Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record what happens, but don't prevent it. You're relying on police to respond after a crime occurs, and by then, damage is already done. scOS is actively intelligent. Our AI continuously monitors your property in real-time, learning normal patterns and instantly detecting unusual activity. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just record—it responds. Our MotionX feature triggers targeted interventions like strobe lighting, alarm sounds, and alerts to your phone and our monitoring team, often stopping criminals in seconds. You're not just recording incidents; you're preventing them.

Yes, scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in your home. We support industry-standard cameras and can integrate them with our Intelligence Hub, the small device that powers all scOS AI features. If you're using older analog cameras, we can discuss upgrade options, but in most cases, your existing hardware is compatible. During professional installation (available for Barking and Dagenham), our technicians will assess your setup and configure everything to work seamlessly.

scOS deters crime through three coordinated layers. First, Presence Simulation randomly activates lights and sounds when you're away, creating the appearance that someone's home—criminals target properties they think are empty. Second, MotionX detects suspicious movement and immediately triggers high-intensity strobes, loud alarms, and notifications, forcing intruders to flee within seconds. Third, our Active Intervention layer coordinates with your emergency contacts and our monitoring team for immediate real-world response. Criminals know this isn't passive recording—it's active defense. Together, these layers make your property an unattractive target, and they often work before physical security is even tested.

Your video and security data is processed and stored in UK data centres, ensuring compliance with UK data protection and GDPR requirements. We don't sell your data, and you maintain full control over who can access your footage. All communication between your Intelligence Hub and our servers is encrypted, protecting your privacy while allowing our AI to provide real-time threat detection and response. You can review footage in the scOS app, and you're never locked into a contract.

Video doorbells tell you who's at your door—after they've arrived. scOS stops crime before it reaches your door. Doorbell cameras only cover your entrance; scOS monitors your entire property—back gardens, side passages, windows, driveways—everywhere criminals look. More importantly, doorbells are reactive; scOS is proactive. A doorbell shows you a threat; scOS detects, deters, and responds to threats automatically, 24/7, even when you're asleep or away. For serious property protection in Barking and Dagenham, doorbell security simply isn't enough.

The Intelligence Hub is a compact device—about the size of a small speaker—installed at your property. It's the brain of scOS, processing all video feeds locally in real-time, powering presence simulation, motion detection, and threat response. It doesn't require much space; we typically install it in a utility cupboard, loft, or inconspicuous corner. You'll have internet connectivity and a stable power supply, but once set up, it runs independently. Professional installation is available for Barking and Dagenham residents, or if you're technically confident, self-setup is straightforward.

scOS detects and responds to threats in seconds. When our AI identifies suspicious activity, it immediately triggers alarms, strobes, and sends alerts to your phone and emergency contacts. If you've added our monitoring service, our team receives an alert simultaneously and can assess the situation and coordinate response. This speed is critical—most burglaries succeed because of slow response times. scOS eliminates that delay.

scOS requires an active internet connection to function. When you're connected, all AI features—threat detection, presence simulation, and our monitoring team alerts—work in real-time. If your internet goes down, the Intelligence Hub will continue recording footage locally on its storage, so no footage is lost. However, AI-powered threat detection and response features won't work until your connection is restored. We recommend a stable, priority internet connection for best results. If internet reliability is a concern, we can discuss backup connectivity options during installation.

scOS offers two setup options. Professional installation, available for Barking and Dagenham, includes full configuration, camera integration, and testing—you get peace of mind knowing everything is optimized. Alternatively, if you're tech-confident, self-setup is straightforward; we provide step-by-step guidance in the app. Either way, our support team is available if you have questions during setup.

scOS pricing is transparent and simple—you pay per camera, starting from just 63p per day. There are no hidden fees, no long-term contracts, and no charges based on property size. You only pay for the cameras you protect. Add or remove cameras anytime without penalties. During your consultation, we'll show you the exact cost for your setup.
