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 loitering near your property—rather than just general motion. Unlike standard systems that rely on easily-fooled motion masks, scOS requires no manual setup and produces zero false alarms from wind, spiders, or animals. When a genuine threat is detected, the system 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 and integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. This allows you to upgrade to AI-driven protection without the cost of replacing all your existing cabling and cameras.

scOS uses a three-layered approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to learn your internal lighting patterns and mimic human activity while you're away, making your home look occupied. Second, our MotionX technology identifies suspicious behaviour, even if the intruder is wearing a mask or attempting to hide their figure. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers an escalating response: instant external illumination followed by authoritative warnings from external IoT speakers. This proactive sequence is designed to convince a criminal that they have been spotted by a person, not just a machine.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is 100% UK-based. All data processing begins locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK data centres for AI analysis. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your footage is never sold or shared with third parties. You maintain total control over your data, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app, ensuring your Ashley home remains private.

A video doorbell only tells you someone is at the door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS provides whole-property intelligence, monitoring your entire boundary and detecting threats long before they reach the entrance. While a doorbell is a reactive gadget, scOS is a proactive security guard that uses escalating deterrents to stop a crime from happening in the first place. Furthermore, our wired system is immune to the 'jamming' techniques that frequently disable wireless doorbells.

Living on the edge of the New Forest means plenty of wildlife, from ponies to deer. Unlike standard CCTV, scOS's MotionX technology is specifically trained to ignore animals. It focuses only on 'important activity'—human movement and suspicious behaviour. This means you won't be woken up by a pony wandering past your driveway, but you will be alerted if a person approaches your home.

Ashley is a quiet residential area, which can unfortunately make it a target for 'out-of-town' criminals looking for easy opportunities. scOS's Presence Simulation makes your home look occupied even when you're out in New Milton or further afield. By mimicking your natural lighting patterns, it provides a powerful passive deterrent that stops burglars from even considering your property.

Hampshire Constabulary values clear, actionable evidence. scOS records 24/7 and stores footage for up to two weeks. Because our AI identifies specific behaviours—like someone trying to hide their face—you can provide the police with high-quality, relevant clips that are far more useful for identification and prosecution than hours of empty footage.
