Traditional CCTV systems are passive—they record what happens, but don't intervene. scOS transforms your existing cameras into an intelligent security network. Our AI continuously analyzes what's happening in real-time, learning the normal patterns of your property and instantly detecting anomalies. When a threat is detected, scOS doesn't just alert you; it activates MotionX (intelligent lighting) and can dispatch professional responders within seconds. Your current CCTV system sits idle unless you're actively watching—scOS works tirelessly, 24/7, making decisions and taking action autonomously.

Yes. scOS works with most wired IP cameras already installed in your property. You don't need to rip out and replace your existing setup. Our system integrates with standard camera protocols, so whether you have older analog cameras or modern IP cameras, we can work with them. The Intelligence Hub connects to your existing network and begins protecting your home immediately. If you're considering new cameras, we can advise on compatible models that work seamlessly with scOS, but replacement isn't required.

scOS deploys three layers of active deterrence. First, Presence Simulation creates the appearance that someone is home—lights turn on and off naturally, mimicking occupancy patterns. Second, MotionX responds to detected threats by activating bright, targeted lighting that disorients intruders and makes them highly visible. Third, when a break-in is detected, scOS can dispatch professional responders who arrive within minutes, ready to apprehend. Criminals target homes they believe are empty or unprotected. scOS makes your property appear occupied, brightly lit, and actively monitored—making it an unattractive target.

Your data is processed and stored in UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. We take privacy seriously. Video footage is processed locally by your Intelligence Hub whenever possible, minimizing data transmission. When cloud processing is needed, encryption ensures your data is protected in transit and at rest. You maintain full control over your footage and can delete it at any time. We never sell your data, and we don't train AI models on your videos without explicit consent.

A video doorbell shows you who's at your door—after they've already arrived. scOS stops crime before it starts. While a doorbell is reactive, scOS is proactive: it monitors your entire property boundary 24/7, detects threats early, activates deterrents, and dispatches help. A doorbell can't activate lights or contact responders. scOS protects not just your front door, but your entire property—garden, side access, windows, and perimeter. Video doorbells are a single point of detection; scOS is a complete intelligent security ecosystem.

The Intelligence Hub is a small, powerful device installed at your property that powers all scOS AI features. It processes camera feeds locally, runs our threat detection algorithms, controls your smart lights, and coordinates with cloud services. Think of it as the brain of your security system—it makes autonomous decisions in real-time, doesn't require you to do anything, and works continuously to protect your home. Professional installation ensures optimal placement and network configuration, but self-setup is available for tech-confident users.

scOS detects and responds to threats in seconds. Our AI algorithms analyze camera feeds in real-time, and when a threat is identified, the system immediately activates MotionX lighting and alerts professional responders if needed. Unlike traditional security where you have to see an alert on your phone and call for help, scOS is already acting to protect your home while you're notified simultaneously. Response time is measured in seconds, not minutes.

scOS requires an active internet connection to function fully. Local camera recording on compatible systems continues during an internet outage, but AI-powered threat detection and response features won't work until your connection is restored. We recommend ensuring a reliable, redundant connection (such as a backup mobile hotspot) to maintain continuous protection. The Intelligence Hub stores buffered data and resumes full operation instantly when connectivity returns.

Professional installation is available and recommended to ensure optimal camera placement, intelligent light positioning, and network configuration for best performance. However, if you're tech-confident and understand your network setup, self-setup is available for most properties. Professional installation typically takes 2-3 hours and includes system testing and training on all features.

scOS pricing is transparent and affordable—from just 63p per day per camera, giving you complete peace of mind. There's no calculation based on property size or number of rooms; you simply pay per camera monitored. This means you can start small with one or two cameras and expand protection throughout your property as you choose. Get in touch to discuss your specific property and receive a personalized quote.
