Traditional CCTV is a passive observer; it records your property being burgled so you can watch the footage later. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that stops crime in its tracks. The core difference lies in our MotionX technology, which moves beyond simple motion detection. While standard systems are plagued by false alarms from wind, spiders, or rain, MotionX focuses only on 'important activity.' It recognises people regardless of how they move or if they attempt to conceal their identity, and it understands your property boundaries automatically. Instead of just filming, scOS intervenes using external IoT speakers and lighting to warn intruders off before they ever touch your door. It’s the difference between a witness and a digital security guard.

Yes, scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic and can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent network. We work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, including brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation process, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware to ensure compatibility. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup. This allows you to upgrade to world-class AI security without the need to replace every piece of hardware you’ve already invested in, provided they meet the necessary technical standards for wired connectivity.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy to keep your home safe. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent; the system learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away, making the house appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour at the very edge of your property boundary. Unlike basic sensors, it isn't fooled by disguises or unusual movement. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system initiates an escalating response. This includes instant illumination through automatic light response and direct voice warnings delivered via external IoT speakers. These layers work together to convince a criminal that the home is occupied and monitored, usually causing them to flee before an entry is even attempted.

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 remains 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 from anywhere in the world via our secure app. By keeping our operations, support, and data centres within the UK, we ensure the highest standards of data sovereignty and security for our users.

A video doorbell is essentially a digital peephole; it tells you who is at the door once they’ve already arrived. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system designed to stop crime before it reaches the door. While a doorbell has a limited field of view and often relies on 'dumb' motion detection, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using MotionX AI. It doesn't just record; it actively deters. Furthermore, doorbells are often wireless and can be easily jammed or removed. scOS uses professional-grade wired connections that are immune to WiFi jamming, providing 24/7 recording and proactive intervention that a doorbell simply cannot match. It’s the difference between seeing a package thief and preventing them from stepping onto your driveway in the first place.

Aston Clinton is a prime target for high-value vehicle theft due to its affluent residents and easy access to the A41. scOS features DVLA Vehicle Recognition, which monitors cars near your property and can identify suspicious vehicles or cloned plates. This proactive monitoring, combined with our MotionX AI that detects anyone approaching your driveway, provides a powerful defence for your cars. By intervening with lights and voice warnings the moment a threat is detected, scOS stops thieves before they can even attempt to bypass your vehicle's security.

Many Aston Clinton residents commute to London or nearby Aylesbury, leaving their homes empty for long periods. scOS uses Presence Simulation to make your home look occupied by mimicking your typical daily activity. This is far more effective than simple light timers, as it creates a realistic pattern of life that deters burglars who scout for empty houses. You can also use scOS Director to ask natural questions about your home's status while you're at work, giving you total peace of mind throughout the day.
