Traditional CCTV is a passive observer that merely records your property being burgled, whereas scOS is a proactive intelligence system designed to prevent the crime from happening. While standard systems rely on 'motion detection' that triggers for every passing cat or swaying branch, our proprietary MotionX technology ignores environmental noise to focus exclusively on 'important activity.' It requires no manual 'tripwires' or 'zones' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a genuine threat is detected, scOS 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 a high-level intelligence network. We work with most professional wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK-based installation, which typically takes 4-6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we can apply our MotionX AI and proactive deterrent features to your current setup, saving you the cost of a full hardware replacement while vastly upgrading your security.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which uses AI to mimic human activity patterns inside your home when you're away, making the property look occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour—even if the person is masked or crawling—without the false alarms that lead to complacency. Finally, if a threat persists, the system triggers Active Intervention. This involves instant illumination and escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers, informing the intruder they have been detected and the police are being notified.

Your privacy is our priority, which is why scOS is a 100% UK-based operation. Unlike many competitors who ship data to overseas servers, your footage and data are processed locally on your Intelligence Hub before being escalated to our secure UK-based data centres. We are fully GDPR compliant, and your data remains entirely yours; we never sell or share your information with third parties. You have full control over your recordings, which are stored for up to two weeks and accessible only by you through our secure app.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at your front door, often after they've already pressed it or stolen a package. scOS is a comprehensive property-wide intelligence system that monitors your entire perimeter. While a doorbell might show you a crime in progress, scOS is designed to stop the crime before it happens by detecting intruders at the boundary of your property. With features like vehicle recognition and escalating voice deterrents, we provide a level of professional security that a simple doorbell camera cannot match.

We understand that Bardwell is a historic village with many beautiful period properties. Our professional installation team is experienced in working with listed and heritage homes. We use discreet, high-quality wired cameras and can often utilise existing cable runs or hidden paths to ensure the technology doesn't detract from your home's aesthetic. The 'intelligence' is in the software, not bulky hardware, allowing for a powerful but low-profile security presence.

In a village with a crime rate as low as Bardwell's, the biggest threat is often the 'scout'—someone looking for an easy target. scOS's MotionX AI is designed to detect 'Covered Face Detection.' If someone approaches your property wearing a balaclava, mask, or even a tightly pulled hood in unusual circumstances, the system flags this as suspicious immediately, triggering a deterrent response before they can test your locks.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your security system using natural language. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can simply ask, 'Did any delivery vans come by this morning?' or 'Was there anyone in the garden last night?' It provides instant, accurate answers based on the AI's analysis of your property's activity, making it easy for anyone to manage their home security.
