MotionX technology doesn't just look for movement; it understands activity. Unlike standard systems that require you to draw complex 'motion masks' to avoid false alarms from the wind or pets, MotionX works out of the box to identify genuine threats like a person lurking near your windows. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic lighting and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and works with almost any modern wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. We don't believe in forcing you to rip out perfectly good hardware. Instead, our Intelligence Hub connects to your existing cameras and 'upgrades' them with our advanced AI. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes just 4 to 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current setup to ensure everything is compatible. By layering scOS over your existing cameras, you gain all the benefits of proactive protection and MotionX intelligence without the cost of a full hardware replacement.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to stop criminals in their tracks. First is Presence Simulation: our AI learns your household's normal patterns and simulates human activity inside the home when you're away, making the property look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies 'important activity'—it recognises people even if they are trying to hide their face or change their silhouette, and it ignores false triggers like animals or cobwebs. Finally, if a prowler enters your property, scOS triggers an escalating response. This starts with instant illumination and moves to authoritative voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers, making it clear to the intruder that they have been spotted by an intelligent system.

At scOS, we take a 'privacy by design' approach. Unlike many competitors who send all your raw footage to overseas servers, scOS is 100% UK-based. Your data is processed locally on your Intelligence Hub for immediate response, and only escalated to our secure UK-based cloud data centres for storage and remote access. We are fully GDPR compliant, meaning your data stays yours 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 accessible only by you through our encrypted app, ensuring your family's privacy is never compromised.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool; it tells you someone is at the door, but by then, they are already on your threshold. scOS provides whole-property intelligence. While a doorbell might miss someone climbing over a side fence or tampering with a rear window, scOS monitors your entire property boundary. Our system is designed to stop a crime before it happens, using proactive deterrents to turn criminals away before they even touch your door. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections rather than easily jammed Wi-Fi, providing a level of reliability and security that a consumer-grade doorbell simply cannot match.

Many Alveley residents commute to nearby towns like Bridgnorth or Kidderminster. scOS's Presence Simulation is perfect for commuters; it learns your daily routines and mimics them while you're at work. By simulating internal activity, your home never looks empty during the day, which is when many residential burglaries occur. This provides a powerful, passive layer of protection that works while you're away from the village.

Alveley's position overlooking the Severn Valley means properties can be exposed to high winds and heavy rain. Unlike standard motion-sensing cameras that would trigger false alarms every time a branch moves, our MotionX AI is designed to ignore environmental factors. It focuses solely on 'important activity'—specifically human movement—ensuring you only get alerted when there is a genuine reason for concern, regardless of the weather.

Yes, scOS features Covered Face Detection. If an intruder attempts to hide their identity using a hood or mask, the AI recognises this as suspicious behaviour. The system can then trigger an immediate escalating response, such as a voice warning from an external speaker, letting the intruder know they have been spotted by an intelligent system and often causing them to flee before they can attempt a break-in.
