Traditional CCTV is passive; it records a crime while it happens, leaving you with grainy footage of a person in a hoodie. scOS is proactive. Our MotionX technology is a revolutionary leap forward, focusing on 'important activity' rather than just motion. Unlike standard systems, it requires no motion masks or tripwires; it works out of the box to ignore cobwebs, spiders, and wind-blown trees. It recognises people regardless of whether they are walking, crawling, or attempting to hide their figure. When scOS detects a genuine threat, it doesn't just watch—it intervenes with automatic light responses and voice deterrents to stop the intruder before they reach your door. It’s the difference between having a witness and having a digital security guard on duty 24/7.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand agnostic, meaning we can transform your existing 'dumb' cameras into an intelligent, proactive security network. We are compatible with most major wired IP camera brands, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. During our professional UK installation, which typically takes between 4 and 6 hours, our engineers will assess your current hardware. By connecting your existing cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we enable local and cloud processing that brings MotionX intelligence and escalating responses 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 high-quality video feed.

scOS uses a sophisticated three-layer approach to deterrence. First is Presence Simulation, our primary passive deterrent. It learns your home's normal activity patterns and simulates them when you're away—turning lights on and off in a natural sequence to make the property appear occupied. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious behaviour with zero false alarms. It recognises people even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Finally, if a threat is detected, the system triggers Active Intervention. This starts with instant illumination to strip away the cover of darkness, followed by escalating voice warnings delivered through external IoT speakers. These aren't two-way audio clips; they are AI-driven warnings that let the intruder know they have been spotted and their presence is being recorded, usually causing them to flee immediately.

Privacy is at the core of scOS. Unlike many competitors who ship data overseas, we are 100% UK-based. This means our company, our support teams, and our data centres are all located right here in the UK. We are fully GDPR compliant, ensuring that your data remains yours and is never sold to third parties. Our system uses a hybrid processing model: the Intelligence Hub in your home handles the initial local processing for speed and privacy, only escalating to our secure UK cloud when necessary for advanced analysis or remote access. You have full control over your footage, with 24/7 recording stored for up to two weeks, accessible only by you through our secure app. We believe you shouldn't have to trade your privacy for your security.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that tells you someone is at the door—often after they've already pressed it or stolen a parcel. scOS is a comprehensive property intelligence system designed to stop crime before it happens. While a doorbell covers a tiny fraction of your home, scOS monitors your entire property boundary using AI that auto-detects your land lines without needing manual zones. It provides proactive protection through escalating responses, voice deterrents, and presence simulation—features a doorbell simply cannot offer. Furthermore, scOS uses professional wired connections rather than easily jammed Wi-Fi, ensuring that your security remains online even if a criminal uses a signal jammer. It’s the difference between a doorbell and a fortress.

Barlestone is a tight-knit village, but its proximity to the A447 makes it accessible for opportunistic thieves travelling between Hinckley and Coalville. Leicestershire Police often deal with rural thefts that occur when residents feel most secure. scOS provides an extra layer of vigilance by learning the 'normal' patterns of your street. If a vehicle with cloned plates—detected via our DVLA vehicle recognition—lingers near your property at an unusual hour, the system flags it as an anomaly. This proactive approach ensures that even in a quiet village, your home remains a 'hard target' that criminals would rather avoid.

Yes, scOS is particularly effective at protecting outbuildings, garages, and sheds, which are often targets in Leicestershire villages. Because our AI auto-detects property boundaries, it can monitor the perimeter of your entire plot, not just the main house. If someone approaches a detached garage or a garden workshop, the system can trigger an automatic light response and a voice deterrent immediately. This is far more effective than a standard alarm that only sounds once the door has already been forced open. We stop the intruder at the boundary, keeping your tools, bikes, and equipment safe.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to interact with your home security as if you were talking to a security guard. Instead of scrolling through hours of footage, you can ask natural questions like, 'Was there anyone on the driveway this morning?' or 'Did the delivery driver leave the gate open?' It uses our Activity Pattern Recognition to provide instant, accurate answers. For Barlestone residents who may be busy with work or family, this saves time and provides immediate peace of mind, allowing you to check on your property's status in seconds from anywhere in the world.
